A Man Called Adam (sometimes abbreviated to AMCA) are an Ibiza-based British dance music group comprising Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones. The group began as a jazz collective in the mid-1980s, signing to the Acid Jazz label. By 1990 the original group had split up and Rodgers and Jones signed to Big Life, which released their breakthrough single "Barefoot in the Head". They went on to release three albums, The Apple (1991), Duende (1998) and All My Favourite... (2004). Their most famous singles include "I Want to Know" and "Easter Song". Another popular track, "Estelle" has appeared on many compilations though it was never released as a single. Unusually for a group known for electronic dance music, they released an acoustic version of their most popular track "Barefoot In The Head" in 2004 which quickly came to rival the original dance version in popularity. [citation needed] They have also produced a number of remixes for other artists.

Paul Daley of the group Leftfield (who, like AMCA, were pioneers of the chill out music genre) was once a member of the group and appears on their early Acid Jazz singles.
