Product Overview
Various Artists - New Breed R&B ~ Saturday Night Special (CD) New Breed is back with a historical bang. The opening track and title inspiration is Aaron Collins & the Teen Queensà æEvery Saturday Nightà . Its R&B pedigree is inestimable; Aaron was a member of the Flairs/Flares LA vocal group and wrote songs for Z.Z. Hill, Jackie Day, Cookie Jackson and others and, in 1972, Ray Charles recorded his æEvery Saturday Nightà for ABC. The Modern tape vaults have given up this original 1966 R&B take of the song with both Aaron and his sisters, the Teen Queens, performing at their best. All the more remarkable as the girls had not recorded since 1962 and it was to be their last session, both dying tragically a few years later. More unissued beauties come from East Coast outfit the Corvairs with æIà ll Never Do It Againà , Oaklandàs funky bluesman Johnny Talbot and æSatisfiedà , Gay Meadowsà Atlanta-recorded æHead Doctorà , a trio of obscure Ohio R&B outfits û Little Macey & The Valiants, Big Charley & The Domans and Pee Wee Foster. Rare 45s come courtesy of Curly Mays, Pat Garvis, Esko Wallace and the Tren-teens. There are Ace CD tracks that went largely undiscovered by the New Breed crowd from Prince Conley, Rob Robinson and the Lon-Genes, while other highlights come from the very recently discovered Freddie Williams track æPurty Little Mamaà recorded for Norman Petty in New York, Slim & The Twilightsà New Orleans-sounding æFamily Manà and Tony Clarkeàs early Detroit rocker æYour Love Must Be Tabooà û presented digitally from master tape for the first time. We have stunning photos of Margaret Lewis, Flora D, the Metallics, Rob Robinson and Johnny ôGuitarö Watson, along with some fax ænà info for the serious Breeder.
