Ruth Brown - The Queen Of R&B 1949-61

Stock Status: Temporarily Out Of Stock

Perhaps more than any other artist, Ruth Brown helped lead the way in bridging the gap between R&B and pop as far as female artists were concerned in the ’60s, paving the way for the likes of Mary Wells and Aretha Franklin .

So successful was she that she became known as “The Queen Of R&B” and her record company Atlantic was sometimes referred to as “the house that Ruth built”, so much did her hits contribute to the label’s commercial fortunes.

Between 1949 and 1962 she racked up 25 R&B hits, including five No.1s, with several crossing into the pop charts. This 109-track, 4CD, set features  just about all the A- and B-sides of her singles on Atlantic and Philips during these years, which include the titles from her albums Rock ‘n’ Roll and Miss Rhythm, plus most of the titles from her albums Late Date With Ruth for Atlantic and Along Comes Ruth for Philips.

It features all her 25 career R&B and pop chart hits including the R&B No.1s Teardrops From My Eyes, 5-10-15 Hours, (Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean, Oh What A Dream and Mambo Baby.

A 1993 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. She passed away in a Las Vegas–area hospital on November 17, 2006, from complications following a heart attack and stroke she suffered after surgery in the previous month. She was 78 years old.

Ten years later she was a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. This is a substantial and comprehensive overview of her primary career as a chart artist, and a highly entertaining showcase for her unique talent as a pop and R&B song stylist.
