Jimmy Carl Black, 1938-2008

It is my sad duty to report the news that JIMMY CARL BLACK has passed away. Jimmy left this earth around 11pm Germany time on October 31st. of cancer.

Jimmy lived his life by the second, enjoying each and every bit of it ,
and still always had plenty to share with everyone he came in contact with. He enriched and inspired many many people's lives and opened so many artistic doors for the rest of us to walk through and reap the benefits.

Although tears do run down my cheeks I know Jimmy would not want us to be sad. He has said to me many times how important his fans were to him and in his last days it was his family he was most concerned with.

PLEASE visit The JCB Gift Shop and show your kind support to his family.

A fantastic benefit concert is being planned for December 7th in California, please visit this site for more up to date details. We will continue to keep you posted on the Inkanish Record Co. site as well. There is also a big benefit taking place in London on November 9th..... stay tuned for more details there too.

Jimmy's son Geronimo and myself along with many of Jimmy's dear friends intend to keep Inkanish Records alive and thriving to keep Jimmy's music and high ideals alive.
We also are going to do all we can to get Jimmy into the
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame where he has belonged for years!

GOD BLESS JIMMY CARL BLACK AND HIS FAMILY!
Jerry Ford
