The son of Johnnie Taylor, Floyd Taylor alternated between mature R&B and contemporary blues material throughout his career as a recording artist and tireless performer. Born in Chicago, he came up as a background vocalist and occasional duet partner for his father, performing with him from the mid-'70s until his death in 2000. During the early 2000s, the younger Taylor recorded as a solo artist for the Malaco label, where he released the albums Legacy (2002), No Doubt (2005), and You Still Got It (2007). He went on to record All of Me (2010) for CDS and Shut Um Down (2013) for Artia. He died in 2014 at the age of 60. ~ Andy Kellman
