Everything about James Dewar Rock Vocalist totally explained
James Dewar (born
12 October 1942, in
Glasgow; died
16 May 2002 in
Glasgow) was a
Scottish bassist and
vocalist for
Robin Trower and
Stone The Crows, the latter having its beginnings as the resident band at the legendary
Burns Howff in Glasgow.
Dewar's career began with
Lulu and the Luvvers in the early
1960s. His career eventually reached its
zenith with the Robin Trower Band, a
British rock power trio, after the
1974 release of the album
Bridge of Sighs.
Dewar made his mark as one of the greatest white
soul singers, performing in front of sold-out stadiums and concert halls across the
United States at the crest of the
1970s classic rock era. The Scotsman had a rich, powerful voice, with a soulful timbre, and was widely regarded as one of the most under-rated rock vocalists. Deep, gritty, and resonating, his style shows the influence of
Ray Charles and
Otis Redding. Along with fellow Brits
Paul Rodgers and
Frankie Miller, his voice is particularly suited for
blues and
soul-inspired material. In his best moments, Dewar was a vocalist extraordinaire, and many fans consider it a shame that he didn't have more of an opportunity to explore his range.
With many of his friends, Dewar recorded his one solo album,
Stumbledown Romancer, during the 1970s, at the height of his career, but it wasn't released until two decades later. He collaborated primarily with longtime
Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher on the album, with the title track relating a hard-luck story ...
...Stumbledown Romancer
I never made the grade
Never on the dance-floor when the music played
Always moving on when I should have stayed...
