1.Rama Story by: The Crows, The Five Budds, Viola Watkins, Bert Keyes, Lonnie Johnson, The Buccaneers, Jimmy Wright, Valli Hinton, The Pretenders, Various Artists

Search : Rama Story
What a bargain, 2 cds with 60 tracks chronicling the story of George Goldner's Rama Records and the beginning of Rock and roll. "Gee", the big hit by the Crows in 1954 is considered by many to be the first Rhythm & Blues record to cross over to a white audience and the new music knowned as Rock & Roll. Everything else is here to tell the story of this labal that only lasted 3 years but gave us so many memories. We have "A Thousand Miles Away", by the Heartbeats, great early tracks by the Harptones, the Wrens, Valentines and the very rare songs by the Crows that followed "Gee". Some of the rarest group recordings are also included by the Bucaneers, Five Budds and Blue Notes. But Rama also released single artists, Pop singers and even a few Rock-a Billy records during these few years. ... Read More

This is a terrific cd set. The music is generally from the late 40's and early 50's and comes from several different genres that eventually gave birth to what was named "rock and roll." The compilers' liner notes state that they disagree with the "conventional wisdom" that rock and roll consisted of white artists stealing from and imitating black artists. They contend that there was in fact greater fluidity, more of a back and forth transmission between white and black recording artists during the period than critics recognize. Thus, they pair a "white" version of each song with a "black" version to make their point. Some songs are first done by "white" artists and others are first done by "black" artists. I put the race in quotes because in some cases, e.g., the first song, which is described ... Read More

I never expected this to be a collection of Ricky Nelson's "live" concert recordings but I am very happy it is instead of the usual studio recordings. The sound quality is excellent and Ricky really sings his best and the music rocks along nicely. A very brilliant collection of his very best greatest hits done live on stage.
