CD - VA - Lovin' Time Blues - Great Jump And R&B Duets

Lovin’ Time Blues – Great Jump & R&B Duets

The Boy/Girl R&B Duet Reached Its Commercial Zenith In The Mid To Late 1950s When Acts Such As Gene & Eunice, Shirley & Lee And Billy & Lillie Enjoyed National Chart Hits, But The Way Had Been Paved By The Earlier Success Of The Likes Of Esther & Mel With Johnny Otis' Band And Little Willie & Little Lora. This Cd Explores Those Pioneering Recordings Which, With Little Likelihood Of A National Crossover Hit, Would Often Deal With The Same Subjects As Their Rock 'N' Roll Counterparts But In A Much More Gritty And Honest Way.
