Johnny Adams - Only Want To Be With You

2 CDs / 30 Tracks - Includes Previously unreleased material. Renowned around his Crescent City home base as "the Tan Canary" for his extraordinary set of soulfully soaring pipes, veteran R&B vocalist Johnny Adams tackled an exceptionally wide variety of material for Rounder Records in his later years. Adams sang gospel professionally before crossing over to the secular world in 1959, scoring a number of hits produced and written by a young Dr. John. In the late '60s he moved to the SSS imprint racking up Top Ten Hits with "Reconsider Me" and "Release Me." After an unsuccessful stint with Atlantic, Adams hooked up with New Orleans wunderkind Allen Toussaint and Senator Jones that resulted in two breathtakingly soulful (and out of print) albums and regionally released singles that compromise the bulk of this compilation.Disc 1Chasing RainbowsIt's Been So LongNothing Takes The Place of YouThink About You Give Me A ChanceNight PeopleSpanish HarlemShare Your Love With MeYour Love Is All I NeedI Believe In You She's Only A Baby HerselfIt's You Baby, It's YouSelfish The Best of Luck To You Just Imagination Disc 2 I'll Never Fall In Love Again Feet The Beat, Feel The HeatAfter All The Good Is GoneRoadblock Stand By Me Who Will The Next Fool BeI Don't Wanna Cry Baby, Baby I Love You MemoriesIt Only Rains On MeIt's Got To Be Something Stay With Me and Stay In LoveI Can't Believe She Gives It All To MeLost MindI Cover The Waterfront
