Biography Eddie Floyd
Eddie Floyd (born Eddie Lee Floyd, 25 June 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.
Floyd was born in Alabama, but grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He founded
The Falcons, which also featured "Sir" Mack Rice. They were forerunners to
future Detroit vocal groups such as The Temptations and The Four Tops.
Their 1959 hit "You're So Fine" has been said by some to have been the
first true Soul song. Wilson Pickett was then recruited into the group and
sang lead on the group's next success, "I Found a Love". Pickett then
embarked on a solo career, and The Falcons disbanded.
Floyd then signed on with the Memphis based Stax Records as a songwriter
in 1965. He wrote a hit song quickly with "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
