Product Description:

2010 collection of early Mambo favorites that infiltrated the predominantly English-speaking Pop charts. By 1954, the nation's best-sellers were suddenly blessed with a string of self-evident song titles - 'Mambo Italiano', 'Papa Loves Mambo' and 'They Were Doin' the Mambo'. Similar developments began to stir up the R&B field, not to mention the new Rock 'n' Roll school. Stalwarts like Ruth Brown, Ivory Joe Hunter and the Robins brought their variations to bear, as did Bill Haley, the Platters and Otis Williams. It didn't stop there because the sensuousness started cropping up in other areas as well, particularly through proponents such as Louis Prima, Earl Bostic and Cal Tjader. The name of the dance might not have always been apparent in a title, but the mambo's percussive groove was clearly apparent in the work of country talents such as Johnny Horton, Janis Martin and Johnny Burnette. 25 tracks. Fantastic Voyage.
