Mel Hardin and Tim McPherson Two cousins from Holly Springs, Mississippi, began by proxy all their hopes in the gospel with Welcome Travelers before being lured by the sirens of R & B. Taken
contracted in 1969 by Gene Chandler, soulman emeritus of Chicago and has just set up the Bamboo brand, Mel & Tim successful a master stroke as their first single Backfield in Motion , sold over a million copies and ranked in the Top 10 R & B and Pop 1969. Confirmed in early 1970 by the honorable achievement Good Guys Win in the Movies , this bestseller is not sufficient to resolve the financial difficulties of Bamboo and the duo expects to be relieved of its contractual obligations to try his luck in Muscle Shoals Sound Studios where Barry Beckett - a former pianist Sam McClain, with whom he discovered Muscle Shoals - and drummer Roger Hawkins entrust them with a composition of the singer "Prince" Phillip Mitchell as Sam & Dave had save nearly four years earlier. Taken
licensed by Stax where we still do not grieve the creators of Soul Man , Starting All Over Again (It all starts) appears to bode well for Mel & Tim who see their career start on a new footing, their name moved into the Top 20 Pop and fourth place rankings Soul during the summer of 1972, a preview of the album Starting All Over Again .
Their next single, I May Not Be What You Want , no lack of energy, but he reminds too Backfield Motion to keep the duo in the heights of the charts. Until the company closed its doors in Memphis in late 1975, Mel & Tim also remain faithful to their record company and their producers to Muscle Shoals, without finding a way to success reacquainted.
