Jim Ford - An A&GSync Exclusive


A&GSync are proud to annoucne their exclusive global sync representation of artist and writer Jim Ford. Nick Lowe considers Ford as his biggest influence, he has recorded with Sly Stone and wrote the Aretha Franklin hit, Niki Hoeky. 

As an artist he had one commercial album release in 1971 and a handful of singles, but sadly, at the height of his popularity in the 80s, disappeared into a haze of drug abuse and erratic behaviour. 

Ford was not found again until 2006 when lifelong fan LP Andersen tracked him down and found him living in a trailer amongst stacks of demo casettes, old reel-to-reel tapes and the unreleased albums that he had recorded. This previously unreleased material was re-mastered and released on 4 Bear Family compilations and it is this material that is now available for synchronisation through A&GSync.
