1	Capitol Collectors Series (1956) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from $3.30! new only from $9.99!
2	Cruisin' 1959 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $8.21!
3	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist Louis Prima had been leading orchestras for 25 years when, in 1954, he finally got something that turned out to be the biggest break of his career: a late-night lounge act at the Sahara Hotel. It certainly wasn't a coveted gig, but it soon became the hottest ticket in town, with a dynamite stage show that featured Prima, the combination fireplug ... see all copies from $4.83! new only from $4.83!
4	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
5	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from $36.92! new only from $36.92!
6	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $86.60! new only from $86.60!
7	Cosimo Matassa Story (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although he's far from a household name, it's hard to imagine the existence of New Orleans R&B without Cosimo Matassa. As owner and engineer at J&M Studios, housed in a reworked grocery store on Rampart Street, Matassa saw the birth of R&B, rock & roll, and soul pass through his doors between 1945 and 1956, and he was responsible for the early ... see all copies from $38.63! new only from $38.63!
8	I Wish You Love (1957) more music like this by Keely Smith add to wishlist Although known primarily as one-time partner and wife to Louis Prima (vocals), Keely Smith (vocals) also had a measurable amount of success on her own. I Wish You Love was not only the title of her debut long-player, it quickly became one of her signature pieces as well. By the end of the 1950s, the team of Prima and Smith were among the hottest ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.55!
9	The Wildest! [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
10	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 15: Wild Cool & Swingin' Too (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $8.54! new only from $8.54!

Since these are the original versions released on King Records, this sampler is highly recommended for fans of uptempo organ ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
13	The Best of the Nat King Cole Trio: The Vocal Classics, Vol. 1 (1942-1946) (1995) more music like this by Nat King Cole add to wishlist Originally released in August 1968, The Best Of Nat "King" Cole (Capitol 2944) was reissued in 1980 (Capitol 16036). ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.29! new only from $13.29!
14	Northern Exposure (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.65!
15	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith add to wishlist see all copies from $2.07! new only from $2.07!
16	Krupa & Rich (1955) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although drummers Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich are pictured together on this CD's cover, they actually only play together on one selection, a lengthy "Bernie's Tune." The first five performances (with two songs apiece for Rich and Krupa) also feature short solos from trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge, tenors Flip Phillips and Illinois ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $13.78!
17	Further Definitions (1961) more music like this by Benny Carter & His Orchestra add to wishlist This essential single-CD combines altoist/arranger Benny Carter's classic Further Definitions with the related Additions to Further Definitions. The former set was a revisit, instrumentation-wise, to the famous 1937 session that Carter and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins made in France with two top European saxophonists (Andre Ekyan and Alix ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $10.43!
18	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $8.54!
19	The Complete Imperial Recordings: 1950-1954 (1991) more music like this by T-Bone Walker add to wishlist Another essential T-Bone Walker collection, Complete Imperial Recordings: 1950-1954 is a two-disc dish with 52 sensational tracks from his stint at Lew Chudd's Imperial Records label.

20	The Nat King Cole Trio Recordings, Vol. 5 (1940) more music like this by Nat King Cole Trio add to wishlist The fifth of five CDs in this series by the budget label Laserlight differs from the first four in that it spans 16 years in pianist/singer Nat King Cole's career. He is heard with his original trio (which included guitarist Oscar Moore and bassist Wesley Prince) on six selections from 1940-41 and with his 1949 quartet (which had Jack Constanzo on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.00!
21	Jim Dandy (2006) more music like this by LaVern Baker add to wishlist Sexy, sensual, and a dynamite singer, LaVern Baker brought style and substance to her jazzy jump blues material, transforming it to the edge of rock & roll and paving the way for the pop-soul styles of the 1960s. Her best work was on Atlantic Records, the label she signed with in 1953 after first recording as Little Miss Sharecropper for RCA ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.05!
22	Lackawanna Blues (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack companion to an HBO film directed by George C. Wolf and based on Ruben Santiago-Hudson's acclaimed one man show (Santiago-Hudson wrote the screenplay adaptation and appears in the film) about a black youth coming of age in upstate New York in the early 1960s, Lackawanna Blues mixes new material by Mos Def, Robert Bradley and Macy ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $15.65!
23	The World of Nat King Cole (2005) more music like this by Nat King Cole add to wishlist Easily the longest of any Capitol single-disc compilation, 2005's The World of Nat King Cole also benefits from a fresh remastering of its material to make it the best introduction to the interpretive brilliance of Nat King Cole. Nearly all the hits that need to be here are indeed present: "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Route 66," "Nature Boy," ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
24	Just a Closer Walk with Thee (1960) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee add to wishlist Here's Brownie and Sonny's gospel album, recorded in 1957 at Jenny Lind Hall in Oakland, California. Those used to hearing this duo stomp and hoot the blues will be surprised as they tackle material like "What a Beautiful City," "I Shall Not Be Moved," "If I Could Hear My Mother Pray," and Gary Davis' "Get Right Church" in their own inimitable ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $9.77!
25	The Original Guitar Wizard (2005) more music like this by Lonnie Johnson add to wishlist Lonnie Johnson was best known for his tonally beautiful guitar playing, but he was also a fine singer and songwriter, and pretty adept on violin, piano, banjo, mandolin, harmonium, and bass as well. Equally at home in the blues or the jazz world (he worked with artists as raw as Texas Alexander and as polished as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $23.74! new only from $26.88!
