Garnet Mimms (born Garrett Mimms, November 16, 1933) is an American singer, influential in soul music and rhythm and blues.
Mimms first achieved success as the lead singer of Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters, and is best known for the 1963 hit “Cry Baby”, later recorded by Janis Joplin. According to Steve Huey at Allmusic, his “pleading, gospel-derived intensity made him one of the earliest true soul singers.”
