Chanteur Rockabilly US né William M. Mizell, le 9
Novembre 1923 à Dayton
Beach (Floride). Hank Mizell a enregistré
à la fin des années cinquante chez Eko Records. Il réussit l'exploit involontaire de se classer en tête des charts Anglais en 1976 à l'age de 51 ans avec un titre de 1957: "Jungle Rock".
Hank Mizell est décédé le 23 Décembre 1992 à Murfreesboro (Tennessee).
Born
William M. Mizell in Dayton Beach, Florida, USA. Mizell was a minor rockabilly
artist best known for the 1957 recording ‘Jungle Rock’. He served in the US Navy
in 1947, and upon his discharge began both singing and preaching. In the early
50s he and his five-piece country band went to Montgomery, Alabama, to record. A
disc jockey there nicknamed him Hank after the recently deceased
Hank Williams, and the name stuck. In
1957, working with guitarist Jim Bobo, drummer Bill Collins and pianist Eddie
Boyd in Chicago, Mizell recorded ‘Jungle Rock’ for the local EKO label. King
Records picked up distribution, but the record did not sell, and Mizell gave up
performing professionally. He became a preacher and moved between Chicago,
Mississippi and Nashville for the next few years. Although several country
singles were recorded in the 60s and 70s, Mizell remained virtually unknown
until 1976, when rockabilly collectors in Europe discovered the King single.
‘Jungle Rock’ transcended cult credibility to reach the UK Top 10, and prompted
Charly Records to release other rediscovered Mizell recordings. Mizell made a
few other rockabilly and country recordings in the 80s, but remained unknown
outside of hardcore rockabilly circles.
