LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

For the first time, we present a collection of Clyde McPhatter's first run of R&B stardom - from his string of number 1s with the Dominoes, through his innovative leading of the Drifters to another string of number ones! Clyde McPhatter and his gospel-inspired passion influenced the vocal style of practically every pop vocalist who came after - that's no exaggeration, trace the line, his ardent and admitted admirers, through Jackie Wilson, to Sam Cooke, to Otis Redding, through Johnny Ray to Elvis on down. No singer black, white or otherwise, has escaped the stylistic template laid down by the mighty Clyde!!!!!!! A colossus who took R&B into the mainstream and subverted the mainstream with a massive shot of R&B. Containing more number 1 and top 10 hits than you can shake a stick at, these are timeless classics which defined the first Rock'n'Roll era. Chock full of rare memorabilia, with detailed notes, put this on and thrill to the irresistible soaring tones of the father of R&B/Rock'n'Roll/modern pop vocals CLYDE MCPHATTER!
