About Jim Kale
Michael James Kale, born August 11, 1943, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is the bassist for the popular band, The Guess Who. Kale left the band in 1973, after the Live at the Paramount album, when his drug use interfered with his ability to perform. He was replaced by Bill Wallace, formerly of Winnipeg band Brother. Kale was initially part of the Guess Who reunion that started in 1999, but had to leave, once again, due to substance abuse issues. He was temporarily replaced by Bill Wallace once again until his return in 2001. As of November 2004, Kale has been back touring with The Guess Who.
