 The great elusive King era
Submitted on: 2008-07-16 |
|
| Mostly blues, all great, small band, solo. It does include the mega-hit "Tomorrow Night" but it concentrates on deep blues. The sound is good, too. You will want more of this King Records-era Lonnie. Good luck! |

 Only one of his King hits included- What a shame

The great Lonnie Johnson who had been around performing and playing his guitar for over 20 years before signing with Syd Nathans King records in the late 40's scored only 4 R&B hits with that label between 1948 and 1950. So why is only one of those hits included on this cd titled
"The Very Best Of" ? After "Tomorrow Night' hit #1 on the R&B charts in 1948 he recorded the beautiful 'Pleasing You (As Long As I Live) and took it all the way to #2 on the R&B charts ( By the way-the beautiful "Pleasing You" is available on the King Records box set-they know how to make money don't they ? )-certainly this song is one of his best but you won't find it on this cd- why ? The following year he hit the top 10 with "So Tired'-guess what-it ain't here. Then in 1950 Lonnie hit #11 with "Confused'- again not here. Certainly you would think a compilation of an artists "Best Of' would include his most successful ie, money making recordings for that record label-but not here. Save your money and look elsewhere- just another company trying to rip you off with an highly inaccurate title. |
