Dolores Ware / Chubby Newsome / Brown/ James - Four Great Lost & Forgotten Female R&B Singers Of The 1950S

Twenty-five tracks featuring four female R&B singers whose talent was never fully recognized. 1950s and early 1960s R&B by DOLORES WARE, HONEY BROWN, BETTY JAMES and CHUBBY NEWSOME recorded for the Mercury, Wing, Chess, Derby, Club and Winley labels. These recordings demonstrate the wealth of female talent that has since been overlooked, even lost, from the days when 78rpm shellacs were the order of the day - this package is the perfect introduction to these four singers who were popular club entertainers, whose contribution is now available for all to savour. The accompanying booklet has individual biographies of the four singers as well as photos, label scans, trade paper reviews and full musician and producer credits. This is a timely release and finally gives these singers their chance to shine once more.
