Title: Great Big Voice from A Little Guy
Product review: This album was a really nice surprise when I opened it and listened to it. While I really enjoy the 1950's and 1960's recordings of the Jazz Vocalists and R&B phenoms, I had never listed to Little Willie John before. He truly is in a league with Sam Cooke; what a powerful and emotive voice he has. This album has all his top hits, including my favorites of "Sleep", done in a very Doo-Wop style; "The Very Thought Of You" & "Cottage For Sale" (great interpretation of these two standards); as well as "Talk To Me", and 24 others. If you like Sam Cooke, Benny King, or Clyde McPhatter,(from the Drifters) you won't be disappointed with this album. Little Willie John was a huge talent who died young (about 30 years old) and in prison. But his music is here to be discovered and is a special treat to those of us who have never heard him before. Enjoy.
