Rhythm and Blues

<p>Formidable Rhythm and Blues (also known as Rhythm And Blues Formidable) was a French series launched by Barclay in 1966. As a distributor for different labels such as Atlantic, Atco, Stax, and others, this label played a significant role in promoting the vibrant genre of rhythm and blues. Over the years, some of these remarkable compilations were reissued through WEA Filipacchi Music in their renowned series.</p>

Following the success of Alan Freed’s Rock’n’Roll Revues in 1953 and 1954, record companies ramped up the number of rhythm and blues releases (or rock’n’roll as it had now become known) to satisfy increased demand among white American teenagers. Instrumental records were just perfect for getting the kids up on the dance floor, be they hard-rocking guitar and sax-led numbers, slinky organ smoochers, or Mambo groovers. This 2CD set contains the sixty finest and most exciting R&amp;B instrumentals recorded in 1954. Including label shots and annotated notes.
