Lost Night .......2007-04-16

talk about a lost night collection. This is a beauty from back in the days of early soul, late RnB, with plenty of nodding to the Drifters and Sam Cooke, but, really, is there really any need to take a shot at Janis Joplin, who not only had the good taste to revive the forgotten Garnett Mims classic "Cry Baby" but also sang the devil out of it with just as much, if not more, heart and soul as the man himself. God bless both of them.

great CD.......2005-10-09

Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters are great. Sounds alot like old Solomon Burke, same type of songs, but different voice. Great back up singers, similar to the Raylettes or the Ikettes. Every song is a winner. Once yoo hear the original version of Cry Baby, you'll never want to hear the Janis Joplin vesion again.

Best music ever recorded since the big bang.......1998-09-08

Aah yeah ..., how can one mortal soul express desperation, panic, joy and excessive beauty by means of his voice? What mechanism is triggered that singing isn't singing anymore but became sound by itself, coming from somewhere dark, deep and unknown, channeled through the physical body of a man who goes by the name of Garnet Mimms? How is it possible that my girlfriend and me (other race, other continent, other language, other generation) have goosepimples and tears in our eyes every single time we play this CD (about 500 times a year)? Because this CD contains music from the man with the most beautiful voice since the excistence of our galaxy. Cry Baby, One Girl, Wanting You, For Your Precious Love and all the other sacred songs on this peace of art are sung with such incredible intensity that it will leave everybody living or deceased with goosepimples. This CD goes through the barriers of every obstacle known to mankind. Put this on, and you've got SOUL. In my humble opinion, the deepest, the most desperate, the most sincere, the most honest, the most sacred, the soil, the earth, the core feeling that has makes live worth living on this planet. Garnet, thank you.

Excellent.......2003-08-16

Every song should have been rated in the top 20. One of the original popular appeal soul artists, it's strange Mimms never achieved the prominence of the Sam Cooke or Jerry Butler. The original "Cry Baby" definitely outshines the Janis Joplin version.

DISCOVER THIS!! from LEGENDS OF RHYTHM&BLUES SERIES (EMI).......2001-04-28

GARNET MIMMS (b 1933) should be a household name, on the order of of Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, etc. Give these ballads a bullet, already! Only "Cry Baby" hit number one, but these songs all should have charted higher. Flavors of strollin, gospel, doo woop -- " Grittier than Motown, but not as down-home as Stax," says Richie Unterberger over at allmusic.com. Listen twice, and you'll think these tunes have been in your head for 40 years. 25 huge selections, six with vocal accompaniment from The Enchanters; produced by Jerry Ragovoy & arranged by Garry Sherman or Ragovoy. Smart liner notes by Robert Pruter.

soul from the golden age.......2005-08-24

Two classic albums back to back with sleeve notes by the late and sadly-missed Dave Godin, whose typically tortured and passionate syntax graces this belated reissue. From the spinetingling 'Cry baby', to the before-its-time metrosexual 'It was easier to hurt her', the latin-tinged mariachi trumpet-laden 'Look Away' and the ripsnorting northern stomper 'Looking for You' - this is a gem of a CD. It reminds us how much Garnett Mimms meant to the early days of Soul, not least in Britain where he toured a couple of times - and how much the less famous early to mid sixties singers achieved for posterity, not to mention writers and arrangers of the calibre of Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy. More please!

This should not be forgotten.......1999-04-18

Let's hope that more artists such as Garnett Mimms have their material transferred over to compact disc; it would be a shame for music like this to be lost because their material is not widely enough known to turn a profit for record companies. This compilation covers two releases that speak not only as the individual wonders it contains, but also almost as a musical history of the artist. If you can listen to "As long as I have you" and not get chills, you have no soul. The newly remastered sound is rich and clean throughout. The packaging is kind of drab, but the liner notes are good. What really matters with this release is the material. It could come in a clear plastic bag on a plain cd, and it would still be the most colorful album I own.

Mimms, Ragovoy and Berns Knew How To Do The Best Music.......2002-08-15

With the production of Jerry Ragovoy, Garnet Mimms recorded several intense and emotional masterpieces of R&B/soul music.

Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy were responsible for the arrangements and also songwriting for the most of these songs.

Cry Baby is a remarkable recording (later covered by Janis Joplin), some other gems are: It Was Easier To Hurt Her (covered by Dusty Springfield and by Wayne Fontana), One Girl (covered by Mark Wynter), A Little Bit Of Soap (covered by The Exciters and by british singer Jimmy Justice), Look Away, Welcome Home (recorded by Dusty Springfield for her album "Where am I Going?"), Baby Don't You Weep, Anytime You Want Me, Prove It To Me, Looking For You.
In Short : if you enjoy very good R&B/soul music, this CD collecting the best of Garnet Mimms recordings is a must-have for you.
