Neye Benziyor? Originally from Baltimore, MD, but now based in Paris, John Simms, together with his late brother, Arthur, released an eponymous album on Casablanca back in 1980, scoring on the r&b charts with the single therefrom, ‘That Thang Of Yours’. The title here (My Acoustic Soul) refers more to the nature of being stripped down to often personal lyrics than to the musical accompaniment, John being assisted (except on the multi-John plus guitar, ‘She Told Me’) by six further musicians, who make a good backdrop for his compositions, the whole coming across like some sort of menage à trois - the French connection! - between Terry Callier, Eric Bibb and Dobie Gray, plus more than a soupçon (!) of originality. (I’d even venture to add Cat Stevens into the mix for the gently toe-tapping, mandolin-supported ‘Anything For You’.) This generally low-key outing earns such adjectives as ‘profound’ (the Bobby Rangell sax and Johan Dalgaard keyboard-supported ‘Does It Matter Now’), ‘impactful’ (‘You Lift Me Up’, sax again) and ‘complex’ - ‘It’s Hard To Say Goodbye’, which gets some reggae beats thrown in occasionally. Although Simms often provides his own vocal backings, he is assisted by Ms Jean Carpenter for the gentle ‘When The Storm Is Over’ and by Kieran Mahoney and Cormac O’Neil for the upbeat ‘You Can Handle It’. ‘Keep The Good’, the set’s closer, is dedicated to brother Arthur, while the most commercial offering is the beat-ballad, ‘I’ve Got To Know’. Regular ITB?contributor, Frederic Adrian, drew my attention to this most worthy set. He is hoping to catch one of his Paris gigs shortly and, on the strength of this, will doubtless have a moving experience.

As a guitarist, learning my instrument in the early seventies, my musical influences were vast. As a vocalist, I really didn't have to search any further than my own family. I became interested in guitar at the age of 12, and at 17, I was making a name for myself as lead guitarist and bandleader for various local r&b, and pop bands.
I was lucky enough to be taken on as guitarist, musical arranger and occasional road manager for my nephew's group "The Softones", already Baltimore's number one R&B recording act. It was with the "Softones" that I began to tour the U.S, Canada and Japan.

After a while I felt the need to learn more about singing, songwriting and composition. After about two and a half years with the "Softones", and at the end of a second European tour of club dates I decided to put in my notice to join a German based group called the "Singing Players".
At the end of one year and after reassuring myself that I was indeed a "singing player" I decided to accept my brother Arthur's invitation to come to Paris to "see what we can get into".
Arriving in Paris I found myself for the first in my young adult life not in a band but Arthur and I soon found ourselves recording backing vocals for a number of French recording artists and various musical productions.
I stayed on in France following Arthur's death in 1987 and continued composing, writing and doing studio work. After my wife passed away in 2002.I was no longer sure what direction to take.I prayed for an anwser.The time had come... I wanted other peole to hear the songs I had written over the years.
I had set my heart on doing an album with acoustic intruments so when I met up with an old friend (Michel Tattinger) last year who had just opened his own recording studio (Bluegamm), the album 'My Acoustic Soul' came to life.
There are nine songs on the album. Here are four that I have selected to upload. Please feel free to let me know what you think by posting a comment.
I hope you enjoy the music. » Peace, John Simms

Je garderais toujours dans mon coeur une place pour John et Arthur Simms...Souvenir de mails échangés avec John Simms, d'un Grand Monsieur d'une simplicité et d'une gentillesse hors du commun...d'une voix qui prend aux tripes...d'un talent à l'état pur.

Vous manquez terriblement...
Always, always, always...

i'm so sorry that i'll never have the opportunity again to view your concert....it's really sad.
But i'm sure you have a well deserved place on the cloud beside
folks like James Brown or Marvin Gaye...
peace and love,John !

La musique perd un grand artiste,doué ,généreux et sensible.J'ai eu la chance de te rencontrer plusieurs fois et tu resteras a jamais dans mon coeur. Le bon dieu ne s'y est pas trompé,il rappel a lui souvent les meilleurs. Il n'a néanmoins pas le droit de t'arracher a ceux qui t'aiment , qui vivaient auprès de toi,et a qui tu manques.j'espère que tu as retrouvé ceux qui t'avaient quittés trop tot aussi,et que tu n'avais pas oubliés. Je suis de tout coeur avec ta compagne et ta famille.
sois en paix.
