Mel & Tim Biography
Cousins Mel Hardin and Tim McPherson were born and raised in Holly Springs, Mississippi, USA, and later moved to St. Louis, Missouri. They were signed to Gene Chandler's Bamboo label and reached the US Top 10 with "Backfield In Motion" (1969). A vibrant single, it was followed by "Good Guys Only Win In The Movies", after which Mel And Tim switched to Stax Records. The sumptuous "Starting All Over Again", later covered by Johnnie Taylor, was another major R&B hit, but further singles, including "I May Not Be What You Want" (from the movie Wattstax), had less success.
