Singer/songwriter Eddie Floyd founded the R&B group The Falcons who cut several hits during the 1950's including "You're So Fine" with Wilson Pickett part of this vocal group. After Pickett left for a solo career, Eddie signed on with Stax Records as a songwriter'producer working with the likes of Steve Cropper, Booker T. & The MG's, and once again rejoined with Wilson Pickett for whom he co-wrote "634-5789". Eddie's solo singing career began when he cut a demo of "Knock On Wood", a song which was originally intended for Otis Redding. The Stax production staff liked Eddie's version so much that they decided to release it, and in November of 1966, it went to #28. "I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do", was Eddie's next trip into the pop Top 40 in September of '68.. + Informações

Eddie Floyd (born Eddie Lee Floyd, June 25, 1935, Montgomery, Alabama) is a soul/R&B singer and songwriter, best known for his work on the Stax record label in the 1960s and 1970s and the song "Knock on Wood". Floyd was born in Alabama, but grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He founded The Falcons, which also featured Mack Rice. They were forerunners to future Detroit vocal groups such as The Temptations and The Four Tops. Their most successful songs included "You're So Fine" and later, when Wilson Pickett was recruited into the group as the lead singer, "I Found a Love". Pickett then embarked on a solo career, and The Falcons disbanded. Floyd signed on with the Memphis based Stax Records as a songwriter in 1965. He wrote a hit song, "Comfort Me" recorded by Carla Thomas. He then teamed with Stax's guitarist Steve Cropper to write songs for Wilson Pickett, now signed to Atlantic Records. Atlantic distributed Stax and Jerry Wexler brought Pickett down from New York to work with Booker T. & the MGs. The Pickett sessions were successful, yielding several pop and R&B hits, including the Floyd co-written "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won't Do)" and "634-5789 (Soulsville USA)". In 1966, Floyd recorded a song intended for Otis Redding. Wexler convinced Stax president Jim Stewart to release Floyd's version. The Steve Cropper/Eddie Floyd "Knock On Wood" launched Floyd's solo career, and has been cut by over a hundred different artists from David Bowie to Count Basie. It became a disco hit .... + Informações

While "Big Bird" (Stax 246) wasn't Eddie Floyd's biggest hit, that honor goes to "Knock On Wood" (Stax 194), it is number one in my heart and holds the pole position on my jukebox! Honestly , "Big Bird" is a perfect soul raver and I will take on any person who claims otherwise! Shot from the inside of the jukebox.. + Informações
