Either Way, Let's Face Facts: It's Been Too Long Since We Could Count On Those Killer Hooks From Motown Or Stax, The Tunes That Made Car Radio A Magical Thing. Sam Cooke, Donnie Hathaway, The Temptations, Otis Redding... God Bless Bonnie Floyd, A New London Resident And Transplant From The Heart Of The Deep South, Whose Effortlessly Great Pipes At Once Bring To Mind Johnny Adams And Tommy Ridgley And - Yes - The Reverend Al Green. Bonnie's Been On The Periphery Of The Southeastern Connecticut Music Scene For Years, Doing It His Way, Eliciting Warm Smiles And Clenched Fists Of Approval Anytime He Opens His Mouth To Sing Or Say Hello. You Can Always Drop In At Tony D's And See For Yourself - Or Pop In This Gem Of An Album, A Long Time In The Making And Long Overdue. Bonnie's Good People And A Monster Talent. And This CD, A Tantalizing Mix Of Re-Worked Classics And Bonnie Floyd Originals, Is Special Not Just Because He's Revisiting A Classic Sound All Too Often Overlooked These Days, But Because He Makes It New And Fresh Again. -Rick Koster, The Day; Author Of Louisiana Music And Texas Music

Artist History Mr. Bonnie Floyd was born and raised up in Selma, Alabama. Bonnie always had the natural ability to sing, but never considered being a full time singer. Until, one day walking along and singing out loud to himself, a member of the then popular group The Impossibles stopped Bonnie and ask him if he would be the lead singer of their group later to be known as The Untouchables. Bonnie accepted the offer and has been singing ever since.
