Jimmy Carl Black (February 1, 1938 – November 1, 2008), born James Carl Inkanish, Jr., was a drummer and vocalist for The Mothers of Invention. ==Career: 1960s–1990s== Born in El Paso, Texas, Black was of mixed Native American heritage. His trademark line was "Hi Boys and Girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black, and I'm the Indian of the group." The line can be heard several times on the Mothers of Invention album ''We're Only in It for the Money'' (for example, on the tracks "Are You Hung Up?" and "Concentration Moon"). He was also addressed as such by Theodore Bikel in the film ''200 Motels''. He has been credited on some Mothers albums as playing "drums, vocals, and poverty".〔 He appeared in the movie directed by Frank Zappa, ''200 Motels'', and sings the song "Lonesome Cowboy Burt". Black also made a few more appearances with Zappa in 1975 and 1980,〔 and also appeared as guest vocalist on "Harder Than Your Husband" on the Zappa album ''You Are What You Is'' (1981). The same year, 1981, he performed the very same song at the discothèque Aladdin, Oasen, Bergen, Norway, as part of The Grandmothers, after their release ''Grandmothers'' (1980), an anthology of previously unreleased recordings by ex-members of the Mothers of Invention.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Eil.com )〕 Jimmy Carl Black on Frank Zappa: In 1972, he played with Geronimo Black, the band he founded with Mothers wind player Bunk Gardner.〔 In the summer of 1975 he played drums for Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band under the stage name Indian Ink, notably at the band's appearance at the Knebworth Festival. In the eighties Jimmy and Bunk and Don Preston performed under the name "The Grandmothers" along with a bunch of other ex-Zappa musicians, but the band soon disbanded. Then Jimmy moved to Austin, Texas, where he met English singer Arthur Brown. The duo recorded an album of classic R&B songs, ''Black, Brown and Blue'', and performed live together. In 1993 Jimmy moved to Europe, where he reformed The Grandmothers with original members Don and Bunk and with Dutch bass player Ener Bladezipper (stagename of René Mesritz) and Italian guitar player Sandro Oliva.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jimmy Carl Black」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
