Mim Grey
Miriam "Mim" Grey is an English singer-songwriter. The former electronic dance music singer has worked with London-based DJs and producers such as Lee Cabrera (2005 single/EP, "I Watch You") and Kurtis Mantronik (2003 single/EP "How Did You Know"). Tom Jones described Grey as his "favourite singer".
In May 2010, Grey released her first solo album, Grey Matters. She has since performed with Paul McCartney and Tom Jones.
Background
Grey was born in Barnet and left school at age 15. When her parents' marriage failed, she moved in with musicians John and Paul Williams, who encouraged her to follow a career in music. After Paul Williams died of pancreatic cancer, Grey formed a partnership with lyricist Cori Josias. Her career suffered for a while as she became involved with drugs and alcohol, but after she met drummer Steve Vintner, she managed to get back on track, leading to the release of two albums.
Musical style and influences
Brought up on all types of music from Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to James Taylor and Earth, Wind & Fire, Grey claims that those artists ‘never fail to inspire’ her when it comes to writing her own material.
Bone (comics)
Bone is an independently published comic book series, written and illustrated by Jeff Smith, originally serialized in 55 irregularly released issues from 1991 to 2004.
Smith's black-and-white drawings were inspired by animated cartoons and comic strips, a notable influence being Walt Kelly's Pogo: "I was ... a big fan of Carl Barks and Pogo, so it was just natural for me to want to draw that kind of mixture of Walt Kelly and Moebius." Accordingly, the story is singularly characterized by a combination of both light-hearted comedy and dark, epic fantasy: Time has called the series "as sweeping as the Lord of the Rings cycle, but much funnier." The series was published bimonthly with some delays from June 1991 to June 2004. The series was self-published by Smith's Cartoon Books for issues #1 through #19, by Image Comics from issues #20 to #28, and back to Cartoon Books for issues #29 through #55 (the final one).
Bone has received numerous awards, among them ten Eisner Awards and eleven Harvey Awards.
Super Freak
"Super Freak" is a 1981 single produced and performed by Rick James. The song, co-written by James and Alonzo Miller, was first released on James' album Street Songs and became one of James' signature songs. It features background vocals from Motown labelmates The Temptations—in which the bass singer is James' uncle Melvin Franklin—and Canadian singer Taborah Johnson. "Freak" is a slang term for a very promiscuous girl, as described in the song's lyrics, "...a very kinky girl / The kind you don't take home to mother". Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #477 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Nine years later, MC Hammer's 1990 hit "U Can't Touch This" sampled it.
Chart performance
The song was a big hit for James in 1981, charting on the pop, R&B and dance charts in the US. On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song peaked at no. 16 in the fall of 1981 and spent 10 weeks in the top 40. Together with two other singles from Street Songs, "Give It to Me Baby" and "Ghetto Life", it spent three weeks at no. 1 on the American dance charts earlier that year.
