This collection spotlights their greatest artists singing their greatest hits from Apollo Records.

Apollo Records was an East Coast bastion of doo wop and R&B in the late '40s and early '50s, and this entry in Collectables' Spotlite series is the first volume examining the goodies found in their vaults. Big-ticket items here are the Cellos' "Rang Ting Ding Dong," the Delroys' insanely great "Bermuda Shorts," and the Five Royals' "Laundromat Blues." But tracks like "My Heart's Desire" by the Opals, "A Star" by the Keynotes, "Angel of Romance" by the Claremonts, and the closer "Darling" by the Vocaltones, are just as emblematic of a sound and style as anything else on here. More street-corner classics from the Charmers, the Ambassadors, and the Larks complete the set. ~ Cub Koda
