In the late 1950s and early 1960s R&B stood for rhythm and blues - a term associated with some of the most joyous and vibrant popular music ever made. More diverse than the blues, R&B was basically the forerunner of Soul music, and the black equivalent of rock n roll: instrumentally energetic, with superb vocals delivered by heartfelt voices that had (mostly) learned to sing in gospel choirs. This 40-track compilation is a combination of well-known hits and real obscurities, but it s all solidly good stuff. All in all, you ll certainly find more than enough in this compilation to set those good times rolling again. DISC 1 1. El Pauling And Royal Abbit - Come On Let's Have A Good Time 2.
