(5 out of 5 stars)
"A great collection of obscure R&B from the early 50's including George Benson's first recording at age 11. Great, fun music, great liner notes.
From Westside, a fairly hard-to-find UK label whose releases tend to not stay in print very long. (Though these are RCA recordings, so why is this not available domestically?)
Anyway, if you can find this, or the companion Vol. 2 "The Groove Story," and are a fan of the rootsy R&B that was the immediate precursor to Rock 'n' Roll, buy it. Great googa mooga!"
