All it took was holding his first guitar at the age of eighteen (1961) that was given to him by his sister’s boyfriend, Jimmy Gilmer,
who had a hit song in the sixties called Sugar Shack. Within a year he was playing in a band and later became a founding member of
The Illusions and landed a record deal with Dot Records. In the early sixties he and his buddies decided to leave their hometown of Amarillo, Texas,
and head to Los Angeles. During that time, The Illusions became The Kitchen Cinq recording with Lee Hazelwood’s LHI label for three years and this later
led to jobs with other recording bands like Armageddon and THEM (post Van Morrison) with some studio work with various recording artists on the side.

With a career spanning over forty years, Jim has been a persistent advocate for the invisible songwriter, having facilitated a songwriter support group in Huntsville,
Alabama for over twenty years. After turning over the reins to fellow songwriters, the group is now affiliated with the Nashville Songwriters Association
International (NSAI) and continues to support and mentor budding songwriters. 

Jim is the creator and host of a popular show at the Von Braun Center Playhouse in Huntsville, AL called Jim Parker’s Songwriter Series where he showcases
 the incredible talent of hit songwriters from Los Angeles, Canada, Georgia, Nashville, TN, Muscle Shoals, AL, and surrounding areas.
The dinner-theater type atmosphere has created a highly anticipated monthly event where people can listen to great songs from the people
who wrote them and here the stories behind their songs. Without the songwriter there would be no music because “it all begins with a song.”
