Bill Brandon - "The Streets Got My Lady"


Bill Brandon began his musical career recording for small local labels such as Tower and Quinvy most notably with his version of the Dan Penn song 'Rainbow Road'.

He later signed up with Sam Dees' Moonsong/Piedmont label in the late 60's.

He also acted as an in-house songwriter of Sam Dees' production team and penned the hit song 'Stop This Merry Go Round' for John Edwards and recorded ballads like I'm A Believer Now and Tag, Tag.

Funky tunes such as "Stop This Merry Go Round" and "Let Me Be Your Full Time Groover" (with Lorraine Johnson), "The Streets Got My Lady" and "Whatever I Am I'm Yours."
In 1977, left Sam Dees' label and went to record an album for Prelude entitled Bill Brandon written and produced by Moses Dillard and Jesse Boyce. The album spawned two singles. 

"We Fell In Love While Dancing" became his only hit.

Bill is now said to be running a club in the South.
