Song of the Day # 90 - The Mighty Hannibal

 
Clearly somebody worth investigating. It's Black Lips week with me and they helped me find my way here. Sadly, the Mighty H died recently.
 
'The Mighty Hannibal, real name James T Shaw, is my mentor. He's an amazing soul singer from Atlanta, and in the 1960s, he was a contemporary of James Brown. His peers gained a commercial success which Hannibal never did and I'm trying to bring him to England because I know he would be so well received if he played shows here. His advice to me has been life saving. Hannibal warned me about the sharks that are out there in this business, warned me about what happened to him and how to avoid making the mistakes he did. ' Jared Swilley (The Black Lips)
