Jimmy Miller (March 23, 1942 – October 22, 1994) was an American record producer and musician. While he produced albums for dozens of different bands and artists, he is known primarily for his work with several key musical acts of the 1960s and 1970s.
- Jimmy Miller’s first success came with the Spencer Davis Group, which featured a young Steve Winwood. As Miller explained to Nina Antonia from Record Collector, Chris Blackwell (who was both label chief of Island Records and manager to the Spencer Davis Group) “thought it might work for me to come over and do something with Steve and the Spencer Davis Group on ‘Gimme Some Lovin.’
- That’s Miller, not Charlie Watts, drumming on “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” “I felt a rhythm figure that everyone liked, but Charlie didn’t feel it.”
- Miller is the man behind the famous cowbell in “Honky Tonk Women.” Musician Gary Wright, who knew Miller before he went over to the U.K., and later worked with him in the vastly underrated Spooky Tooth, recalls that Miller was a great producer and that “if you’d be doing something and it wasn’t quite happening, he’d go out and pick up a cowbell and go out into the studio and whole thing would turn around.”
- In 1968, he and Bill Wyman displayed some real-life heroism and we’re all the better for it. French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard was at Olympics Studio filming the Stones arranging, rehearsing and recording “Sympathy for the Devil,” for his frustrating film of the same name (originally titled One Plus One).
