Description
Here are the 27 finest tracks of vocalist, alto-saxophonist and bandleader, Louis Jordan (1908-1975), more than half of them chart-toppers, and making up the best single-CD selection available of this ebullient artist. Hailed as the “Father of Rhythm & Blues” and the “Grandfather of Rock ’n’ Roll”, Jordan formed his own band in 1938. The Tympany Five was a phenomenal success, notching up a still-unsurpassed record of 113 weeks at No.1 on the R&B charts! His innovative, extremely popular vocal style paved the way not only for the next generation of R&B singers but provided the direct inspiration for Bill Haley and Chuck Berry in founding Rock ’n’ Roll.
