A Detroit vocalist and composer, Sir Mack Rice has been involved in the R&B/soul scene since the late '50s. He was a member of the Five Scalders vocal group in 1956 and then joined the Falcons from 1957 to 1963. Rice was later road manager for the new Falcons before becoming a solo vocalist. Rice has written several selections, the most famous of which is "Mustang Sally," a number that has been recorded by many artists, including Wilson Pickett and the then Young Rascals. Rice's version reached number 15 on the R&B charts in 1965, and is the only hit he's ever enjoyed as a solo performer. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
