Nacido en Nueva Orleans (Luisiana) el 13 de febrero de 1945, King Floyd alcanzó el número 1 del R&B en la década de 1970, cuando "Groove Me" dominó la radio tanto en Estados Unidos como en el Reino Unido. Floyd empezó a cantar en las esquinas de las calles cuando era un adolescente, hasta que llegó a actuar en Bourbon Street. Tras servir dos años en el ejército, pasó gran parte de la década de 1960 viviendo en Nueva York y Los Ángeles, y en 1967 publicó su debut, King Floyd: A Man in Love. Las ventas del álbum fueron escasas y, en 1969, Floyd, con problemas de liquidez, regresó a Nueva Orleans. Allí encontró un mentor en Wardell Quezergue. Por recomendación de Quezergue, Floyd se dirigió a Mississippi en mayo de 1970 para grabar"Groove Me" en una sola toma, durante la misma sesión de grabación en la que Jean Knight grabó su propio éxito,"Mr. Big Stuff" Arraigada en una mezcla de R&B, soul y funk de Crescent City, "Groove Me" disfrutó de una inmediata difusión en la radio de Nueva Orleans, lo que le valió a King Floyd la atención de Atlantic Records. Con Atlantic distribuyendo el single a los mercados nacionales e internacionales,"Groove Me" se convirtió en un éxito de ventas de oro el mismo año en que se grabó, alcanzando el número 1 en la lista americana de R&B, el número 6 en el Billboard Hot 100 y el número 41 en Inglaterra. Otro éxito,"Baby Let Me Kiss You", alcanzó el número 29 en la lista de los 40 principales de Estados Unidos un año más tarde. think About It, de 1973, y Well Done , de 1975, no lograron el éxito comercial de Floyd, que sólo actuó esporádicamente durante el resto del siglo. Mientras tanto, su música siguió siendo defendida por otros artistas, con Shaggy sampleando"Baby Let Me Kiss You" para el exitoso single de 1995"Boombastic" y Wu-Tang sampleando su canción"Don't Leave Me Lonely" para"For Heaven's Sake" de Wu-Tang Forever Floyd se reunió más tarde con su discográfica original, Malaco Records, para su último álbum, Old Skool Fund, de 2000, y falleció el 6 de marzo de 2006 a los 61 años.
