Charles Brown - Saga Blues: Cool Blues Singer '2005

Tracks list

Aroused by the success of Frank Sinatra, a new category of Black crooners
emerged in the 1940’s who set out to woo ballad fans. Alongside Nat
“King” Cole, Charles Brown was the most influential of those sepia
Sinatras. Like Cole, he was closely linked to the upwardly mobile Afro-American
community of Southern California that represented finesse and sophistication in
the eyes of Black Americans. As such, his influence was tremendous on upcoming
artists, especially Ray Charles who started out as a Charles Brown clone.
Alternating rhythm & blues, swing and ballads, this volume chronicles the
tremendous popularity of a major postwar blues figure.
