Mimms grew up in Philadelphia, where he sang in gospel music groups such as the Evening Stars, the Harmonizing Four, and the group with which he would record his first record (in 1953), the Norfolk Four. He returned to Philadelphia after serving in the military and formed doo-wop group The Gainors in 1958. In 1961 Mimms and Sam Bell from The Gainors left to form a new group, Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters with Zola Pearnell and Charles Boyer.
