<p>Jim Diamond wuchs im Glasgower East End auf, wo er durch die Musik von <a href="Ray_Charles" title="Ray Charles">Ray Charles</a> und <a href="Otis_Redding" title="Otis Redding">Otis Redding</a> beeinflusst wurde. Im Alter von 14 Jahren gründete er seine erste <a href="Band_(Musik)" title="Band (Musik)">Band</a>. Später spielte Jim mit „Gully Foyle“ nicht nur in England, sondern auch auf dem europäischen Kontinent. Es folgte der Umzug nach London. Dort entstand 1975 die Gruppe Bandit. Es kam zu einem Vertrag mit <a href="Clive_Davis" title="Clive Davis">Clive Davis</a>’ <a href="Arista_Records" title="Arista Records">Arista Records</a>.
