James
Radcliffe was born in New York City.
He released such singles as "My Ship is Coming In", a song composed
by his writing partner Joey Brooks (later
of "You Light Up My Life" fame), was
later covered by The Walker Brothers as
a pop music hit, and also wrote several songs featured in the children's TV
show The Banana Splits. He will be probably best remembered
for his recording of "Long After
Tonight Is All Over" (written by Burt
Bacharach and Hal David) which became famous as one of the "3 before 8"
songs that was played at the Wigan Casino all-nighters,
the Northern soulvenue. The song was a
minor hit in the UK Singles Chart in
1965, reaching #40. The popularity of "Long After Tonight Is All
Over" led to a promotional tour in support of the record, wherein
Radcliffe was featured in the British music
press (Record Mirror, NME) and appeared on
numerous radio and televisions shows including Thank Your Lucky
Stars; the ABC Lucky Stars Special Presents Cilla Black with Cilla
Black, The Riot Squad,The Hollies, The
Swinging Blue Jeans, Del Shannon and Paul Anka (January
23, 1965); and The Eamonn Andrews Show.
