The Falcons, formed in 1955 in Detroit, Michigan, were pioneers in rhythm and blues, laying the groundwork for the soul music movement. Their gospel-infused sound produced timeless hits like "You're So Fine" (1959) and "I Found a Love" (1962). The group served as a launching pad for future soul legends, including Wilson Pickett and Eddie Floyd. Their innovative blend of R&B and gospel continues to influence artists, cementing their legacy in American music history.
