Joyce Sims (born August 6, 1959 in Rochester, New York) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Known for her 1980s club anthems, her biggest hit was the soul-dance ballad "Come into My Life," which was a worldwide top ten hit in early 1988. It first reached #7 in the UK, and then spread to the rest of the world.
Her debut album, Come into My Life, was largely mixed and produced by Kurtis Mantronik of old school hip hop/electro funk crew Mantronix and released on Sleeping Bag Records, which licensed it to the rest of the world.
Not having released any new material since the 1995 single "Who's Crying Now," Sims made a surprise comeback in 2006 with A New Beginning, her first album release in 17 years, which featured production by Junior Vasquez.
