US-born singer and songwriter.
Born February 5, 1944 in Tonawanda, Buffalo, New York, USA, died August 18, 2004 in London, England. He's best remembered for his few, but great contributions to British R&B history as the writer of "Don’t Bring Me Down" for The Pretty Things and "Get Yourself Home" for The Fairies. What exactly led to overnight emigration to Frankfurt in 1966, where he became Eva Bartová's first "Adam" in the duo Adam & Eve, isn’t exactly clear, but he did it again in 1974 after being charged in London for “procurement of women for brothels”. From 1966 to 68 he played 'Jack of all trades' for the Bellaphon label.
J.C. Dee was sentenced to six years in 1975 for some near fatal stabs in the back of his girlfriend, broke out of the Dieburg jail soon after and vanished in France.
