Personal life
Young was born in Dangerfield, Texas, before moving to the west coast of the United States. His early recordings were possibly for Crest as a member of the Classics, but the first 45 recordings under his own name was for Original Sound in 1963. On this album, Young sings in a high register with falsetto phrases but when he moved to Macon he became influenced by Otis Redding. The song "Same Thing All Over" was cut under Redding’s supervision at Fame in Macon, Georgia.
