2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:24.559
on James Carr season. After being
turned down by Stax Records, James Carr

3
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:30.960
made his first recordings for gold Wax
Records. It is a Memphis sixty soul

4
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:39.399
label founded in Memphis, Tennessee in
nineteen sixty four by Quentin clanch and Rudolph

5
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:50.000
V. Russell, and is most
known for James Carr's singles. In nineteen

6
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:58.759
sixty four, James released several singles
for the label before achieving his first success

7
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:04.120
in nineteen six twenty six, When
You've Got My Mind Messed Up reached number

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:11.159
seven on the Billboard R and B
chart and number sixty three on the Pop

9
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:21.159
chart. He also released the successful
and critically acclaimed album You Got My Mind

10
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.239
Missed Up. James Carr gave us
a rhythm and blues soulful sound like Otis

11
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:36.719
Redding, except their styles were different. ODIs Redding seemed more like an energetic

12
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.959
type of singer on stage, and
he had a more raspy voice and lots

13
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:49.760
of passion. James Carr had a
more emotional vocal style. He had a

14
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.560
deep kind of voice and smooth but
both car and Redding were great soulful singers

15
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:06.000
in the nineteen sixties. Carr's album
You Got My Mind Messed Up is a

16
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:13.280
great album. There are songs such
as Pouring Water on a Drowning Man,

17
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.520
Love Attack, coming back to Me
Baby, I Don't Want to be Hurt

18
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:28.759
Anymore, just to name a few. James Carr suffered from bipolar disorder for

19
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:35.599
most of his life, but he
was dubbed the world's greatest soul singer.
