THE SOUL CHILDREN

BIOGRAPHY

The Soul Children composed of John Colbert aka J. Blackfoot, Norman West (formerly from the Del-Rios), Anita Louis and Shelbra Bennet, were formed by Hayes and Porter in order to fill the gap that Sam & Dave had left after the parting from Atlantic. They came from various areas in and around Memphis.
