Timeline
William Lee Nichols (born 1940) is an American guitarist and soul songwriter from Carrollton, Mississippi.
Nichols was one of nine children born to Laura Bell and Tom Sanders.
Sanders was a farmer who played blues guitar in his spare time.
Inspired by his father and blues musicians he heard on the radio, Nichols taught himself guitar.
Aged 14, Nichols' family moved to Springfield, Massachusetts, where Nichols played with various bands including a gospel group named The Bells of Harmony.
In 1963, Nichols joined Jimmy Vick and The Victors and recorded a single.
The group was mentioned in Billboard and got some local radio airplay but by November, the group broke up.
In 1964, Nichols moved to Detroit and stayed with his uncle.
He was hired by Motown Records where his first job was playing with Martha and the Vandellas.
In 1965 he became the musical director for Marvin Gaye.
Nichols first break as a songwriter came in 1966 when Billy Stewart took Nichols to the Chess Records in Chicago to record his song "To Love, to Love".
Becoming disenchanted with constant touring, Nichols moved to New York to lead the house band at the Crystal Ballroom.
Billy Nichols and the Soul Swingers played at the Crystal Ballroom for about three years.
At the end of the 1970s, Nichols produced two rap records: Jimmy Spicer - "The Adventures of Super Rhymes" (Dazz, 1979) and Count Coolout - "Rhythm Rap Rock" (Boss Records, 1980).
In 1971, Nichols led rehearsals on Galt MacDermot's Two Gentlemen of Verona musical play.

"Do It (Til You're Satisfied)" was recorded and released in 1974.
