Joyce Sims' Record-Breaking Career
In the 1980s, Sims graced the music scene with her R&B songs. She then had her first hit when she dropped "All and All" in 1986. Her career bloomed even more when she recorded "Come Into My Life" the following year, leading her to the US Billboard R&B Chart and the UK Singles Chart's Top 10.
According to Sims, many of her dreams came through when that album was released. In fact, she dreamed more following that success as she would reportedly eliminate homelessness and eliminate hunger if she became UK chancellor. It is rooted in her childhood life when "money was tight" for her family, but she was lucky enough to have everything they needed and receive some of the things they always wanted.

Aside from "Come Into My Life," her songs "Looking for a Love," "Walk Away," and "Lifetime Love" also made it to the UK singles chart's top 20.
Sims' other songs include "Take Caution With My Heart," "It Wasn't Easy," "A Change in You," "Love Makes a Woman," "Saving All My Love," "A New Beginning," "I Have a Feeling Too," and "I Surrender."
Her songs were sampled by renowned artists, including Randy Crawford, Snoop Dogg, and Angie Stone.
After her success in the 1990s, she seemingly lied low as her popularity slowed down slightly. Still, she continuously shared the music that she was able to perform in London this year.
