Lionel Hampton - Jukebox Hits

Most of the performers on this collection have never had their biggest hits compiled in one place, and for many years the likes of Count Basie and Duke Ellington were considered above the vulgarity of "hit records," but these collections will feature all the 78's they made that were money spinners on Jukeboxes across the world. This is the second entry in a new series that will offer the American Juke Box, Harlem Hit Parade, Race Record, R&B chart hits by a selection of the biggest stars of the 1940's and 1950's swing, jazz, jump blues and R&B scenes.
