This special release contains 30 tracks, including a selection of the finest shouters and R&B staples Roy Brown recorded for different labels like DeLuxe, King, Imperial, and Home of the Blues, between 1947 and 1960.

Highlights include joyous R&B and seminal rock & roll tunes, such as “Good Rockin' Tonight,” “Fannie Brown Got Married,” “Party Doll,” and “Ain't Gonna Do It,” among many others. Also featured here are lesser-known rockin' numbers that are just as enjoyable as the classics.

Lee Allen, Johnny Griffin, Earl Barnes (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Harden (trumpet), Justin Adams, Jimmy Davis (guitar), Frank Fields, Tommy Shelvin (bass), Charles Williams, Calvin Shields (drums), among others.

Roy James Brown (September 10, 1920 or 1925 – May 25, 1981) was an American R&B singer, songwriter and musician, who had a significant influence on the early development of rock and roll and the direction of R&B. His original song and hit recording "Good Rocking Tonight" was covered by Wynonie Harris, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Ricky Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Pat Boone, James Brown, the Doors, and the rock group Montrose. Brown was the first singer in recording history to sing R&B songs with a gospel-steeped delivery, which was then considered taboo by many churches. In addition, his melismatical pleading, vocal style influenced such notable artists as B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Elvis Presley, Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Little Richard.
