  Boney James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Oppenheim, better known as Boney James, is a smooth jazz saxophonist who popularized urban jazz (an updated version of smooth jazz that contains elements of hip-hop).
James has produced remakes of classic soul songs, such as Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing," Stevie Wonder's "Creepin'" (which had also been redone by Luther Vandross) and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine (When She's Gone)." In addition, he collaborated with trumpeter Rick Braun on an album called Shake it Up.
Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Boney James started his teen years in New Rochelle, New York, as a Motown fan, which has contributed to his "musical influence and soulful RandB style." This RandB influece was strengthened by 7 years of touring and sessions as a sideman with artists like the Isley Brothers and Morris Day.

 Frank M. Oppenheim, S.J. - Reverence for the Relations of Life: Re-Imagining Pragmatism via Josiah Royce's Interactions ...
James also responded to The World and the Individual with praise to Royce and Harvard President Elliot, but with disparaging remarks to his sons calling it "a tissue of rotten reasoning." (110) In fact James sought to overthrow Royce's argument for an Absolute, which he attends to in his Varieties.
Oppenheim succeeds in showing that the debate about pragmatism, reality and truth, and the competing claims about the converging or non-converging character of human knowledge, is a personal as well as a philosophical struggle.
Oppenheim's work on Royce reflects both a desire to respond systematically to this neglected facet of pragmatism's story, and the desire to remain philosophically bound to a community; he wanted to speak truthfully and still talk to James, to be considered one of the pragmatists.

 Bread and Roses - The Lost Histories of a Slogan and a Poem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Oppenheim's phrasing is also different and his attribution of the slogan to "women of the West" indicates that he did not think it originated with Schneiderman in New York.
Oppenheim's line, "Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew," reflects complaints that were often raised by workers and middle class reformers in the movement for a shorter work week and is relevant to most strikes of that era as well as efforts to end child labor.
The publication of Oppenheim's poem shortly before the Lawrence strike began and its circulation by other periodicals throughout 1912 demonstrates that the "bread and roses" slogan could have been used in Lawrence at some point during the strike or later rallies in support of the I.W.W. organizers whose trials continued into the fall.
