Jim Kale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jim Kale (born Michael James Kale, 11 August 1943, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) was a bassist for the popular band, The Guess Who. Kale later split up with the band because of difficulties.
[edit] The Name
Kale, formerly of The Jaywalkers, owns the name "The Guess Who". He registered it when he realized it was overlooked.
Consequently if anyone, such as his former bandmate, Burton Cummings, tries to exploit the name "The Guess Who", compensation money would have to be paid to Kale.
However, previous difficulties appeared to have been resolved in 1999 when Kale re-joined the group. He remains in-situ as of 2007.
