He co-wrote the Dells biggest hit (# 10, 1968), "Stay In My Corner" & beginning in the late 60's he also was a member of The Salty Peppers which evolved into Earth, Wind & Fire, with whom he performed with until 1973.
Initially raised in Kansas but moving to Michigan as a teenager, Wade Flemons fomed an R&B group at age 15 called The Newcomers. In 1958 he was signed as a solo artist by Vee-Jay Records in Chicago and scored several hits for the label, both pop and R&B. The first of these was his own composition "Here I Stand" (1958), which was successfully revived by the Rip Chords in 1963. Flemons continued to record for Vee-Jay until 1965, with his highest peaking single (# 10 R&B, # 70 pop) being "Easy Lovin'" in 1960 and a cover of Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone To Love" (1961), which was his last solo chart hit.
Some late sixties singles still popular with the UK Northern Soul scene appeared on indie labels such as Ramsel which released Jeanette in 1968. Flemons joined fellow Vee-Jay session vocalist Maurice White in a soul group called The Salty Peppers, which by 1970 had evolved into Earth, Wind and Fire. Flemons was a member of the early incarnation of this highly successful group from 1970 until 1973, as vocalist, (electric) pianist and vibraphonist. After releasing two albums on Warner Bros, the leader of the group, Maurice White, fired most of the group in 1973, including Flemons.
Wade Flemons died of cancer at the age of 53.

on That Other Place
Woops Now [hoo oo oo]
Woops Now [hoo oo oo]
Well, I never had more than a kiss or a hug
Till I got stung by a love bug
Stung me once
Stung me twice
I says hmm that’s nice
My heart turned a flip, and it melted like ice
Woops Now [Whatsy my Daisy]
My mind’s a little hazy boy our love got crazy
And all my future plans are, just you
Spend my whole life lovin you
Woops Now [hoo oo oo]
Once I dreamed of a trip on a rocket ship
Now my only dream is of your sweet lips
Every since that kiss on the very last row
You turned me a flip and made my heart go [yeah]
Woops Now [Whatsy my Daisy]
My mind’s a little hazy boy our love got crazy
And all my future plans are, just you
Spend my whole life a lovin you
[No, no, no, no] Never felt this way before [You’re in love] Oh yeah, I really got hung
[what happened to you now?] I got hit a terrible lick by [bop] your sweet charms [do, do, do, wop]
Gonna hire me a preacher, buy me a ring, put me a lock on this magic thing
Cause a feeling like this, I never wanna miss
So, how’s about a givin me a magic kiss [hmm]
Woops Now Whatsy my Daisy
My mind’s a little hazy for our love got crazy
And all my future plans are, just you
Spend my whole life lovin you, yeah
Woops Now, Whatsy my Daisy
My mind’s a little hazy for our love got crazy
And all my future plans are, just you
Spend my whole life lovin you
