This great value 115-track 4-CD anthology includes, with the exception of certain records which are unavailable for inclusion due to copyright restrictions, just about every record which peaked in the Billboard R\u0026amp;B Top 15 during that year. By this time, the R\u0026amp;B scene had evolved considerably as the rock 'n roll scene had matured and Tin Pan Alley had marketed it's teen-oriented offshoots, and there was an exciting feel to the charts, with substantial crossover of pop artists into the R\u0026amp;B chart and vice versa, with artists like Jackie Wilson, The Drifters, Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. The big chart winner of the year was Brook Benton, with three No. 1s and 23 weeks at the top, fourteen of those with Dinah Washington. With the blurring of the boundaries between the genres, the more traditional blues and R\u0026amp;B artists whose music had helped lay the groundwork for rock found it harder to reach the top positions. However, there was still a solid representation of old school blues artists like B.B. King and Jimmy Reed, and top class R\u0026amp;B singers like Etta James, Bobby Bland and James Brown formed the core of the chart, as well as the first chart incursions from the Motown stable by Barrett Strong and Marv Johnson. As with all these collections, it provides a window onto a dynamic and exciting musical environment, and includes a number of unfamiliar names and recordings of which even enthusiasts of the genre may not be too aware, and which will be welcome additions to their collections. It contains a 12,000+ word booklet featuring background notes on every record.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLloyd Price - Won'tcha Come Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Black's Combo - Smokie (Part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClyde McPhatter - Let's Try Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreddy Cannon - Way Down Yonder in New Orleans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrankie Avalon - Why\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDee Clark - How About That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnie Francis - Among My Souvenirs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Anka - It's Time to Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDella Reese - Not One Minute More 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLloyd Price - Lady Luck 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinah Washington ; Brook Benton - Baby (You've Got What It Takes) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby \"Blue\" Bland - I'll Take Care of You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny Preston - Running Bear 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosco Gordon - Just a Little Bit 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB.
