James Carr (musician)
James Carr (June 13, 1942 – January 7, 2001), was an American rhythm and blues and soul singer.
Born to a Baptist preacher's family in Coahoma, Mississippi, Carr began singing in church and was performing in gospel groups and making tables on an assembly line in Memphis, Tennessee, when he began recording in the mid-1960s for Goldwax Records, a small Memphis based independent record label.
Carr first made the R&B charts in 1966 with "You've Got My Mind Messed Up", followed by his most famous song "The Dark End of the Street", written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman. Carr continued to record for Goldwax until the label closed in 1969 but failed to reach the same heights with his subsequent releases.
Carr suffered from bipolar disorder for most of his life which affected his career. This was evident during a tour of Japan in the 1970s when he froze in front of an audience following an overdose of antidepressants. However he completed the Japan tour with much success. A resurgence in interest in his music, spurred by his portrayal in Peter Guralnick's 1986 book Sweet Soul Music, helped return Carr to the recording studio but failed to deliver any further chart success.
James Carr (wrestler)
James Emmet Carr (born 28 January 1955 - August 15, 2013) was an American wrestler who competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics
Carr died August 15, 2013 from complications from a motor vehicle accident.

Love Attack
Now here I am
With this pain in my heart now
I got a sweet little woman
Took my heart and
She tore it apart
I tried not to show it
But it just ain't no use
It's just like holding on
To a hot rod now, baby
I can't turn it loose now
I just had a love attack
Lord, I just had a love attack
Now my love life was nothing
In fact, it was a blank
Until you came along, ooh wee
You put a little tiger in my tank
Can't you see you got me
Helpless right now, baby
Laid down on my back
You got me down, down, down
Down, down from a love attack
I've had the mumps and the measles
Lord, I had the whooping cough
I been down with double pneumonia
But I was able to shake it off
But you came along and
Knocked me flat on my back
Now you got me suffering
From a little love attack
I fell for you, baby
Baby, I fell for you
Just like a rock now
When you turned on your love
I was so weak, I just
Couldn't stand the shock now
You hit me just like lightning
Knocked me out of my chair
You got me down, baby
I'm down with a love attack
Can't you see you
Got me down right now
Down with a love attack
Got my mind messed up
I got a love attack now
I, I love you
