 | | The same group also covered the pulsating "Shake Your Hips", which Harpo first issued in 1966, while the Pretty Things, the Yardbirds and Them featured versions of his songs in their early repertoires. | | | Influenced by Jimmy Reed, he began recording for Excello and enjoyed a string of popular RandB singles which combined a drawling vocal with incisive harmonica passages. | | | He suffered a fatal heart attack on 31 January 1970, and was buried in Mulatto Bend Cemetery, Port Allen, Louisiana. |

| | Slim Harpo: The Excello Singles Anthology - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Harpo's music is as rhythmically driven as any in the blues genre -- always the hallmark of the Rolling Stones, rock's most rhythm-driven band -- but also very laid-back, so that every song has what can be described as a shuffling or rambling gait. | | | Harpo's easy manner, his supple harp playing and occasional forays into country can be heard in Van Morrison's work with Them or the manner in which the Rolling Stones have always treated the blues (the band covered "I'm a King Bee" on their first album). | | | It is this chronological presentation -- and Hip-O's decision to include the A and B side of every single released by Harpo between 1957 and 1971, 44 tracks in all -- that make it the definitive Harpo collection (Hip-O released an outstanding The Best of Slim Harpo in 1997 that featured 16 tracks). |

| | VH1.com : Slim Harpo : Biography |
| | Harpo's first record became a double-sided R&B hit, spawning numerous follow-ups on the "King Bee" theme, but even bigger was "Rainin' in My Heart," which made the Billboard Top 40 pop charts in the summer of 1961. | | | By this time he had acquired the alias of Harmonica Slim, which he used until his first record was released. | | | It was another perfect distillation of Harpo's across-the-board appeal, and was immediately adapted by country, Cajun, and rock & roll musicians; anybody could play it and sound good doing it. |

| | Slim Harpo (1924-1970) |
| | His warm, lazy voice augmented the sexual metaphor of "I'm A King Bee," which was recorded by the Rolling Stones on their first album. | | | Harpo’s music was more adventurous, adding aspects of soul here and country there. | | | Both sang, played harmonica and guitar, but Harpo is considered the better musician. |

| | Slim Harpo-A Biographical Note by Glenn Weiser |
| | After the Rolling Stones recorded "King Bee" on their 1964 debut album, Harpo began to play for white rock audiences. | | | Born in Lobdell in West Baton Rouge Parish in 1924, he taught himself guitar and harmonica, which he played in a neck rack, as a child. | | | He started to record with psychedelic overtones in the mix, and was playing the Electric Circus and the Fillmore East by 1969. |

| | Audiocourses.co.uk - Store - The Best of Slim Harpo |
| | Harpo had it all: a bittersweet soul moan of a voice, a squealing, wounded-hound harmonica sound and a feel for mixing genres that found him picking from country, rock 'n' roll and soul, perfectly placed to be one of the funkiest, most danceable blues performers so far in the music's history. | | | Another important influence on the Stones, Harpo's debut 1957 single "I'm A King Bee's" compulsive, chicken-scratch guitar motif became an essential part of their early sound. | | | Mississippi bluesman James Isaac Moore made the bulk of his recordings at JD Miller's Crowley, Louisiana studio, accounting for the deep, swampy sound and creeping rhythms of his hit singles. |

| | In his all-too-brief life, Slim Harpo would reach the Top 40 of the Pop and R&B charts on multiple occasions, he would tour with James Brown, and his influential songs would be covered by the Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Van Morrison with Them, Hank Williams Jr, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Kinks, and many others. | | | Since the long playing albums of that era were collections of an artist’s singles, we have gathered the A and B sides of every Slim Harpo single that Excello released 1957 — 1970. | | | The sounds that emerged from that bayou recording studio were three minute music history lessons; swampy and mysterious, infectious and insistent, with elements of early rock & roll, country, and rhythm & blues. |

| | YEAR OF THE BLUES 2003 |
| | Like Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo’s music features a relaxed approach, economical harmonica playing, and catchy structure, and it has proved eminently adaptable by musicians in a variety of genres. | | | Created far from Chicago, the acknowledged epicenter of the post-war blues scene, his music was archetypical "swamp blues" — laid back, drenched in echo and reverb, and with a thick back beat that was irresistible on the dance floor. | | | Combined with excellent sound quality, the end result is a catchy and danceable single disc collection, hip (shakin') deep in the rhythms and feel of the swamp blues. |

| | Slim could be as dire, dark, and affecting as John Lee Hooker at his bleakest, just check out 'This Ain't No Place For Me'--possibly the most forlorn Blues song ever. | | | Thirty-four years after his untimely death in 1970, at least five of Harpo's songs have become dependable vehicles for countless Blues, Rock n' Roll, Cajun, and even Country bands, to cut their teeth on. | | | Born January 11, 1924 near Baton Rouge, Louisiana as James Moore, he would go on to become one of the most successful crossover acts in the history of the Blues. |

| | JR.com: Slim Harpo - The Excello Singles Anthology in Music: Swamp: |
| | The lead track, Harpo's theme song, "I'm a King Bee," from 1957, is alone worth the price of admission, and sets the stage for much of the swampy, churning music to follow. | | | The elements of Harpo's broad appeal included a genre-spanning musical approach (one hears a blend of country, rock & roll, and raucous electric blues), infectiously hooky melodies, a distinctive singing style marked by a nasal tone and careful annunciation, and Harpo's propulsive harmonica playing. | | | He proved enormously influential to the '60s British blues boom, and his songs were coveredby the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and many others. |

| | With its dark, echo-drenched groove, the song is a textbook example of the Southern "swamp blues" sound (and was subsequently covered by hundreds of artists, most notably the Rolling Stones on their first album). | | | Excello Records had only just begun to make LPs when they released SLIM HARPO SINGS RAINING IN MY HEART, a collection of the singer/harmonica player's singles, many of which had already charted by the time of the album's release in 1961. | | | Harpo's distinctive, nasal voice is a large part of his appeal, and his singing style draws equally from country & Western, rock & roll, and traditional blues vocalists. |
