Jim Sullivan (singer-songwriter)
James Anthony "Jim" Sullivan (August 13, 1940 – disappeared March 6, 1975) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who released two albums before he disappeared without trace in New Mexico.
==Life==
Sullivan grew up in the Linda Vista area of San Diego, California, where his Irish-American parents had moved from Nebraska to work in the defense industry. A tall man, he was a high school quarterback. According to self-written liner notes on his first LP, he "grew up in a government housing project with a bunch of other Oakies and Arkies", and decided to play music after listening to local blues groups. He married, and played guitar in a local rock band, the Survivors, with his sister-in-law Kathie Doran. He and a friend bought a bar near to their college, but it lost money and in 1968 he moved with his wife Barbara and young son to Los Angeles.〔( Martin Winfree, "Jim Sullivan", ''Underappreciated Rock Artists'', October 2011 ).

While his wife worked at Capitol Records, Sullivan wrote songs and performed in increasingly prestigious clubs in the Los Angeles area. In particular, he became established at the Raft club in Malibu, where he became friends with Hollywood figures including Lee Majors, Lee Marvin, and Harry Dean Stanton. He appeared as an extra in ''Easy Rider'', and performed on the José Feliciano television show. His friends contributed the funding that allowed him to record an album of his songs with leading Los Angeles session musicians, keyboard player Don Randi, drummer Earl Palmer, and bass player Jimmy Bond, who was also the record's arranger and co-producer.〔 After Nick Venet at Capitol turned down the opportunity to release the record, it was issued by Sullivan's friend Al Dobbs on a small record label, Monnie, that he set up for the purpose. The album, ''U.F.O.'', was released in 1969, and featured Sullivan's songs in a style blending folk, rock and country that has been compared with Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Gene Clark and Joe South, with arrangements in the style of David Axelrod.〔〔( Frank Mastropolo, "Rock’s Unsolved UFO Mystery: The Night Jim Sullivan Vanished Into Thin Air", ''Ultimate Classic Rock'', July 2, 2014 ).

The album was remixed and reissued by Century City Records in 1970,〔 and the track "Rosey" was issued as a single, but they made little impact at the time. Sullivan continued to perform in clubs. In 1972, he recorded a second album, ''Jim Sullivan'', arranged by Jim Hughart, produced by Lee Burch and released by Playboy Records. Again, however, the record was unsuccessful. As Sullivan increasingly turned to alcohol and his marriage began to disintegrate, he decided in 1975 to travel to Nashville, where Kathie Doran was working as a singer and songwriter, and try to find success there.〔〔
