This great value 54-track 2-CD collection brings together his recordings for the Imperial, Decca, Atlantic, Herald during the 50s plus 10 tracks he recorded for the Ric label in the early 60s, covering the first two decades of his recording career. They chart his progression from late 40s blues through R&B to the heyday of rock n roll, and amply demonstrate why he earned the nickname King Of The Stroll. This expanded and updated anthology supersedes other Tommy Ridgley compilations on the market and will be welcomed by collectors seeking a more comprehensive overview of the key era in his career.
