The Queen of Rhythm and Blues This compilation of 30 songs impressively shows the extremely interesting career of Ruth Brown. Starting in the early 1950s, when she sang her way to the top of the R&B charts with her unique voice, which already had a high recognition value at that time, and thus created a solid financial basis for her label Atlantic Records, through the time in the mid 1950s, when she easily made the transition from her rather jazzy style of rhythm and blues to rock 'n' roll and teenage ballads and to early soul sounds, gospel and twist in the early '60s. Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean The title song 'Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean' is one of Ruth Brown's greatest achievements, which she recorded several times throughout her career and which has been part of her regular live repertoire for decades. Shortly before her death she sang the song live as a duet with rockabilly legend Janis Martin. In addition to her big hits, such as the title song '5-10-15 Hours' (here in the version recorded in 1958) and 'Lucky Lips' (which also gained hit status in Cliff Richard's version), there are many lesser known recordings and rarities to be discovered. Especially the bonus tracks, which appear here for the first time on CD, are such rarities. Live recordings from the 'Rhythm and Blues Revue' in the mid-50s, even if not recorded directly at the Apollo Theater in New York, these recordings still impressively show the atmosphere that captivated the audience at such live concerts! ""This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'!"" Included is a 36-page full-color booklet with the Ruth Brown biography, written by the well-known music journalist Bill Dahl from Chicago, as well as rare information, rare photos and illustrations, plus a session discography of the included songs!
