Carl Sims
7" 45rpm Record
Pity A Fool / Word Is Out
Country: USA
Label: Wet Paint
Disc: VG++
Carl Sims was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1949, but is now living in Texas. In the family of four sisters and three brothers only Carl got carried away by music, mainly due to his band teacher, Mr. Harry Winfield, in Porter Junior High School. “We had a little group called The Mustangs, just a school group, in which I started singing when I was about twelve.”
In those days, however, Carl got a chance to perform before an out of ordinary audience. “I did Elvis' birthday party at a dj lounge in Memphis, Tennessee, me and Ronnie Milsap, who wasn't a big star then. He was singing Stevie Wonder stuff then. I'd met Elvis several times, but it was no big deal.
Then I got with The Bar-Kays. I was the lead singer for them, and I would travel with them at that time. When they cut `Soul Finger' (in '67), Otis Redding picked us up to be his back-up band. I opened the show for Otis Redding, 'cause Arthur Conley had left Otis and gone his way. I was with Otis when they had the plane crash (10.12. 67), and I identified all the bodies. I was on a commercial flight.
After the crash I left and went out on my own. I was just working, doing local shows, going out of town and just doing little local bands. It wasn't anything special.”
Carl had his first taste of recording not earlier than mid-70's. “My first recordings were with Wet Paint Production (on New Beale St.), with Dan Greer. I think it was about '75, '76. Some of the songs were Pity The Fool, I Know How To Love A Woman, The Do Gooders and The Word Is Out - all of them were singles.
