Background notes
Archive material and source history
James Wolpert is a singer-songwriter from Philadelphia who came up in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His 1981 debut album included 'A Case of You,' a song that got covered by other artists and used in films and TV shows. He followed that with albums like 'The Gypsy' in 1983 and 'The Scars of Love' in 1985.
His recordings show a folk and blues influence, with some rock and jazz touches. Beyond 'A Case of You,' his catalog includes songs like 'I Don't Need No Doctor,' 'Mr. Brightside,' and 'Radioactive.' He worked with musicians like guitarist Howie Gordon and drummer Jim Keltner.
In 1992, Wolpert was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which affected his ability to perform live. He kept writing and recording, putting out albums into the 2000s, including 'Out of Time' in 2008. In 2004, there was a dispute over the use of 'A Case of You' in a perfume commercial, which led to a settlement.
