Earl Wright

Wright began his writing career in the heart of Memphis, home to Stax Records and the renowned Willie Mitchell. He assisted in writing hit songs.^[which?] Wright was scheduled to appear on the Memphis' own version of Band Stand, but plan was canceled as Wright was drafted into the Vietnam War and sent to training camp.

In 1974, Wright wrote "Six Nights and a Day" for Candi Staton's album, The Best of Candi Staton.^[1]

Wright later recorded and wrote two songs which became hits in the United Kingdom, "Them Love Blues" and "I Don't Know". Wright had a distinguished sound that consisted of horns and bass lines.
