Obscure 70s work from the great Ruth Brown – best known for her postwar R&B work on Atlantic Records, but heard here on two rare sets from the 70s!

Les Brown And His Band Of Renown, led by saxophonist Les Brown, were a fixture on the US popular music and broadcasting landscape for more than half a century following its inception in 1938, and during a golden first fifteen years or so racked up 26 US pop hits, most famously introducing Doris Day to the chart scene as his featured singer during the 1940s.

"Soul Brother Number One," "The Godfather of Soul," "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" – those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other musicians were so influential over the course of popular music. And no other musician put on a more exciting, exhilarating stage show

Although he is most famous for his innovations in soul and funk music, James Brown never lost sight of his blues and R&B roots. His albums often placed surprisingly rootsy covers of old chestnuts alongside his groundbreaking polyrhythmic workouts.

Although they’ve enjoyed commercial success with fine country singles like “Toes,” "Whatever It Is," and the infectious, laid-back classic anthem “Chicken Fried,” the Zac Brown Band are really all about their live shows, and this three-disc set (two discs of music plus a DVD) captures the reverent, communal feel of the band’s performances.

♪ Na língua iorubá, xirê significa dança, brincadeira e alegria. Xirê designa ainda a festa do Candomblé com saudações aos orixás. No dicionário de Carlinhos Brown, xirê também é Carnaval. Daí o título do álbum Pop xirê, lançado pelo artista baiano na quinta-feira, 16 de fevereiro, véspera da folia, via Candyall Music, com 13 músicas autorais compostas em português, espanhol e iorubá. No Carnaval de Brown, Pop xirê é disco que saúda tanto o timbau – instrumento de percussão com que o tribalista pôs a Timbalada na roda no Carnaval de 1991 – quanto os orixás, pedindo passagem para a alegria.
