Mel Waiters (June 25, 1956 – May 28, 2015) was an American R&B singer born in San Antonio, Texas. In the early 1970s, he began singing in the church choir and nightclubs. Additionally, he was a radio DJ and entertainer on military bases around this time.^[1] In the mid 1990s, he achieved national fame with his first single "Hit It and Quit It." He gave the only copy of his new CD, the soon-to-be "Got My Whiskey," to Tommy Couch Jr. at Malaco Records in Jackson, Mississippi and was subsequently brought onto the label. ^[2]

Waiters became popular on the blues festival and touring circuit in the south, and was known for songs about partying and romance.^[3] In 1999, his fourth album "Material Things" made it to the Billboard Top 100 R&B charts. ^[4] He claimed that Teddy Pendergrass was the main influence on his singing style. Waiters was featured in a cover story of the February 2007 issue of "Living Blues" magazine, ^[5] and on May 28, 2015, Mel Waiters died of cancer. ^[6]
