Artist Bio:
Mel And Tim were an American soul duo composed of cousins Mel Hardin and Tim McPherson. They were originally from Holly Springs, Mississippi, and began their music career in the mid-1960s. The duo signed with Stax Records and released their debut album, "Good Guys Only Win In The Movies," in 1969, which featured their hit single "Backfield In Motion." Mel And Tim continued to record music throughout the 1970s, but never quite replicated the success of their debut. Despite their relatively short-lived time in the spotlight, they are remembered for their smooth harmonies and soulful sound.
