King Floyd (February 13, 1945 - March 6, 2006) was a New Orleans soul singer and songwriter, best known for his Top 10 hit from 1970, "Groove Me". At first, "Groove Me" was a B-side to another Floyd song, "What Our Love Needs." New Orleans radio DJs started playing "Groove Me" and the song became a local hit. Atlantic Records picked up national distribution of "Groove Me," which topped the United States R&B chart and reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went to #41 in Britain. It sold over one million copies, and received a gold disc awarded by the R.I.A.A. in December 1970. His follow-up single, "Baby Let Me Kiss You" climbed up to number 29 on the Billboard Top 40 charts in 1971. However, his follow-up album, Think About It, failed to make a commercial impact. Atlantic released a song from the album, "Woman Don't Go Astray," as a single, which reached #3 on the R&B chart. His 1975 album, Well Done, was released through TK Records with Atlantic distributing. "I Feel Like Dynamite" from the album, written by Larry Hamilton, became a minor hit. The title track of Floyd's final album, Body English, was his last chart entry reaching #25 R&B. None of his subsequent songs achieved the same, as disco dominated the charts for the remainder of the 1970s.
