FORD FRANKIE - CD CRUISIN' WITH FRANKIE FORD

Popis - CRUISIN' WITH FRANKIE FORD:
Frankie Ford has been a great advocate of New Orleans R&B throughout his career. The Imperial recordings did yield two minor Hot 100 entries: the cover of Joe Jones' 'You Talk Too Much' (# 87 in 1960), and the cover of Boyd Bennett's 'Seventeen' (# 72 in 1961). There is much to enjoy in the other 12 Imperial sides, especially 'If You've Got Troubles' - with its Sea Cruise riff - and the stunning coupling 'They Said It Couldn't Be Done'/'A Man Only Does (What A Woman Makes Him Do)'. Then there is the previously unissued pair: 'Dedicated To Fats', a rocking tribute to Frankie's mentor Fats Domino, and 'One Hour' with its Clarence Frogman Henry/But I Do-type arrangement. The real bonuses are the productions by New Orleans genius Dave Bartholomew, and the performances of the top New Orleans R&B session men.
