CLYDE McPHATTER – ….ROCKS – BEAR FAMILY CD

1-CD (6-plated Digipak) with 32-page booklet, 33 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 minutes.

Long overdue two-part documentary on Bear Family dedicated to one of the greatest Gospel, Rhythm & Blues, Soul and Rock & Roll singers: Clyde McPhatter (1932 – 1972).
On ‘Clyde McPhatter Rocks’ producer Nico Feuerbach has compiled the rousing up-tempo numbers, ‘The Ballads Of’ is dedicated to the great ballads of the tenor singer.
He was one of the first to fuse the harmony vocals of gospel music with the hot grooves of rhythm ‘n’ blues and is considered a pioneer of soul music and an outstanding rocker.
‘Rocks’ collects his best fast recordings from his time with Billy Ward & The Dominoes, the Drifters and from his solo career.
Detailed liner notes by music historian Bill Dahl in the extensive accompanying booklet and – as always with Bear Family – carefully restored recordings in the best possible quality
