| MICKEY TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE MUSICIANS WITH WHOM HE HAS PLAYED Tyrone Davis – “I was with Tyrone Davis for thirteen years. I arranged the song “Can I Change Your Mind” for Tyrone.” Tyrone bought Mickey a new guitar when Can I Change Your Mind became a hit. Bobby Rush – “I was Bobby Rush’s band leader. I did more with him than with Tyrone. I was with Bobby for years. I still do studio stuff with Bobby.” The Jackson 5 – “I had been with the Jacksons’s in Chicago. They lived right down the street.” The Temptations – “The Way You Do the Things You Do, I used to play things like that all the time.” Chi-Lites – “I did a lot of commercially selling music with them.” Earl Hooker – “I toured around with him.” Jimmy Rogers – “I played some with him.” Howling Wolf – “I started playing with Wolf when I was 15 at Sylvia Olsen’s, Sylvia’s Lounge in Chicago. When the police came in Wolf would hide me behind the amps because I was underage.” Hubert Sumlin – “I learned to drink and smoke – when he was playing with Hubert. My uncle and Hubert and Wolf used to be around together. That is how I got hooked up with them.” Little Milton – “I played a little with him.” Z.Z. Hill – “I played with him and Vasti Jackson.” Otis Clay – “Otis Clay and I go way back. I might be on some of his records.” Jimi Hendrix – “I played with Jimmi when I was 19, before Jimmi went to England. I was in association with Jimi for a couple of years.” They did a lot of stuff up in Ohio with Ronnie Harden and the Issac Brothers. Ike and Tina Turner – “I did dances for them when they came through Greenville.” Lee Shot Williams – “I played some with him. I cut records with Lee. I did “I Like Your Style” with him. We did it at the old Chess Studio. Someone had to open it up.” |
| “I have always been a Band Leader even when I was with these people. I have been on the same bill as James Brown and all the rest. I have played at all the famous clubs. I did a lot at the Regal and Howard and all those joints. In Detroit I was at the 20 Grand and Henry’s in Detroit.” "I have been around. “I played more back then, then I do now, but I know more how to play now than I did then.” I played so much in so many different styles that I could always get the job. I never got trapped in drugs. I was scared of needles, thank God. The older musicians respected me and never did that in front of me back then. There aren’t too many I didn’t play with back in the days." |
