Big Daddy Simpson "Give Me Back My Ring"
Share
Big Daddy Simpson was one of Gary, Indiana’s most uncompromising blues voices. Born Marcella (later Marcellus) Simpson in Mississippi in 1926, he sang and played guitar with a throaty, aggressive style that embodied the Chicago bar-band sound of the mid-1960s. Backed by his son Melvin Simpson on bass and local harp player Middle Walter, Big Daddy cut two gritty singles for M-Pac! in 1965—“You Don’t Believe a Word I Say” b/w “What Can I Do” and “Give Me Back My Ring” b/w “Let Your Hair Down Baby.”
Though they didn’t chart, these records became cult favorites, their raw power outlasting their era.
If you want a different vibe (more minimal, more editorial, or social-media style), I can tweak the divider style too.
