LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Bobby’s last recording project for Atco (three other albums of material recorded earlier were released subsequently, see below) was his homage to his hero Ray Charles, made with ace arranger Jimmie Haskell and sidemen Red Callender, Plas Johnson, Nino Tempo and Earl Palmer—no wonder Bobby said “Making this album was one of the biggest kicks of my life!” Indeed, Bobby takes to the R&B material like the natural he was, and his sheer joy in performing these songs really shines through on these 1962 record. Includes 'What’d I Say; I Got a Woman; Tell All the World About You; Tell Me How Do You Feel; My Bonnie; The Right Time' (a duet with Darlene Love); 'Hallelujah I Love Her So; Leave My Woman Alone; Ain’t That Love; Drown in My Own Tears', and 'That’s Enough'. Some nice quotes from Jimmie Haskell in the notes, too!
