• From the vaults of the Imperial label comes one of the great examples of how New Orleans R&B turned into rock & roll in the ‘50s. The best Bobby Mitchell profile you ll ever need, these 26 recordings contain southern rhythm & blues, delightful doo-wop, hot rock & roll and early soul, with roaring horns and a bright production by the great Dave Bartholomew.
• Although Bobby Mitchell recorded the original version of the smash hit “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday” (later performed with great success by Fats Domino), he never got his due as either a singer or a songwriter. He also recorded “You Always Hurt the One You Love” several years before his ex-sideman, Clarence “Frogman” Henry.
• The combination of Bobby s high tenor voice — unmistakably his own, but still within the very best Clyde McPhatter & The Dominoes tradition — with New Orleans’ best session men was unbeatable. These recordings also feature a virtual who’s who of fabulous musicians from the Crescent City scene :
• Bobby Mitchell, vocals, plus: The Toppers: Lloyd Bellaire, Frank Bocage, Joseph Butler & Willie Bridges (backing vocals) and featuring : Dave Bartholomew (trumpet & arrangements), Clarence “Frogman” Henry (trombone), Lee Allen (tenor sax), Alvin “Red” Tyler (baritone sax), Justin Adams(guitar), Frank Fields, George Davis (bass), Fats Domino, Gabriel Fleming, Paul Gayten (piano), Earl Palmer, Charles “Hungry” Williams (drums), among others.
• Recorded at J&M Studio and Cosimo Recording Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, between February 1953 and October 1958. Total Time: 60:26 - 26 tracks - also includes 16-page booklet with rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia& detailed liner notes.
