Add an incendiary couple of tracks from James Brown ("Please, Please, Please," "Try Me"), some Jackie Wilson, and a couple of doo wop classics (the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night," Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs' "Stay"), and you've got a very strong and exciting disc. It is by no means a definitive collection of '50s R&B (no Atlantic artists, for example), but it will do as an introduction to the music of the era. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
