Performer: Johnnie Taylor
Distributor: Bayside Record Dist. Notes: A nice single-album collection of Taylor's best Stax hits to that point. Until the Chronicle retrospective, this was the best bet for those who only wanted a reasonable batch of his hits. It's still worth getting, although the Chronicle CD has everything and some great liner notes as well. ~ 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.
