Checker, 1965. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Despite the "Sugar Pie" in her name, Ms. DeSanto was one of the best hard soul singers to come out of the Chicago scene. She's got a style and a sound that's very similar to Etta James' more raucous work for Chess, and it's no surprise that the two of them recorded a number of duets for ...

Checker, 1964. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sockin soul from one of the greatest 60s singers on Chess! "Soulful Dress" is a chunky dancefloor groover – Sugar Pie singing the lyrics nice and hard, as the track crackles along with a really catchy hook! "Use What You Got" is more of a bluesy tune – but still ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Checker, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $11.99 19.99
If it were up to us, every song Bo recorded would have been a hit – because they're all so great! This album does a pretty good job of sorting out the best numbers, though – picking 16 tracks from his all-great albums for Chess – with a focus on the tightest and most groove-heavy ...

Have guitar, will travel – and back in the day, Bo Diddley was going pretty darn far with great material like this!

A group that definitely lives up to its name – given that the lineup features the Chess Records stalwarts Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, and Muddy Waters!

Checker, 1966. Very Good+ ... $11.99 14.99
Big blues from Little Milton, recorded with a mighty big sound as well – thanks to the cool criss-crossing of soul and blues that was going down at Chess Records in the 60s!
