Mel Carter was around on the recording scene for quite a long time, not a bad effort for a guy who started out singing around the late 50's.
His 1st record escaped in 1961 and from then he worked with the likes of Clydie King, Sam Cooke, O V Wright, Don Robey & H B Barnum back in the 60's.
He secured deals with the likes of Mercury / Phillips, Imperial, Liberty & Bell before hooking up with other labels in later years [[he had a deal with Henry Stone's Cat label in 73). In 1980 he was with Cream Records and then spent 3 years or so with Airwave for whom he cut the popular "Love Test".
What can the knowledgeable folk on here [[Robb K, etc) tell me about the guy ??
"Deed I Do" his 1st outing for Imperial [[1964) is typical of his 60's output ....
