Eddie Floyd (born Eddie Lee Floyd, June 25, 1935,[1][2] 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».
Biography
Floyd was born in Alabama, but grew up in Detroit, Michigan.[1] He founded The Falcons, which also featured Mack Rice.[1] 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.[1]
Floyd signed on with the Memphis based Stax Records as a songwriter in 1965.[1] 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)».[1]

Defining what exactly 'soul' or sub-genres is/are is rather.....asinine, no?

battleaxed: Floyd DOES have a solid body of work. I could've mentioned not just "Big Bird", but also "Raise Your Hand" or "Knock on Wood". Comparing him with the lightweights classified as "Northern Soul" is contrary to the point of being asinine, and brings back the question about the earwax in your ears. By the way, your Top 50 artists is equivalent to my Top 400 or so artists. I have 2409 artists in my library, compared to 312 in yours. Do the math. I'm sure that you'll find as many soul artists in my Top 400 as in your Top 50.

And just what is so great about "Good Love, Bad Love"? Is it because of that Death Proof movie?
