James Williams (September 25, 1952) is a retired American professional wrestler. He is best known by his ring name "Gorgeous" Jimmy "Jam" Garvin and as a member of the legendary Fabulous Freebirds.
Throughout his career, Garvin competed in the Mid-Southern and Florida regions, along with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the Global Wrestling Federation (GWF), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Since his retirement from professional wrestling, Garvin has become an Airline Transport Pilot.
Early career
Garvin began his wrestling career in November 1968 at the age of 16 as Beau James. He soon took the name "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin and was given two "brothers", Terry and Ron Garvin, whom he briefly managed. He toured the Mid-Southern and Florida territories from 1978 until 1983, when he joined World Class Championship Wrestling.
World Class Championship Wrestling
He brought along his cousin Sunshine, who became his valet. As a heel, he started a feud with beloved David Von Erich which he lost and ended up spending a day with Sunshine on David's ranch, doing ranch type duties such as washing the five dogs owned by David (as he relaxes and shoots skeet right over Jimmy and Sunshine's head) and relocating several bails of hay without the use of a truck. However, towards the end of the day Jimmy "Jam" Garvin draws the line at cleaning out the old horse barn and the two go at it. He next moved on to feud with Chris Adams and he replaced Sunshine with his wife Patti under the name of Precious. Precious and Sunshine feuded and Jimmy traded the American Title with Adams until 1984, when Garvin left World Class for the American Wrestling Association (AWA). Garvin and Adams would revive their feud ten years later in the Global Wrestling Federation, but the promotion went out of business before that angle got off the ground.
American Wrestling Association
In the AWA, he formed a tag team with "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal (not to be confused with WWE wrestler William Regal, who performed in WCW was "Lord" Steven Regal) and they won the AWA World Tag Team Championship from The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) with the help of the Fabulous Freebirds (Michael P.S. Hayes, Buddy Roberts & Terry Gordy).
Williams and his wife Patti, better known as Precious have two daughters.
