James Arthur Edwards (18 April 1949 – 13 January 2015) was an English singer and songwriter who fronted numerous bands from the 1960s until his death in 2015. He was best known as the lead singer of the 1980s new wave band Time UK. The band featured Rick Buckler (formerly of The Jam), Danny Kustow (Tom Robinson Band), Ray Simone, and initially Martin Gordon (Sparks) on bass, who was later replaced by Nick South (associated with Yoko Ono Band, Sniff 'n' the Tears, and Steve Marriott's All Stars). Simone had also been a member of Edwards' late-seventies punk/new wave band, Masterswitch.
