Billy James (publicist)
Billy James is a publicist and talent scout; best known for his work in the 1960s and 1970s discovering and developing musical talent for record companies such as Columbia, Elektra, and RCA Records.
As a young publicist for Columbia, James became Bob Dylan's emissary at the label and was reportedly one of the only "suits" Dylan trusted; he conducted for CBS the earliest available taped interview with Dylan, of which a fragment is available.
Sent to the West Coast, James found himself in the middle of the West Coast music scene. He wrote liner notes for The Byrds' first album, Mr. Tambourine Man, and brought artists such as The Doors and Jackson Browne to the attention of Elektra Records. In 1966, he managed the folk singer Penny Nichols, who was hired by The Sandpipers, but sang with them on just one concert at San Diego.
James was respected by artists and his peers for his humor, irreverence, intelligence and integrity in an industry that rarely fostered the latter.
Billy James (rugby union)
William John "Billy" James (born 18 July 1956) is a former Welsh international rugby union player.
A hooker, he captained the Wales national rugby union team on one occasion against Ireland in 1987. James played his club rugby for Aberavon RFC where he was initially nurtured under the eye of club legend and then Captain Morton Howells, whom he succeeded in the front row berth.
James was one of three front row Internationals in the Aberavon RFC side at that time - Clive Williams and John Richardson being the others.
He captained Aberavon RFC in the 1979-80, 1980-1, 1984-5, 1987-88 & 1988-9 seasons.
In 1989 James was one of several leading players who fell out with the management of the club over several issues, the major one being finance and the way forward. No agreement was reached and he was one of nineteen players who left the club. He finished his career with Swansea RFC
