eddie floyd

Eddie Floyd found early success as a member of vocal harmony group The Falcons scoring hits with "You're So Fine" and, with Wilson Pickett on lead vocals, "I Found A Love". As a songwriter at Stax, he wrote material for Carla Thomas, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Johnnie Taylor and many others. Floyd was also a hitmaker in his own right and his greatest moment on record came with the 1966 release, "Knock On Wood", a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

Thanks for the kind words Ms. Collins, and apologies for the lack of any biographical detail. I'll edit the post immediately!
