Often credited as having cut the first true soul record in 1959 with "You're So Fine," a host of '60s soul stars called themselves Falcons at one time or another, including founder <a href="spotify:artist:6Bfy6QzadCXS92y0T8dDZF">Eddie Floyd</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0N5PyKJzS3M1XNlaCL7bbE">Wilson Pickett</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5ZAdhQ0HJFv85oFNgrkCpi">Sir Mack Rice</a>, and 100 Proof Aged in Soul's <a href="spotify:artist:1joRsnE28NscCssZHZuq6D">Joe Stubbs</a>. Originally an integrated R&B group headed by <a href="spotify:artist:6Bfy6QzadCXS92y0T8dDZF">Floyd</a>, the Falcons debuted on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mercury%22">Mercury</a> in 1955. Under the production aegis of Robert West, the Falcons' sound became more gospel-based as time passed, and with <a href="spotify:artist:1joRsnE28NscCssZHZuq6D">Stubbs</a> as lead, the seminal "You're So Fine" was a major hit in 1959. <a href="spotify:artist:0N5PyKJzS3M1XNlaCL7bbE">Pickett</a> screamed the gospel-fired ballad "I Found a Love" to national prominence on West's LuPine label in 1962, backed by guitarist Robert Ward's Ohio Untouchables. When <a href="spotify:artist:0N5PyKJzS3M1XNlaCL7bbE">Pickett</a> went solo shortly thereafter, the members went their separate ways. West recruited another group, the Fabulous Playboys, who took over the Falcons name, but with little success. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi
