Timothy John Booth (born 4 February 1960) is an English singer, dancer and actor best known as the lead singer from the band James.
Booth was born in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England and attended Shrewsbury School. Whilst a student at Manchester University studying drama, Booth encountered Jim Glennie, Paul Gilbertson and Gavan Whelan in 1981 in the cellar bar of the university's students' union. Impressed by Booth's distinctive dancing style, Gilbertson invited Booth to join their band as a dancer. Booth accepted the offer, and was soon promoted to lead singer and lyricist of James. (Maconie, 2000)
After a struggle for success and recognition throughout the 1980s, James finally achieved commercial success in the early 1990s with the rise of the Madchester music scene, and their single "Sit Down" reaching number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.
During 1995, Booth took a break from James and recorded an album with film composer Angelo Badalamenti, entitled Booth and the Bad Angel. He then returned to James to complete the recording of the album Whiplash, and stayed with the band until 2001 when he announced his departure to concentrate on other projects.

Booth and the Bad Angel was a music project based on the collaborative efforts of Tim Booth (lead singer with the British alternative rock band, James) and the American film composer, Angelo Badalamenti. Featuring Bernard Butler on guitar, the project's eponymous album was released in July 1996.
The collaboration between Booth and Badalamenti was initialized in 1992, when Booth made an appearance on the UK Channel 4 TV show Friday Night At The Dome, which aimed to actualize collaborations between contemporary musicians and their heroes. Booth expressed his desire to work with Badalamenti, and the show's producers put the two in touch. At the time Booth was busy recording and touring with James, so could not find the time to meet with Badalamenti, but the two kept in touch via transatlantic phone calls for over two years before finally meeting. In 1995 Booth announced he would be taking a break from James to work on an album with Badalamenti. Booth contacted Butler, recently departed from Suede to provide guitar work for the album, which was recorded through late 1995 to early 1996. The album was finally released in July 1996 and promoted by the single, "I Believe" which made number 25 in the UK Singles Chart.

An excellent broadcast, brillantly filmed live by Radio France. Introducting a new 180 degrees sound technology (in headohones). Big Up to those people. This was as well a particular concert, because I had this big own made poster of me holding Tim Booth during "Come Home" at Benicassim 2014. He kindly signed it at the end of the session. Great moment. Great Band, actually.

just love you to death
So you promised for life
Just hope my intentions hold sway
From this place that I stand
I'm afraid of such plans
Things never turn out my way
It's this duality
Thought to reality
Some bug will get in the way
Some days it feels
That I will never find land
Just spin around on the wheel
Wave hello
Shame we won't stay
Wave hello
Shame we won't stay
We've been here before
And we'll meet here again
When we go through the end of the line
So love me to death
Stand by you in life
A love that's tested in time
Welcome aboard the burning man
Hitch a ride on the burning man
