Johnnie Taylor

Arkansas

During a recording career that spanned nearly half a century, Johnnie Taylor covered more genres of African-American music than any other major artist.

He signed with Stax Records in 1966, with his biggest seller coming in 1976 with “Disco Lady,’ which topped both the pop and R&B charts and became the 1st-ever single in recording history to be certified platinum.
