	Eddie Floyd
		ddie Floyd came aboard the good ship Stax at the behest of his friend Al Bell and immediately made himself useful as a composer for labelmates Carla Thomas, William Bell, Otis Redding (originally intended to be the recipient of "Knock on Wood"), and Atlantic's Wilson Pickett.
		Floyd's own mid-'60s output included "Raise Your Hand," which utilized the same Booker T. & the MGs-powered thrust as "Knock on Wood," and "Big Bird," written partially in shocked response to the tragic death of Redding.
		Floyd remained loyal to Stax right up to its bitter demise, his engaging vocals resulting in major hits with the gentle "I've Never Found a Girl" and a lively remake of Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me."

		Eddie: Through Steve, we were doing some shows in Canada one time and he was saying they were going to put the group together again.
		Eddie: Steve and I wrote, "Knock On Wood" and "634-5789" together (old songs that were in the new movie), and others, so it's doing a full circle.
		Eddie: We would just stay in the hotel and he'd bring his guitar and we would sit down and we'd get the idea together and he'd do the music.

		Well, by late 1981 or early 1982, Eddie was in an endorsment deal with Kramer guitars, but Dennis and the guys at Kramer had a different idea for Eddie's wammy bar.....the "Edward Van Halen Tremolo"...aka the Rockinger.
		By 1989, Kramer came out with a Sustainer model where Floyd was one of the designers of the pickup used in that model, and he also made some refinements in the tremolo unit.
		That is the story of Floyd Rose and his infamous tremolo unit,as I know it and have been told.

		Probably known more for his writing for others, Eddie Floyd was a superb soulsinger in his own right.
		Eddie Floyd had that groveling, raspy voice of the finest Southern soulsters, but he's also calm, comical and downhome funky.
		Eddie's low-key vocal, almost sounding freakishly desperate, and those wailing horns just make this a shining diamond of a song.

	B
		Written while daydreaming about superstitions, the track was originally composed with Otis Redding in mind, but Stax president Jim Stewart wasn't thrilled with wither the song, or the thought of having Redding record it.
		Floyd ended up recording the track after repeatedly bugging Stewart and once it was completed, Floyd and co-writer Steve Cropper ended up spending months trying to persuade a reluctant Stewart to release the track as a single.
		Featuring a mixture of Floyd-penned originals and outside covers, the set serves as a wonderful introduction to Floyd's gruff old-school voice.

		Coming to Stax with producer Al Bell in 1965, Eddie Floyd was destined to record in the shadows of the label's major artists like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.
		Floyd responded by opting for a more intimate rock/soul combo on Down to Earth.
		While Floyd would never again achieve the success he experienced with his 1967 hit "Knock on Wood," he remained a fine (and underacknowledged) performer, producing four charting singles with these two albums.

		Floyd Jones and his sessionmate, Jimmy Reed's lead guitarist Eddie Taylor, were both tragically underrecorded, and this is the only compact disc to feature Jones as a frontman.
		He performs the lead vocal on eight of these 16 songs, all of which have Eddie Taylor handling lead guitar duties, and Taylor takes the lead on the remaining eight songs, on which Floyd Jones plays bass.
		This is classic, tough, gritty Chicago blues, all fluid harmonica and tinkling boogie piano, and no synthetic organs or misplaced backup singers.

		Safice was mainly known as Eddie Floyd's early label, where he recorded after he left the Falcons and before he began to have releases on Stax.
		Eddie's most notable track for Safice was "Never get enough of your love" (which is on the requests page).
		Note the horn arrangement, and also note that fuzzy rock-ish guitar, which, together with something in his voice, made me wonder if BJY was a blue-eyed soul artist, although I have no information about this being the case.
