James Moore aka Slim Harpo
 |
| 1924-1970 |
Slim's first record was produced by Jay Miller for Ernie Young's Excello Records out of Nashville. Jay claims it was his idea for Slim to have a gimmicky, nasal sounding voice. "I'm A King Bee" b/w "I Got Love If You Want It" is a good place to start.

Itchin'
James Moore, better known to the world as Slim Harpo, created the greatest works in the history of modern civilization in any medium. One of these is "Baby, Scratch My Back", presented here along with several worthy other versions, plus an unrelated but nonetheless excellent slab of limey fuzz also entitled "Scratch My Back". The Otis Redding and Booker T. versions contain some of Steve Cropper's finest moments, in my unwanted opinion.
