[edit]

As an established editor, I have been contacted by Mr. Brickman's publicist to help correct and/or clarify some information in this biography, see Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Help. For any questions regarding these changes please contact myself or claire@jimbrickman.com. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 13:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Revision notes:

Request by Claire to temporarily remove this Jim Henson reference - "This is something we mention during interviews and while Jim is performing, but we do not have the rights to any of these songs and we are looking into getting the rights to publicizing this information."
  • Recording career - Debulked and condensed much of this section, some can be used on individual album articles but not necessary on this gentleman's biography. All removed info is posted below for future reference:
"I'm Amazed" with Lila McCann,[3] "After All These Years" with Anne Cochran,[4] "Love of My Life" with Michael W. Smith,[5] "You" with Jane Krakowski,[6] "Destiny" with Jordan Hill and Billy Porter,[5] "Simple Things" with Rebecca Lynn Howard,[7] and an instrumental love song, "If You Believe".[8] Other hits include "Rocket to the Moon"[9] and "Angel Eyes".[10] In December, 2007, he did a Christmas tour with Richie McDonald,[11] and in December 2008, Brickman played a “well-packaged show” at the Weidner Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin with Tracy Silverman (electric violinist) and Anne Cochran (vocals).[12] Jim Brickman recorded the single, “Never Far Away", a duet with Rush of Fools, which as of early 2009 was climbing Radio & Records AC Mainstream Monitored Chart at #16.[13]
In 2006, Brickman left Sony BMG for SLG Records, part of the Savoy Label Group.[14]

Beautiful World Live PBS

[edit]

I just got through watching Jim's Beautiful World concert on PBS, and there was a great singer not listed on this page that participated in the concert. I believe his name was Adam Crowley, but didn't quite hear the name, so it could be something totally different. Anyway, does anyone know who I'm talking about? I can find no internet reference to all those you participated in the concert. --Criticalthinker (talk) 03:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life Section? Is he married? Single?

[edit]

Why is there no information on his personal life? Why hasnt a nice lady snatched him up yet?... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 07:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a release missing from the Discography. 1998 saw the release of CD called "Missing Moments. It had 8 tracks on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transgeek (talk • contribs) 01:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Edit

Some proposed changes

[edit]
  • Information to be added or removed:

TO BE REMOVED/EDITED: James Merrill Brickman[2] (born November 20, 1961) is an American pop songwriter, pianist and radio host. Brickman has earned two Grammy nominations for his albums Peace (2003) for Best Instrumental, and Faith (2009) for Best New Age Album.[3] He won Songwriter of the Year twice from SESAC, a Canadian Country Music Award, and a Dove Award presented by the Gospel Music Association. Since 1997, he has hosted his own radio show, "The Jim Brickman Show", which is carried on radio stations throughout the United States.[4] Brickman has collaborated with Lady A, Johnny Mathis, Michael W. Smith, Martina McBride, Megan Hilty, Donny Osmond, Delta Goodrem, Olivia Newton-John, Carly Simon, Michael Bolton, Gerald Levert, Richie McDonald and many others.[5][6]

TO BE ADDED: Jim Brickman is an American songwriter, pianist and singer of pop music. Brickman has earned six Gold and Platinum album certifications, and is the best-selling solo pianist of our time[1] , with sales of more than 8 million albums worldwide. He is known for his pop-style solo piano compositions, and vocal collaborations with Lady A, Olivia Newton-John, Michael W. Smith, Johnny Mathis, Kenny Rogers, Leslie Odom Jr., Martina McBride, Donny Osmond, Carly Simon, John Oates, Five for Fighting, Michael Bolton, Jane Krakowski, and many others.[2] He has earned two Grammy nominations for his albums Peace (2003) for Best Instrumental, and Faith (2009) for Best New Age Album;[3] two SESAC "Songwriter of the Year" awards; a Canadian Country Music Award for Best Vocal/Instrumental Collaboration; and the Gospel Music Association's Dove Award. Brickman has amassed 24 Top Ten radio hits, 22 No. 1 Billboard “New Age Albums”[4] and is a member of the Pandora Billionaire club [5] for his songs playing on Pandora. Since 1997, as a radio host, he helmed "The Jim Brickman Show", which airs on radio stations throughout North America [6] and streams on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon. Brickman has starred in six concert specials for PBS, and an avid philanthropic ambassador for the arts.

TO BE REMOVED: His Jewish parents took him to Reform Judaism services at Suburban Temple-Kol Ami in nearby Beachwood, where Brickman was confirmed in his teens.[1]

TO BE REMOVED: ==Brickhouse Direct== Partnering with Ohio musician Rod Flauhaus, Brickman founded Brickhouse Direct (BHD) in 2003 to provide internet marketing and e-commerce solutions.[6] They specialized in promoting new acts and reinvigorating the careers of veteran musicians.[27] Brickman's younger brother Michael served as president. Brickhouse Direct also published works by saxophonist Dave Koz, comedian Anita Renfroe, singer Chris Sligh[28] and singer Mark Masri.[29][30] Brickman's own 2012 album Blessings was released on the Brickhouse Direct label.[31]

  • Explanation of Issue: Jim Brickman is referred to as Jim Brickman and should not have middle name included. The Birthdate appears under the photo and is unnecessary as part of the summary. There is current information which should replace the existing summary. Links to references are included in the version to replace. The 22 #1 New Age albums is part of Jim's accomplishments that should be included and also need to be added to the chart in the Albums section under Discography, Billboard reference link included.
  • Explanation of Issue: The reference does not refer to Jim attending Reform Judaism and should not be associated with his article.
  • Explanation of Issue: Jim Brickman no longer runs Brickhouse Direct and it should no longer be associated with him to avoid confusion about the company still existing.
  • References supporting change:[7]

Please understand this is the first time editing this page under the new method, I've done my best to follow protocol. Any help is much appreciated. PianoKeys88 (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Partial implementation of request. I added a few things related to this request, but I am not engaging in wholesale deletion as requested. I don't accept the Roland reference as definitive, as they are promoting Brickman and are not entirely independent. The Ultimate Disney website was self-published by Luke Bonanno, so basically it was a blog. The interview is, of course, Brickman talking about his works, making it a primary source. Wikipedia is built on WP:SECONDARY sources, independent of the topic. Primary sources can be used here and there to supply clarity, but not as a basis for major facts.
  • The birthdate in the infobox is redundant by design; every article should be just as informative if the infobox is removed. The infobox should repeat facts found in the article prose. Brickman's full name is a biographical fact, and it doesn't confuse anybody since the article title is Jim Brickman, and the name Jim Brickman is on top of the infobox.
  • The history of Brickman Direct is huge, with Brickman mentioning it in just about every interview from 2003 onward. There's so much about Brickman Direct in the cited sources that we would be remiss to remove it. And it remains an important part of Brickman's career history, so removing it doesn't help the reader understand the topic.
  • Regarding Jewish temple, the reference says Brickman went to temple in Beachwood at Suburban Temple-Kol Ami, and was confirmed in the Jewish faith. It doesn't say "Reformed" so I'll remove that clarification, and let the reader wonder about which type of Judaism.
  • What I added was some Gold certs, Billboard chart stuff, and some more collaboration names. I removed a Platinum claim that was unverifiable. Binksternet (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
