A tribute to 1980's Funk and R&B singer JOYCE SIMS who sadly passed away last month aged 63. An hour-long homage of hand-picked classic jams from one of the finest voices of 1980's funk, R&B and Freestyle scenes.

Joyce is most well known for her single Come Into My Life, which reached the top 10 in the US Billboard R&B Chart, and UK Singles Chart in 1987.

She went onto release several more tracks in the following years, such as Lifetime Love, Walk Away and Looking For a Love.

We hope you enjoy this mix remembering the music of the late JOYCE SIMS.
