About The Soul Children

copied from wikipedia ...

This Memphis, Tennessee Stax Records mainstay was composed of John Colbert aka J. Blackfoot, Norman West (formerly of The Del-Rios), Anita Louis and Shelbra Bennett. The group was formed by Isaac Hayes and David Porter in order to fill the gap that Sam & Dave had left after parting from the Atlantic record label. They scored 15 R&B hits between 1968 and 1978.

'J. Blackfoot' is a nickname Colbert picked up during his early years, due to his habit of walking barefoot on the tarred sidewalks of Memphis during the hot summers. He spent six months as lead singer with a new line-up of The Bar-Kays after the original members were killed with Otis Redding in a plane crash. He then became the lead singer of the Soul Children. He launched a solo career as J. Blackfoot with the single "Taxi", which climbed into the R&B Top Ten in 1984.
