duaneiac Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Disc 1 of 2. This is a fun and interesting compilation. There's not much in the way of informative liner notes, but among the 32 (!) tracks on this disc are recordings by Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, The Drifters, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy Witherspoon, Big Joe Turner, Wanda Jackson, Ben E. King, The Coasters, The Isley Brothers, Georgia Gibbs, Lonnie Donegan and many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure did write some great, catchy songs. Part of the fun of this compilation is hearing some of the less well known tunes they wrote. I like the fact that they wrote their own "answer songs", like "Bear Cat" (sung by Rufus Thomas) which was their response to their own "Hound Dog" and "I'll Be There" (sung by Damita Jo) which is basically "Stand By Me" complete with the same melody and similar arrangement. I also like hearing some performers included here which were unfamiliar to me like Sammy Turner, The Honey Bears, The Cheers, Young Jessie and Baby Jane & The Rockabyes. For some reason I really liked this tune. It's very much a product of it's era, but I'm kinda surprised it wasn't a hit: Edited February 3, 2018 by duaneiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon8 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (Hearing Julian Priester solo on "Noon Tide" after listening to early Sun Ra yesterday, I was reminded of the Hill-Arkestra "connections" - Chicago, John Gilmore, Victor Sproles, Priester...and Pat Patrick (below) : passing [space]ships!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax-gi9wvUdo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
