James Damiano
Biography
James Damiano:

A skillful master of lyrics and melody, worked with Bob Dylan and Dylan’s organization from 79 to 92. Best known for the melody line and lyrical hook of Bob Dylan’s Grammy nominated “Dignity”.

In 1979 James originally from Freehold New Jersey drew the attention of the renowned CBS record producer John Hammond Sr. discoverer of , Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pete Seeger, Charlie Christian, Billy Holiday and Bruce Springsteen.

Throughout the 80’s James continued working and recording with band members Jimmy and Joey Voltaggio under the name “The Words”. Joey’s father an accomplished pianist who mentored Joey often played for President Kennedy at the white house.

Joey a pianist and guitarist played a regular gig at Johnny Cash’s Berkley Carteret Hotel lounge in Asbury Park NJ. across from Convention Hall.

While in Asbury James recruited Big Danny Gallagher to do dobro work on his songs and Danny brought in Mario Phillips in on electric. Big Danny seen here on the album cover with Bruce Springsteen was a great musician and very good friends with Bruce.
Their friendship dates back as far as before Bruce was signed to CBS Records.

Bruce was actually living with Danny at the time he was signed to Columbia Records by John Hammond Sr.

Damiano’s first recording was a live studio cut with James on acoustic, Jimmy Voltaggio on electric guitar and Earnest Carter from The E Street Band on drums. It was titled “Where Are You Jesus”, pure and simple straight up rock and roll. Voltaggio’s riffs where electrifying and Earnest Carter’s drumming was relentless.

The song stood out musically for it’s immense hard driving intensity. James and the band who were working with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s producer and John Hammond’s assistant Mikie Harris, believed they delivered to CBS what they were looking for.

Mikie and Mr. Hammond partook in the excitement with the band until Mikie decided to drop the bomb and said she “wanted to stay away from what she considered to be religious songs” even though no one who has ever heard the song ever described it as religious.

Relating to the on going moral and political issues in the world today “Where Are You Jesus” becomes stronger every second as an evident and obvious chronicle regarding the confusion and greed of the world. Tested on the ears of Jaco Pastorius, Jaco loved the song so much that he walked around The Village for three consecutive weeks fifteen hours a day with the earphones of a sony walkman plastered to his head listening to “Where Are You Jesus”

The recording needs some refurbishing but can be heard on on the Justice album

Time was of the essence, James was trying to utilize Earnest Carter’s extraordinary talents as best and as fast as he could knowing Earnest Carter left Bruce Springsteen to go with David Sancious.

Managerial and finance concerns were an issue. Carter was still up for recording and the words were trying to put the deals together and did for some of the music

There was no telling where Boom (Earnest Carter) would end up. Finding a drummer like Boom was almost unheard of, he was hardly replaceable. Carter eventually ended up working with Billy Squire, Melanie, Paul Butterfield and many others…

When Cater left for LA, Damiano then recruited Ingo Martez, (John Bonham’s understudy). They recorded “Bury me in New York City” with Carolyn Mass on synthesizer, Tommy LaBella (Talkin Heads) on sax, James Damiano on acoustic guitar, Jimmy Voltggio on electric guitar and Walter Yardborough on bass.

Again another Damiano song stood out musically for it’s immense hard driving intensity.

In the mid 80’s Damiano recruited Big Danny Gallagher to do dobro work on his songs. Danny brought in Mario Phillips on electric. They recorded “Steel Guitars” originally titled “dignity” which was the basis of Bob Dylan’s 1996 Grammy nominated song “Dignity”

Damiano went on to record “My Cousin JoAnn” a bonafide monster of a rock and roll song only to become suspicious of CBS Records intentions…

Other affiliataions Bob Solberg guitar (Buddy Miles of Jimi Hendrix) John Doores Sax (youngest person ever to be offered a seat on the Tommy Dorsey Orchastra) Steve Gadd (Steele Dan), Peter Hartung (Peter Hartung Band) Gary Rottger piano & keys (Frank Zappa & The Fat Boys) Brian Draigo Bass (Broccile Rabe Studios) Tim Freeman synth (Freeman Philly Records) and Jaco Pastorius.

Brain Washed Propaganda

Brain Washed Propaganda

Don't let Major TV stations and Record companies like CBS, Sony, Warner, Arista, Electra control your brain. For years they have been dictating what you should listen to, what you should see and hear and what you should believe. They control what you should think. They hide facts from you and only report what they want you to know.

Bob Dylan Retains Same Illuminati Law Firm as George W. Bush

Freewheelin Bob Dylan Retains Same Illuminati Law Firm as George W. Bush in Fifteen Year Plagiarism Law Suit. Also suppresses Plaintiff’s First Amendment Rights acquiring a protective order designating all video taped depositions that are incriminating to Dylan confidential

Bob Dylan & his law firm acquired a confidentiality order in a fifteen year plagiarism law suit designating all discovery materials including fifty hours of incriminating video taped depositions as confidential suppressing Plaintiff James Damiano’s first amendment rights to warn the public of Judicial favoritism and corruption.

Camden NJ June 2, 2009 -Few artists can lay claim to the controversy that has surrounded the career of songwriter James Damiano. Twenty-two years ago James Damiano began an odyssey that led him into a legal maelstrom with Bob Dylan that, to this day, fascinates the greatest of intellectual minds.

As the curtain rises on the stage of deceit we learn that CBS used songs and
lyrics for international recording artist, Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan’s name is credited to the songs. One of those songs is nominated for a Grammy as best rock song of the year. Ironically the title of that song is Dignity.

Since auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who influenced the careers of music industry icons Billy Holiday, Bob Dylan, Pete Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan, James has engaged in a multimillion dollar copyright infringement law suit with Bob Dylan.

As per court papers it is judicially uncontested by Bob Dylan and or Bob Dylan’s law firms Manatt, Phelps & Phillips , Parcher Hayes & Snyder, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Heck Brown and Sherry and Sony House Counsel that Bob Dylan and people in Bob Dylan’s entourage have solicited James Damiano’s songs and music for over ten years and eleven months.

Interestingly enough Judge Jerome B. Simandle decided “This court will accept as true Plaintiff’s allegations that Sony represented to him that he would be credited and compensated for his work if Dylan used it. Judge Simandle also stated in his decision “Plaintiff has demonstrated a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendants had access to his work.
