1953

Carl Carlton (born May 21, 1953) is an American R&B, soul, and funk singer-songwriter, best known for his hits "Everlasting Love" and "She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)".

1960

Carlton was birthed in Detroit, Michigan, and began his career in the mid-1960s as "Little Carl" Carlton.

It was a marketing ploy to capitalize on some vocal similarities to Stevie Wonder, who recorded under the name "Little Stevie Wonder" in the early 1960s.

His first recordings were for Lando Records, for which he recorded some minor local hits, including "So What" and "Don't You Need a Boy Like Me".

1968

In 1968, Don D. Robey signed Carlton to the Back Beat Record label, which Robey had started in 1957.

Shortly after signing with the label, Carlton relocated to Houston, Texas, to be closer to his new label.

His first single with Back Beat Records, "Competition Ain't Nothing" became a huge hit on the UK northern soul scene after its release on the UK Action label.

1970

Carlton was listed as one of the Cash Box Best R&B Artists of 1970 in the December 26 issue of the magazine.

1971

In January 1971, Carlton had a hit on the Billboard Best Selling Soul Singles chart with "I Can Feel It".

It spent three weeks in the chart, peaking at no. 47.

Carlton finally saw major success in the United States with a cover version of Robert Knight's "Everlasting Love".

1976

Beginning in 1976, Carlton became embroiled in a royalty dispute with ABC Records that caused him to stop recording for some time.

1977

Carlton was unable to land a new recording contract for several years until Leon Haywood helped him get a singles deal with 20th Century Records.

A Haywood-penned single, "She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)", became a major hit, peaking at number 2 on the soul chart and earning Carlton a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male in 1982.

The track peaked at number 34 in the UK Singles Chart.

1985

After 1985's Private Property, he did not release another album until 1994's Main Event, which also failed to chart.
