"This has many duplications from the superior collection "Rock and Rollin/Million Sellers" They are the best cuts, and if you don't have that one, this is a fair substitute. It does contain Blueberry Hill (if you need it; it's hardly my favorite) and My Blue Heaven, but overall, the other collection has better "other" songs besides the many they share.No Fats collection is uninteresting; the man defined the R&B sound for a long time. He could swing and sing. Listen to a sample (or if you can find it, the relative obscurity I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday) and you'll hear his sound. But overall, it just doesn't measure up to the alternative."
