Johnny Adams was an American singer known for his versatile vocal range and unique singing style. Born on January 5, 1932 in New Orleans, Louisiana, he gained fame as a talented R&B, jazz, blues, and gospel artist. Nicknamed "The Tan Canary," Adams captivated audiences with his multi-octave voice and impressive falsetto. His renditions of "Release Me" and "Reconsider Me" became his biggest hits during the late 1960s.

Throughout his career, Johnny Adams showcased his exceptional talent alongside other renowned artists such as *Earl King*, *Ernie K-Doe*, *Eddie Bo*, and many more. He contributed to the rich musical heritage of New Orleans alongside legends like *Art Neville*, *Professor Longhair*, and *Allen Toussaint*. 

Despite his passing on September 14, 1998 at the age of 66 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Johnny Adams' legacy lives on through his timeless music. With a distinctive voice that touched hearts across genres, he remains an influential figure in the world of R&B and soul.

2 CDs / 30 Tracks - Includes Previously unreleased material. Renowned around his Crescent City home base as "the Tan Canary" for his extraordinary set of soulfully soaring pipes, veteran R&amp;B vocalist Johnny Adams tackled an exceptionally wide variety of material for Rounder Records in his later years. Adams sang gospel professionally before crossing over to the secular world in 1959, scoring a number of hits produced and written by a young Dr. John. In the late ‘60s he moved to the SSS imprint racking up Top Ten Hits with “Reconsider Me” and “Release Me.” After an unsuccessful stint with Atlantic, Adams hooked up with New Orleans wunderkind Allen Toussaint and Senator Jones that resulted in two breathtakingly soulful (and out of print) albums and regionally released singles that compromise the bulk of this compilation.
