Lorez Alexandria —
Singing Songs Everyone Knows ... CD King, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Perhaps one of the straightest albums that Lorez ever cut – but still pretty darn great!

Hank Ballard —
Sexy Ways – The Best Of Hank Ballard & The Midnighters ... CD King/Rhino, 1950s/Early 60s. Used ... $6.99
Sexy is right! Hank may have been a half-pint wonder, but he had a voice that was like no other – high and raspy, but with a fierce growl that made you instantly take notice. Plus, his thuggish aproach to vocals really put a bit into the vicious R&B tunes that he cut with The ... (Soul) read more CD
