Richard C - It's Hard To Make It

Very nice 80s Modern Soul dancer on a Memphis indie with Stax connections. Presumably Richard C. is Richard Carl Wilson, the writer and producer of this track, but I can't find any information about him, or about Sho-Boat Records. As for the Stax connections, Daily Planet Studios were founded by Jim Stewart and Bobby Manuel after Stax went bust in '75, and Manuel still runs the studios today. The engineer, William Brown III, had been a member of The Mad Lads and is Randy Brown's brother.
