In June of 1957 Specialty Records releases a Percy Mayfield single - "Digging The Moonglow" and "Please Believe Me" on # 607. The record begins to sell immediately in the Midwestern markets of St. Louis and Kansas City. At this time The Moonglows record a moving version of his hit song from seven years before "Please Send Me Someone To Love" with a great lead vocal by Harvey Fuqua. The Chess release is a national hit and revives interest in Mayfield as a composer. Percy appears at Al Benson's big Christmas show at Chicago's Regal Theater. Jackie Wilson, The Five Satins, The Ravens, and Billy "The Kid" Emerson are some of the other performers. In Percy Mayfield was born in Minden, Louisiana (near Shreveport) in August of 1920. During his high school years he developed a talent for writing poetry and this led him to believe he could effectively convey this talent into popular song. To follow his dream he went first to Texas and then to Los Angeles around 1942 and as he struggled to fulfill his musical ambitions he took a number of odd jobs in order to survive financially. He was a dishwasher, a short order cook, a clothes presser, and a taxi driver, among other professions. He tried his hand as a singer with the local band of George Como. The vocal part did not lead to success but he had written a song called "Two Years Of Torture" and with it hoped to provide a successful hit for blues and jazz vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon. He went to Al Patrick's Supreme Records label in LA .... + Informações
