Eugene McDaniels is respected by his peers, including such legends as Roberta Flack, Chick Corea, Phyllis Hyman, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight, Cannonball Adderley, Nancy Wilson, Ron Carter, Aretha Franklin and B.B. King. McDaniels has written for, and with, most of his peers. He has produced for such major record companies as Ode, A&M,...
In 1961 BBC radio banned McDaniels' song "100 Pounds of Clay" because it "indicated" that women were created from building materials, which the network considered to be blasphemous. A cover version by UK artist Craig Douglas was also banned but he re-recorded it with slightly different lyrics and achieved a top-ten hit.
