Title: The Unknown R&B Soldier
Review: I knew Wayne Cochran by the single Going Back to Miami. Despite no charted on Hot 100, it was airplayed on Costa Rica's first Top 40 radio station back in 1967. Next year a girlfriend honored me with the generic Wayne Cochran vynil for Chess Records which I lost. Those songs are the reason why I kept looking for WC on CD till I found out this Australian release, so what to think...? I dig Wayne's energy on up-tempo songs but the ballads "When My Baby Cries" and "I'm Leaving Up to You" got a pure classic R&B with those musicians there. You see, not all that shine's is gold, but this is gold for those who appreciate such rock and soul or blue eyed soul style.
Is the review positive or negative?
