Chicago soul duo Mel & Tim were cousins -- Mel Hardin and Tim McPherson -- who actually hailed from Holly Springs, MS, and made their way to Chicago via St. Louis. They were discovered by <a href="spotify:artist:52uMkSFt2RVO6XxTEt5VeW">Gene Chandler</a> and signed to his Bamboo label in 1969, when they scored a Top Ten pop and R&B single with the good-humored classic "Backfield in Motion." The follow-up, "Good Guys Only Win in the Movies," supplied the title for their first album and hit the R&B Top 20 later that year. Mel & Tim subsequently moved to Stax, where they landed a second Top Five R&B smash with the ballad "Starting All Over Again" (also the title track of their second album). Mel & Tim performed at the late-1972 charity concert Wattstax and were featured in the documentary film of the same name, singing "I May Not Be What You Want." Their self-titled final album appeared in 1973, after which the cousins faded away from the music scene. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
