Various Artists - Remembering Roots of Soul 1: Heralding Hits / Various - CD

Full title: Remembering Roots of Soul: Heralding the Hits. Jeffrey Kruger was a prime mover in introducing the UK to the joys of R&B, Doo Wop, Vocal Groups through his pioneering licensing and acquisition of US labels in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The recordings were then issued through his Ember International group from the late 1950's onwards. For Volume One in this series, the focus is on the US Herald and Ember labels which acts as a microcosm of the whole thesis. Between 1953 and 1963 these labels scored a number of R&B hits, crossover Pop hits and provided the launch pad for artists to take off into Soul during the '60s. 50 tracks. Shout. 2009.
