An overview of a legendary R&B performer who was one of the biggest R&B performers of the 1950s.
Contains his entire output for Duke Records including 3 R&B number ones and 5 more Top 10 R&B hits including 'Pledging My Love' which spent ten weeks in the top spot.
The perfect way to 'discover' an artist who only ever had one 7' single released in the U.K. and that was 7 years AFTER his death!
The CD also includes two recordings made by other artists in tribute to the singer / songwriter after his accidental death at Christmas 1954.
The booklet contains a detailed look at Johnny Ace's life, his death at his own hands along with scans of reviews, labels and press ads.
