Description
These 59 tracks by Roy Brown feature every one of his chart hits. Hits that made him one of the most influential R&B stars of the 1950s.
His own influence over future generations of R&B and pop singers is though far more profound. His style was a direct influence on scores of artists including such notable stars as Clyde McPhatter, Little Richard, Bobby Bland, B.B. King, Little Milton, Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Elvis Presley. To sum up Roy Brown was incredibly important in the development of African-American music.
This excellent 2CD set is littered with hits including of course the No. 1 R&B smashes, "Good Rockin Tonight", "Long about Midnight" and "Hard Luck Blues".
Another superb collection in Jasmine's ever growing Blues and R&B catalogue and yet another must have.
