JJ BARRIE is best remembered for the smash hit single “No Charge” which made Number 1 in UK charts in 1976 (knocking Abba from the top!) and elsewhere around the world. However JJ Barrie started his music career as manager to Norman Wisdom and BLUE MINK and then creating his own record label Power Exchange before he took up song writing himself before becoming a singer.
Despite a successful career as a singer, JJ (real name Barry Authors) moved into the film business writing screenplays and he opened a development company based at Shepperton Studios in England before relocating to Canada where he now lives.
All tracks on “No Charge” are the original tracks as chosen by JJ Barrie who over the years had a successful and accomplished career as a singer releasing no less than six albums.
Reviews
And here's the real artistry of JJ: an ability to inhabit any song. There will be more of his oeuvre on Angel Air, so it's time for rediscovery of Barrie. ****

This collection will hopefully re-introduce folks to Barrie's upbeat country/pop toe tappers. With Americana music at an all-time high in terms of popularity and sales, folks very well might be in the mood to revisit this artist's contributions to the world of music. Seventeen upbeat melodic tracks here including "Lucille I Got A Honey Of A Deal," "No Charge," "Bottle Of Gin," "Gypsy Woman," and "Sweet Was My Rose."
