Westmoreland, Jamaica (1950 – 2000)
Lloyd Jarrett Vincent (Bim Sherman), singer and songwriter, born Westmoreland, Jamaica, 2nd February 1950 (five children), died London 17th November 2000.
Born in Westmoreland, Jamaica on 2nd February 1950 the singer who became known as Bim Sherman had many aliases - Jarrett Tomlinson, Jarrett Vincent, Lloyd Vincent, Bim Shieman, Lloyd Tomlinson, J.L. Vincent etc. The names Vincent and Tomlinson came from Lloyd’s mother and father respectively. Jamaican singers of the sixties and seventies found it a commercial necessity to change names as they moved from label to label, just like the North America’s rural bluesmen of an earlier age changed names as they moved from town to town.
Bim Sherman did not ascribe his love of music to any one person but rather to his family, with whom he would attend church services and Sunday school. But as he became older, he would go to the local dancehall:
“… I always knew I could make the music, ever since I was small and it was all I wanted to do. I remember growing up and listening to it, singing along with it and feeling the power of it, which is the other side of roots, and feeling light-headed…”
In the early seventies the young Sherman swapped trades from fisherman to electrician when he moved in with one of his brothers in central Kingston.
