James Inkanish, Jr. (February 1, 1938 – November 1, 2008), known professionally as Jimmy Carl Black, was a drummer and vocalist for the Mothers of Invention.
Born in El Paso, Texas, Black was of mixed American Indian descent through both his father and his mother. 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’s album We’re Only in It for the Money (for example, on the tracks “Are You Hung Up?“ and “Concentration Moon“). The line can also be heard in Haskell Wexler’s 1969 movie Medium Cool, which uses several songs by Zappa and the Mothers. Black 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“.
Black 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,[1] 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.
Jimmy Carl Black on Frank Zappa:
I would have told him that I appreciated his friendship through the years and that I had learned a lot from him. I really loved Frank like you do a brother.
In 1972, Black 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 Black and Gardner and Don Preston performed under the name “The Grandmothers“ along with several other ex-Zappa musicians, but the band soon broke up. Black then 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.
Black moved to Italy in 1992 and then to Germany in 1995, where he reformed The Grandmothers with original members Preston and Gardner and with Dutch bass player Ener Bladezipper (stagename of René Mesritz) and Italian guitar player Sandro Oliva.
