Guess Who: The RCA Victor Recordings

Guess Who: The RCA Victor Recordings (2004) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin

This two-CD anthology does Belvin fans and collectors a mighty favor by collecting all of his RCA recordings into one release. It includes everything from both of his albums for the label; almost a dozen songs from non-LP 45s; one track, "My Last Goodbye," that didn't come out until a posthumous 1966 LP; and both sides of a 1958 single by the ...

Blues Balladeer (1990) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin

The best of Jesse Belvin's early soul sides, dating between 1952 and 1958 (though principally done between 1952 and 1955) and originally released by Art Rupe's Specialty label and related imprints such as Recorded In Hollywood, including the Jesse & Marvin sides ("Dream Girl," and etc.).

The Class & Rendezvous Story (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Leon Rene was the principal figure in running the affiliated Class and Rendezvous labels, who recorded a good amount of early Los Angeles R&B-influenced rock'n'roll in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It's a good bet that just two of the 24 songs on this compilation will be familiar to general rock fans: Bobby Day's classic "Rockin' Robin" and B. ...

Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 50's, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

The 1950s are generally seen as the first blooming of rock & roll, but there was still an awful lot of pop music on the charts, and this set spotlights a large chunk of it. In between a breakthrough record like "Heartbreak Hotel" there was sprightly fare on either side of it, like Pee Wee King's "Slow Poke," Eddie Fisher's "Dungaree Doll," Perry ...

Mr. Easy (1959) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin

Some would argue that this album (reissued on CD in 1995) isn't really representative of Jesse Belvin's sound, coming at the very end of his life so that he couldn't follow it up and displaying a final mix that he never got to hear. But Mr. Easy is about as fine an album as any R&B singer ever cut in search of a mainstream audience and ought to be ...

Lost Male Hits of the 50's (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the middle of the rock & roll era -- when history tells us that all things Elvis ruled the airwaves -- all 18 of the tunes assembled here were very big hits on the pop charts. And pop hit records they most assuredly were and are, with nary a hint of rock & roll wildness to be found in tracks like Perry Como's "Tina Marie," and Harry Belafonte's ...

So Fine (2006) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin & the Chargers

By all rights, Jesse Belvin, with his easy rolling and amazingly expressive vocal style, not to mention his offhand but extremely compelling songwriting, should be a household name on a par with the likes of Sam Cooke or Nat King Cole (the two recording artists he most resembles), and were it not for a 1960 car accident that took his life and cut ...

Hardcore Doo-Wop: In the Hallway-Under the Street Lamp (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

This compact disc collects 25 doo wop collector's classics from a variety of small West Coast R&B labels who dabbled in the genre. The California version of the streetcorner vocal group phenomena had stronger leanings toward bluesier harmonies and vocal performances bordering on madness. As best exemplified here by groups like Arthur Lee Maye & ...

Just Jesse Belvin (1959) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin

The next-to-last album made by R&B crooner/balladeer Jesse Belvin. It's part slick pop, part soulful R&B, although his sound has more of a Nat King Cole influence than gospel. Belvin's work merged the smooth, sophisticated West Coast sound with the more earthy southern approach. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Jesse Belvin's Best (1966) more music like this

by Jesse Belvin

A good collection of '50s tracks by West Coast balladeer and light R&B vocalist Jesse Belvin. He had a silky smooth style and was a top crooner. Belvin had a huge hit in 1956, "Goodnight My Love," and another pop success in 1958, "Guess Who." He worked in the same territory as Brook Benton and was a bit removed from Billy Eckstine and Herb ...
