I'm researching music for my husband's radio programme. Tarzan Boy is one of the songs he's planning to play tonight as part of his 80's session. I hadn't realised there was such a mystery about who sang it. I've been looking for about an hour now and still can't find a sure a answer. Still it will give my husband something to say, if only that we don't know the answer!

Jim McShane - Facts. Yes, Jim worked for the Red Cross in his home city of Londonderry City (Northern Ireland) while training to dance and sing. I spoke to a woman who worked with him and she had many good things to say about him. She was also shocked to suddenly see him on ‘Top of The Pop’s one night. She ad no idea he left the Red Cross to live in Italy. YOU ALL SEEM TO KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE INBETWEEN.... Jim died alone and penny-less not far from where I live in a special unit for Aids victims in March 1995 because of an Aids related illness. He was alone because attitudes were still in the dark ages towards victims with some of his Family choosing to stay away. There were huge numbers of mourners in attendance to his funeral including famous singers. Jim is buried in the city cemetery (L’Derry) with his Father. His Mother is still alive and living with her other son in Knightsbridge which is an area of the city called ‘The Waterside’. I have taken photos of his grave and I intend to upload them along with information to www.findagrave.com You can find out more via, info@buzzradio.fm RIP Jim McShane

Hello friend, all right?
I saw your message and interested me a lot about what you said. I am fascinated by Baltimora and Jimmy McShane, always looked sad facts about its history, and saw that he was a hero, at least for me. I always wanted to make a fan-site in tribute to the artist, to show a little of value that I have for him, and wanted to help me with some information, photos, reports, which can, and what you have. I have some information that comes out searching for the net, and did a single article. You could help me? I Laercio Ismar, I live in the state of Paraiba, Brazil, and I am one of the few fans of the artist here in the country, who really knows who was Jimmy. Please, would greatly appreciate your help, and now, thank you!
Ah, I want to know your name, and you use e-mail to the MSN messenger, it is easier to talk!
even more !! I hope response!

I will continue "beating on the same key" and believe that Jimmy was the real singer! There is a huge difference between the songs "Global Love" and "Tarzan Boy", "Survivor in Love" is the same voice of "Global Love", among others. And another fact to be noted in the video where he talks to the presenter of "La Giostra," One would understand that the voice is similar. Oh God, when will this mystery?
