The label Koko Mojo Records focuses on the release of classic and less well known songs from the rhythm & blues area. This collection, "When You Find Love You're Feelin 'Good", is about the magic of love, the magic of moments of getting to know each other. Accordingly, the happy dancing couple on the cover can also be understood, yes, you feel good. But if you open the cover, you can see the once so happily and enthusiastically transfigured man with two suitcases in his hands and his wife, who, a toddler and a baby, obviously points him out of the house. Yes, love can tip over.

And exactly these situations are represented on this sampler with the corresponding songs. "Feelin 'Good", "I'm So In Love With You" contrast with those with titles like "After Marriage Blues" or "Worried About My Baby". And once it was called "I Wanna Be The Only One", it will later be called "You Can Have Her". Yes, that's how life can play. "My Girlfriend" opens the dance, The Cadillacs sing the doo-wop robe clapping in one hand very happily.

Little Junior Parker's song is the namesake of this collection and sings it with its blues, which actually sounds exactly like Magic Sam's song , but at that time it was also often unclear who was actually the author of a piece. Over the course of the twenty-eight tracks, we continue to encounter wind-supported rhythm & blues, pop music with string arrangements, further doo wop tracks, another pure blues by JB Lenoir , who reports on his current marriage, or the Johnny Otis Congregation , who played with the "Wedding Boogie" lets some preachers have their say.

The mix of artists consists on the one hand of relatively unknown musicians such as Gene And Eunice , Tiny Topsy or The Sunbeams , but on the other hand Howlin 'Wolf , Earl King or Clyde McPhatter can also be heard. Ultimately, this compilation represents a representative image of the music scene of colored artists, with the typical sounds of the fifties. There are also some well-known melodies, especially I refer to titles like "Why Do Fools Fall In Love", originally by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers from 1956, here in a version of The Gallahads or "Lover Please " fromClyde McPhatter . So there is a colorful mood about love, happiness, wedding, passion and disappointments.

Feelin’ Good
