About the artist
The Charmels were a Memphis, Tennessee all-female vocal group - Mary Hunt, Mildred Pratcher, Eula Jean Rivers and Barbara McCoy - formed out of the earlier Tonettes, recording for Stax's Volt subsidiary from 1966 to 1968 with Isaac Hayes and David Porter writing and producing. "Please Uncle Sam (Send Back My Man)" b/w "Something Sweet About My Baby" (both Hayes-Porter songs) was issued in 1966 as Volt 45-142. None of their four singles charted; the group is now best known because Wu-Tang Clan sampled their "As Long As I've Got You" in 1994. [Source: Stax Records official site; Discogs]
