The 1960s handed our world a very rare gift – a gift of some of the most talented R&B artists of our time. These brothers and sisters of “soul” led the way – paved the way – for future talented artists of today. The deep soul renditions of their “mainstream” songs – the soulful sounds we came to love – were born – some from gospel roots to “street corner” harmony -- building the foundation of this nation’s beloved “Rhythm & Blues.”

Enter the handsome, talented Winfield Parker. Winfield’s career began in Baltimore, Maryland, as one of the nation’s most successful, talented R&B artists, producing an enormous following of dedicated fans. Always in demand for live concert appearances, Winfield Parker traveled throughout the world, delivering his unique style of soulful R&B to sell-out crowds in every major city. Winfield’s highly impressive recording discography includes top-notch issues on premier record labels – beginning his career with Mr. Rufus Mitchell, then owner of the now highly collectible Ru-Jac label (one of the nation’s first African-American owned record labels), plus Spring, Wand, Calla, ATCO, GSF, P&L and Arctic. Winfield Parker was a star on the “top of the charts” – appearing with such talent as The Temptations, James Brown, Etta James, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, Four Tops, and Carla Thomas. And these are just a few.

Today, the recordings of Winfield Parker remain highly in demand -- prized possessions to collectors of rare soul music. Winfield continues to tour in concert today. Log on to www.myspace.com/winfieldparker for Winfield’s tour and concert appearances in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.
