The Jive Five Meet The Bobby Lewis

by The Jive Five / Bobby Lewis

Bargain Audio CDs & Priceless Collection (series)

During the early R&B and doo wop era groups often toured in packages, taking the stage for a quick set of four or five songs, then clearing out of the way for the next act to do their four or five songs, and in some ways that's what this "meets" series from Collectables feels like, which combines two R&B vocal acts--five songs apiece. This one combines the Jive Five with singer Bobby Lewis, and the whole disc is over in twenty minutes. You're going to hear a song or two you like, though, and the series is budget priced, so it's a trade-off. Call it the briefest of introductions to each artist--just like those old package concert tours.
