Also known as Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers - Manfred Mann was
an English rock band of the 1960s. Regularly included on the charts in the 1960 - three of
the band's most successful singles, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Pretty Flamingo and Mighty
Quinn, topped the UK Singles and the US Billboard Hot 100 during the British
invasion.
Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty
Quinn) was written by Bob Dylan.
Released in 1968 it is purported that Dylan’s inspiration for the title
character actor Anthony Quinn's role as an Eskimo (I can't be certain it is politically correct to publish that word) in the 1960 movie The Savage
Innocents. Dylan has also been quoted as saying that the
song was nothing more than a simple nursery rhyme. I’ve always wondered about that so thanks for
nothing about clearing it all up…
