It’s the most definitive collection of 50’s oldies music ever offered with teen idols, rockabilly rebels, music legends, love songs, instrumentals and novelties.
In 1958 a Los Angeles DJ named Art Laboe coined the term “Oldies But Goodies.” Art had a great idea – why not put all the rock and roll records that teenagers really loved on one LP. That was the very first Oldies But Goodies album and it made rock and roll history. Now, Time Life offers the Ultimate Oldies But Goodies music collection. This oldies collection includes 8 Oldies But Goodies CDs plus two absolutely FREE CDs with 30 songs, totaling 10 CDs with 158 songs and a 32 page booklet.

Beginning her career in the early 1960s, three of Jackson's albums have been certified gold by the RIAA for over 500,000 copies.

Asinhell fisrt studio album, the band formed by Michael Poulsen (Volbeat), Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease) and Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy).
For more than 20 years, vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen has been spearheading Danish rock and roll machine Volbeat, releasing eight full lengths, selling millions of albums, and filling stadiums worldwide. Before fronting Volbeat, however, Poulsen formed death metal band Dominus, which recorded four fast, brutal albums in the mid ‘90s. When Poulsen was putting together songs for Volbeat’s 2021 album, Servant of the Mind, he wrote a bunch of death metal riffs and saved them on his hard drive…
Shortly after leaving Count Basie's Orchestra, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster led this quintet set for Prestige. Foster shows off the influence of John Coltrane (as opposed to his earlier cool-toned style) and matches well with the occasionally fiery trumpet of Virgil Jones, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Bob Cunningham and drummer Alan Dawson. In addition to Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz," Foster performs five originals, some of which (like "Raunchy Rita") fall into the area of funky hard bop. Spirited music.
Willis takes things a little more seriously than usual, concentrating largely on covers of material by Percy Mayfield, Howlin' Wolf, Clarence Carter, and Guitar Slim. His own contributions include "I Ain't Jivin' Baby" and "Bow-Legged Woman" (he couldn't resist the raunchy stuff entirely!).
