Cat. No. 2283: THE RAVENS ~ GREEN EYES. COLLECTABLES COL-CD-9945.
Tax included.
PART OF COLLECTABLES GREAT GROUPS SERIES. THE RAVENS FORMED IN 1946 AND COMPRISED OF JIMMY RICKS, WARREN SUTTLES, LEONARD PUZEY AND HENRY OLIVER JONES. THEY WERE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND MOST INFLUENTIAL QUARTETS OF THE PERIOD AND HAD SEVERAL HITS ON THE R&B CHARTS IN THE LATE '40s AND EARLY '50s. THEY USED JIMMY RICK’S BASS VOICE, RATHER THAN A MORE CONVENTIONAL TENOR ON MANY OF THEIR RECORDINGS AND THIS BECAME THEIR TRADEMARK STYLE. A GOOD IF NOT BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THEIR OUTPUT.
TRACK LISTING: Green Eyes / Ashamed / Take Me Back To My Boots And Saddles / At The Record Hop / Happy Go Lucky Baby/ She’s Fine / I’ll Always Be In Love With You / Unbeliever / Same Sweet Wonderful Someone / Bye Bye Baby.
