Description:
2 CD Set Often credited with kick starting the rock 'n' roll era Louis not only influenced James Brown but also Chuck Berry, Little Richard and even Bill Haley. Louis' big time was in the 40s when he had a string of hits, all featured on Avid's latest release The Essential Collection. These songs became household favorites in the 90s after the huge success of the stage musical "Five Guys Named Moe" based on Louis' life. Sadly Louis died in 1975 and was never able to enjoy the huge revival of interest in his work. So get your jiving shoes on as we take you on a trip with the master on such classics as "Choo Choo Ch'boogie", "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby", "Five Guys Named Moe", "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens", "Let The Good Times Roll" and many many more. |
