Mingering Mike

The legend of soi-disant soul singer Mingering Mike is well known to serious vinyl collectors and folk art fans everywhere. It goes like this: One rainy morning at a flea market, Dori Hadar came upon a collection of beautiful, hand-drawn album art—all for the same mysterious artist. Intrigued, he bought the whole crate, but not only were the albums fake, this Mingering Mike wasn’t even a real singer—instead, he was the imaginary star inside one man’s talented brain. This remarkable body of work—hundreds of pieces—is collected in Hadar’s new book, Mingering Mike: The Amazing Career of an Imaginary Soul Superstar.
