TRIBUTE TO JAMES HARMAN (June 8, 1946 – May 23, 2021)
Iconic blues harmonica player, singer, and songwriter James Harman had been under treatment for cancer for several months before his heart finally gave out.
Harman was born in Anniston, Alabama on June 8, 1946. He started taking piano lessons at age four and began playing harmonicas owned by his father after finding them stashed in the piano bench. By the early 1960s, Harmon was playing in blues and R&B bands around Panama City and cut his first singles
in Atlanta in 1964.
In 1977, he formed the James Harman Band. The band served as an incubator for some major talent, including Phil Alvin and Bill Bateman (The Blaster), King Ramos and Gene Taylor (Fabulous Thunderbirds), Hollywood Fats, and Junior Watson.
