Jimmy Powell (born 13 October 1942) is a British former soul and rhythm and blues singer who recorded and performed throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, and is best remembered as the lead singer of Jimmy Powell & the 5 Dimensions, a group that briefly included Rod Stewart.
==Early life and career==
Powell was born in Selly Oak, Birmingham and attended Turves Green School in the city.〔( John R Woodhouse, Brum Beat: Interview with Jimmy Powell, 2008 )〕 He began singing in his teens with a local skiffle group, and then a beat group, the Jumping Jacks, before forming his own band, the Detours, around 1959.〔( The British Sound: Jimmy Powell & The Five Dimensions )〕 In 1961, he became a professional singer when he joined the Rockin' Berries. The group toured and performed in clubs in Germany, including a residency at the Star-Club in Hamburg, before returning to London where they were auditioned by producer Jack Good. Good offered Powell a solo recording contract, and Powell left the group a few months later. His first record, a cover version of Buster Brown's US rhythm and blues hit "Sugar Babe", with guitar by Big Jim Sullivan and produced by Chris Blackwell,〔 was released by Decca in 1962. It did not chart, and nor did two subsequent singles on Decca, "Tom Hark" (1962) and "Remember Then" (1963).〔〔( Profile at Black Cat Rockabilly by Steve Walker )〕 In 1963, Powell moved from Birmingham to London and starting visiting the Marquee Club, where British musicians such as Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies performed. His new manager, Malcolm Nixon, auditioned groups to act as his backing band, and offered the role to the Dimensions.
