    "comment": "James Albert Abraham (April 10, 1936, Trinidad and Tobago – March 21, 2000, Wiekevorst, Belgium), known as Jimmy James Ross or Mel Turner, was a singer and composer mostly known for his 1981 boogie hit in England, \"First True Love Affair\".\n\nHe joined the US Navy at a young age as a cook. Later in life, he took his mother's last name, Ross. During his teenage years in the Navy, he quickly became known for his singing capabilities on board of the ship. Making extra money in local bars and clubs whenever they went ashore, Ross quickly got recognition for his talent.\n\nNot long after leaving the Navy, he made his way to Europe. Having lived in the U.K. and Germany, where he got married, he finally settled down in Belgium, where he lived for the rest of his life.  https://tinyurl.com/279paz27",
