Eddie Floyd joined Stax as a songwriter in 1965, where he would become one of the label's most prolific artists, penning hits for the likes of Carla Thomas, Sam & Dave and Otis Redding. The singer/songwriter scored his own hit as a solo artist a year later, with "Knock on Wood." By 1970, when he released his 6th studio album, "California Girl," Floyd was at the top of his game. This LP, whose title track hit number 11 on the R&B charts, endures as a breezy soul treat.

About Stax Records
Stax Records, now owned by Concord/Craft Recordings, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee. It rose from a small, family-operated company to become one of the most influential soul music record labels in the world, helping create “The Memphis Sound” and launching the careers of icons such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and dozens of other artists who helped change popular culture forever. In all, Stax placed 167 hit songs in the Top 100 in Pop and 243 hits in the Top 100 in R&B.
