American singer-songwriter Joyce Sims had a number one hit with “Come into My Life,” which peaked in the top 10 of both the US Billboard R&B Chart and the UK Singles Chart in 1987–1988.
Sims was born on August 6, 1959, in Rochester, New York. In college, she took formal music classes and picked up many instruments.
Career
Sims signed a record deal with the now-defunct Sleeping Bag Records in 1986. Kurtis Mantronik’s production of “(You Are My) All and All,” which peaked at No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart in 1986, gave her her first successful record. It debuted at number 51 on the US Dance Chart and peaked at number six.
Sims released “Come into My Life,” which was also produced by Kurtis Mantronik, as a follow-up in 1988. It reached its highest point at No. 10 on the US Billboard R&B Chart and No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite being her lone top-10 R&B chart single, this was her biggest hit. Both “All and All” and her duet with Jimmy Castor on “Love Makes a Woman” made the charts.
Following the Top 10 success of the album’s title hit in the UK Singles Chart, Sims’ debut album, Come into My Life, peaked at No. 22 on the US R&B album chart and No. 5 in the UK Albums Chart. With the exception of “Love Makes a Woman,” Sims wrote all of the songs on the album. All About Love, the second album by Sims, debuted in 1989 and peaked at No. 64 on the UK Albums Chart.
Sims’ Sleeping Bag Records contract was assumed by Warlock Records in 1994, who issued the single “Who’s Crying Now” after acquiring the record company in 1992.
