The latest release in our new series that offers the American Juke Box/Harlem Hit Parade/Race Record/Rhythm & Blues chart hits by a selection of the biggest stars of the 1940”s and 1950”s swing, jazz, jump blues and R&B scenes, features the legendary Count Basie. Most of these performers have never had their biggest hits compiled in one place and for many years the likes of Count Basie and Duke Ellington, the acknowledged superstars of the black big band elite, were considered above the vulgarity of ”hit records” but these collections will feature all the 78s they made that were money spinners on Jukeboxes across the world.
