Early R'n'B / Doo-Wop / Roots / Gospel / Urban Blues

This album was a really nice surprise when I opened it and listened to it. While I really enjoy the 1950's and 1960's recordings of the Jazz Vocalists and R&B phenoms, I had never listed to Little Willie John before. He truly is in a league with Sam Cooke; what a powerful and emotive voice he has. This album has all his top hits, including my favorites of "Sleep", done in a very Doo-Wop style; "The Very Thought Of You" & "Cottage For Sale" (great interpretation of these two standards); as well as "Talk To Me", and 24 others.

Jazz / Continental Jazz / Violin

This is a welcome re-release for Grappelli fans, featuring the violinist in top form with a European rhythm section playing a mixture of standards,lesser known tunes and originals. The session took place in 1969 whilst Grappelli was semi - resident at The Paris Hilton ( from 1967 - 1972 ). At that time he was employed to play in the restaurant for the benefit of the diners.
