Singer-songwriter Taylor Pie (aka Susan Taylor) stars in Nobody Famous, a new documentary tracing the quick rise and ensuing success of the folk pop trio Pozo Seco Singers during the socially and politically volatile 1960s.

The film was named Best Documentary in the 2021 New Jersey Film Festival and Best Music Documentary in the Seattle Film Festival in 2022. The documentary will air on Middle Tennessee State University’s True Blue TV on Jan. 10 at 9 p.m. CT.

Pie, along with Don Williams and Lofton Kline, formed The Pozo Seco Singers in Corpus Christi, Texas. The band was a close harmony folk trio known for their recording of Michael Merchant’s “Time,” a 1966 hit on Columbia Records.

The Singers had some modest hits, breaking the top 40 twice, and had some “near” moments as well, including being offered the song “Angel of The Morning.” However, Pie rejected it because she didn’t agree with the sentiments of the lyrics. It later became a big hit for Merrilee Rush.

After the trio disbanded, Pie helped launch Williams’ acclaimed solo country career before embracing her own path.

She is a 2015 inductee into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame, and has recorded solo albums and had cuts by John Conlee, The Forrester Sisters, Mickey Gilley, The Oak Ridge Boys, Tanya Tucker, Williams, and more.

Pie is currently CEO and head of A&R for PuffBunny Records, a Texas/Tennessee-based indie folk legacy label where her music is now archived.
