The Five Royales
Baby Don’t Do It – The “5” Royales Story part one 1951-1956 CD
The 5 Royales fused together elements of Gospel, Jump Blues, R&B and Doo-Wop, and were an important, hugely influential link in the early evolution of Rock 'n' Roll.
They were billed with the 5 in quotation marks, in acknowledgement that they generally had six members.
Many of their hits were penned by bass singer/guitarist, Lowman Pauling, and featured the lead voice of Johnny Tanner.
The first in a two-volume set, this collection traces their evolution from The Royal Sons Quintet, a 1951 Gospel group, to the end of 1956, when they were at their commercial peak.
All of their early R&B hits are featured here, notably the chart-toppers Baby Don’t Do It and Help Me Somebody.
