THE 5 ROYALES – ROCK – BEAR FAMILY CD

With the fantastic Five Royales in our ‘Rocks’ CD series, we are introducing another significant element in the transformation of Afro-American music from gospel to R&B to soul.
Bear Family describes the path of the vocal quintet from a pure gospel group to one of the most successful rhythm ‘n’ blues formation.
From the beginnings with Apollo Records to the outstanding recordings for King – we deliver the best powerful songs from the quintet.
The energetic playing style of the guitarist Lowman Pauling, Jr. influenced later colleagues like Steve Cropper , who played a key role in shaping the Stax sound in the 60s.
Competent and carefully researched liner notes by the Chicago expert on black music, Bill Dahl , in a richly illustrated booklet – 6-page digipak.
