Of all the original 1950s Rock 'n' Roll stars, none was more flamboyant than Richard Wayne Penniman. At his peak he was the most dynamic Rock 'n' Roll extrovert on record and stage, which obscures the fact he was also the most mellifluous vocalist of the pack when he calmed down enough to sing a blues ballad. This amazing 64-track retrospective features all of his 1955 to 1958 mind-blowers plus compelling evidence that he was already the Georgia Peach before his international hits.
