This 16 track LP comprises the best of his releases under his own name. Johnny Ace lived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle some years before the true birth of rock 'n' roll. By all accounts, it was to be the death of him, too. Perhaps surprisingly for the son of a preacher man, he was a notorious philanderer, with a fascination for guns, prone to violent, drunken outbursts. He was an absentee husband and father, dishonourably discharged from the United States Navy, and banned from his parents home for playing the blues - a real prototype of a rock 'n' roll bad boy. Yet it cannot be denied the man born John Alexander was destined for musical greatness. He was a gifted pianist, songwriter, and soulful R \u0026amp;B singer who enjoyed two short years in the limelight, scoring several No. 1 hits, and recording and performing with some of the most esteemed R\u0026amp;B artists of the time. That it would all come to a bloody end on Christmas Day 1954, at the dawning of the rock 'n' roll era, just adds to his mystique and the legend of Johnny Ace. This 16 track LP comprises the best of his releases under his own name on the Flair and Duke labels. It features all his eight Top 10 R\u0026amp;B hits, including the No.1s \"My Song\", \"The Clock\" and \"Pledging My Love\" and the Top 3 hits \"Cross My Heart\" and \"Saving My Love For You\", along with Johnny Moore \u0026amp; The Three Blazers'.

Born in Staten Island, NYC, in 1941 of Mexican and Scottish decent, she moved around the country with her parents - her scientist father worked for UNESCO - and embraced many social causes. She encountered Pete Seeger in her early teens, and was inspired by his style of music, and when her father took a position at MIT in Boston in 1958, she became heavily involved in the folk scene there, giving her first concerts that year. In 1959, with two other folk enthusiasts, she recorded a number of songs in a friend's cellar, and that became the album \"Folk Singers Round Harvard Square\", from which all the titles featuring Joan are included here. She was invited to perform at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival\" which led to her signing with Vanguard Records, and her first two albums for Vanguard from 1960 and 1961, \"Joan Baez\" and \"Joan Baez Vol. 2\", which comprise the rest of this collection.

Despite the fact that his career was curtailed in 1963 by a fatal heart attack when he was only 45, Elmore James was an extremely influential figure in the development of blues guitar, both by virtue of his highly distinctive sound, which he consciously developed by building his own combination of a modified hollow-bodied guitar and custom pick-ups, but also his hit with a version of Robert Johnson's \"Dust My Broom\", which has become one of the most ubiquitously performed and recorded tunes in blues. This rocking 16 track LP majors in on his finest releases throughout his short career from the iconic \"Dust My Broom\" in 1951 through to \"Stanger Blues\", released just a few months before his death.

Bo Diddley was the foremost bridge between blues and rock 'n' roll, facilitated in no small part by his \"Bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp\" sound, the famous \"Bo Diddley beat\". He was a master of invention too, inventing his name, his persona and style, and his own guitar. Put simply, he was one of those artists whose importance and influence as a pioneer of popular music far outweighed the commercial and chart success he enjoyed during his career. With just nine U.S. R\u0026amp;B and two Pop chart successes across a career spanning five decades, Diddley was not exactly a hit-making machine. But his legacy is such that echoes of his music pervade rock, pop and hip-hop to this day. This LP revels in Diddley's guitar genius and features 16 of his greatest and most iconic tracks including \"I'm A Man\", \"Diddley Daddy\", \"Pretty Thing\", \"Mona\", \"Say Man\" and \"Road Runner\". Once he had scored his first No.1 with \"Bo Diddley\" the shape of popular music changed forever. His influence is clear to see, through some of the work of artists, - and Diddley devotees - like Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Otis, Cliff Richard, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, U2, and George Michael. Every time a song uses the \"Bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp\" motif, Diddley's legacy lives on.","brand":"Acrobat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46360328503379,"sku":"2722351X","price":23.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/Image-Coming-Soon_d30b7d78-57cc-4914-8210-5a1b232b62de.png?v=1789729898"},{"product_id":"the-go-katz-will-survive-762765413883","title":"The Go Katz Will Survive","description":"","brand":"Acrobat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50440674279507,"sku":"2831514X","price":17.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4526098.jpg?v=1790319144"},{"product_id":"bob-crosby-s-bobcats-824046517823","title":"Bob Crosby's Bobcats","description":"This release in Acrobat's \"Small Band\" series features Bing's brother Bob, who led a famous and very popular big band during the genre heyday.
