“Who is this guy Jimmy Miller?”
If not for him, I don’t think the Stones would be in the place they are today. Because what he did is that he went to the heart and soul of where they came from. And he was so adept at milking the inner psyche of the band. And he was so clever at production. And he’s the guy I’ve always modeled myself after in terms of how to get a session going, how to make the artists really get excited about what they’re playing" Eddie Kramer

We are approaching two hundred and fifty signatures and the momentum behind Jimmy Miller is becoming impossible to ignore. Reaching this milestone shows the committee that his contributions to the history of rock are still felt today. Please encourage others who appreciate these landmark albums to add their names so we can demonstrate the full scale of this legacy.

Seeing one hundred people acknowledge the profound influence Jimmy Miller had on music confirms that his legacy remains vital. This milestone serves as a meaningful reminder that his contributions to those legendary records are still deeply valued by listeners today.

Miller produced the best LP's of the Stones and Traffics careers. Throw in his work on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man" with the Spencer Davis group and I'd say he not only deserves to be in the RRHOF but they should probably have some kind of Jimmy Miller award to give to OTHER producers as a standard of excellence.
Spencer Davis Group + Traffic + Blind Faith + Spooky Tooth + The Rolling Stones = Jimmy Miller. If you grew up in the 60's & 70's, this man produced the songs that made up the soundtrack of your youth. He is responsible for a solid 10 years of hit albums by the aforementioned bands. Give this man the recognition he deserves.
And, he was the nicest man. I knew him and his wife, Geri. I stayed with them in London when he was recording Sticky Fingers. So lucky to be at a recording session. Dave Mason lived across the hall. Great times. Mr. Jimmy died way too young.
I know producers have a more difficult time getting into the HOF, but Jimmy brought the booty to English records of the time and ushered the Stones through their Golden Period. -- Bill Janovitz, author to two books about the Rolling Stones.
Jimmy Miller's fingerprints are all over so many GREAT albums. he Belongs in the R&R HOF. I hope they do the right thing & remember him for his contributions. (And his cowbell on Honky Tonk Women!)
The best!
As instrumental to the Rolling Stones as George Martin was to the Beatles - only BETTER.

My father was a wonderful brilliant musician, writer, drummer producer and artist. The "sound" that he brought to the table are iconic. He was one of a handful of individuals, including Phil Spector and George Martin, who contributed in defining the sound of sixties and seventies rock & roll. Please recognize him
