Black artists were making major breakthroughs in the pop chart, reflecting the gradual breaking down of racial barriers, and many records, especially rock n roll records by black artists, featured in both charts. Some long-established acts were making their final appearances in the charts, and the market saw a new kind of urban music taking hold and paving the way for the soul boom of the 60s, while gospel-influenced R&B was making a big impact. It is a thoroughly entertaining collection, which, alongside Vol. 2, gives a fascinating picture of the R&B scene in an exciting time for music.
