Recording information: Muscle Shoals Sound, AL; Stax Studios, Memphis; United Sounds, Detroit, MI. Johnnie Taylor continued churning out steamy wailers, creditable weepers and heartache songs, and ripping up the soul circuit in the mid-'70s. His grainy, blues- and gospel-tinged lead vocals were dynamic on uptempo tunes, and alternately poignant, anguished, prophetic, or hurt on ballads. ~ Ron Wynn
Johnnie Taylor first achieved notoriety when he joined Sam Cooke's former group, the Soul Stirrers, in 1957. Taylor's blues-based R&B records of the '60s, like his biggest hit, "Who's Makin' Love?," featured an irresistible beat and Taylor's gruff, emphatic vocals. While he never achieved the fame of Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett, Taylor stuck around long enough to enjoy a second surge in popularity with the lusty hit "Disco Lady" in 1976.
