M3 Month Throwback Thursday Edition: John Gary Williams

I love the idea of Throwback Thursday. While I've only really seen the idea on Instagram, I'm reappropriating the concept today for the blog in honor of Memphis' rich music history and Memphis Means Music Month.

Today's Throwback Thursday Memphis singer is John Gary Williams, a Stax recording artist and lead vocalist of the Mad Lads, a 1960s R&B and soul group.

In October, the Memphis Music Foundation celebrates Memphis Means Music Month (M3 Month) by inviting people to a ton of events where you can hear/learn about Memphis music. For a full list of associated events, go here and scroll down past the calendar. Throughout October, I'll be talking about past and present Memphis musicians in honor of M3 Month. I hope you find some new favorite tunes.
