I have been looking for "I'M JUST YOUR FOOL" for FORTY YEARS, I never realized the whole CD would be so GREAT. They don't make music like this anymore. Thank you Amazon for having my kind of music. I have bought other great CD'S from you and will continue to do so.

I was about 3 or 4 when I first heard these songs. The 1950's juke-boxes in black neighbors rocked with the sound of Buddy And Ella Johnson, a brother and sister duo, whom I had the pleasure of seeing at the Apollo theater as a kid. Their style is unmarked and if you listen to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell you hear some of that same magic that these two had.

Had they of lived today I'm sure you would've seen them on television, movies, and the internet, but at that time blacks, no matter how talented were limited to race stations, far down the dial, but here they are in this magnificent CD that brings back memories.

If you have Walk 'Em....well, you have to decide. Walk 'Em's elements of groove, musicality and lowest-common denominator appeal are held in an almost-Mozartian balance. This combined with the excellent sound makes that CD a must. It made me want more - and...this CD is more - and less. Nothing here is on the level of such tracks as The Stuff You Gotta Watch or Root Man Blues. It's good enough. But rarely hellified. The instrumental A-12 is the best cut. Caveat Emptor.
