The Falcons were an American R&B vocal group active from 1955 to 1963.

Shortly after its success Pickett embarked on a solo career. The Falcons broke up in 1963. Pickett wasn't the only one to go on to great things, as both Mack Rice and Eddie Floyd became successful singers and songwriters on the Stax record label. Pickett himself later had a hit with Rice's "Mustang Sally" in 1966.
This sixteen-song compilation (originally released in 1985) covers the Wilson Picket era of The Falcons' history. Three of these recordings (including "I Found A Love") would later find their way onto Pickett's 1965 album In The Midnight Hour.
Though the group had broken up, The Falcons name did see some use after 1963. It was taken over by The Fabulous Playboys, led by Carlis 'Sonny' Monroe. However they never had any successes to compare with "You're So Fine" or "I Found A Love".
