FUGI was born as Ellington Jordan in the Los Angeles suburb of South Central to a family with seven children. Not exactly the best conditions for a successful start to life !
Nobody believed then, that an R&B Legend would emerge from this boy who was mostly concerned with himself. It was also not unusual that Fugi had his conflicts with the LAPD- Los Angeles Police Department. Here, he first heard the word Nigga ! It was typical for Fugi to be alone and sing songs for himself.
FUGI was, however, talented as a singer & songwriter and while pursuing this career he became best friends with the legendary Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations.
This friendship enabled him to move to Detroit in 1968 and start writing music for the famous Chess Records company. Detroit was the most creative R&B city at that time. Fugi became well acquainted with stars such as Muddy Waters, Howlin´ Wolf, Etta James , Donny Hathaway and even Jimmy Hendrix !
FUGI?S greatest success was his composition of the song
?I'd Rather Go Blind ? for Etta James who had a worldwide hit with it, selling eight million records and reaching the number one chart position in most countries with the original version. This song is one of the all-time R&B classics and was recorded by many famous coloured artists.
From the poorest circumstances, Fugi has become a successful artist and songwriter in spite of the many problems along the way. Fugi is convinced that only his belief in God helped him to conquer the difficult barriers in his life.
