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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
