There's nothing like these HOT records made in the mid-60's, which find seasoned hard blues singers adopting then current (and in this listener's ears timeless) uptempo, uptown soul sounds.

Born and Lynchburg, Tennessee Roscoe Shelton's career spanned from 1949 (where at age 18 he joined gospel group The Fairfield Four in Nashville) and ended in 1969 when he left the music business to work at a Nashville Music College, which he did until he began singing again with The Excello (Records) Legends group.
from 1967...
