Buddy Lucas & His Band of Tomorrow - Rockin Boppin & Hoppin 1951-1962

This Buddy Lucas compilation is another instalment in Jasmine's series devoted to the honking r&b sax blasters of the early 1950s to 60s. Buddy was one of the most in-demand session players in New York and was also a successful vocalist, songwriter and producer who kept his career alive well into the late 1970s. Includes his hit single "7-11" which was a version of Perez Prado's "Mambo No. 5". Also across this set you'll hear some of the recordings he made for Jubilee, Today's Records, Gone, RCA and Groove amongst others.
