Jimmy Soul Clark has an extremely unique voice and tone, and is very easy to recognise. Jimmy Mack's voice sounds VERY, VERY, VERY different from Clark's. Clark has a very nasal delivery that makes his voice sound thicker and fuller than Mack. I still would bet the Palmer guy is Chicago's arranger/musician/few times singer, James Mack, until there is proof it's someone else. Listen to all Jimmy Clark's recordings. He has a much higher register than Jimmy Mack (whose voice is thinner, but deeper). No way they are the same man. Whoever thought of that did so only because both are named Jimmy, and Soulhawk was distributed by Palmer. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I have been racking my brains for some time over this and I remembered someone suggesting that it may have been Lenny Curtis (Jimmy Mac Harrison) who was in Detroit before he moved to New York and was also known to some as Jimmy Mack, but it never came up in any interviews, I think.
