Ethnicity:
James describes himself as a Black man with something of a Jewish soul.
James McBride was born on September 11, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York, United States, in the family of Andrew McBride and Ruth McBride Jordan.
James attended Oberlin College.
As an adult James eventually enjoyed dual careers as a successful musician and journalist. A jazz saxophonist and composer whose song credits include Anita Baker’s “Good Enough” on Giving You The Best That I Got, and a track on a Grover Washington Jr. release, Next Exit, named in honor of his mother’s street, McBride also wrote for the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and People magazine. For the Globe, he recounted his mother’s unique story in a 1981 tribute column for Mother’s Day, and was deluged with letters from readers. He considered turning her story into book form, but at first she would not agree to work on the project.
James is married and has three children.
