5.0 out of 5 stars EARLY SOUL MASTER~BRAVO LLOYD PRICE!!!, November 7, 2006

By	Bradly Briggs (TOLUCA LAKE, CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In the late fifties Lloyd Price released many awesome huge mega-hits such as "Stagger Lee" and "Personality" which crossed over big time onto the pop charts making him one of the most successful soul masters to achieve this amazing feat in the segregated dark-age fifties...at that time it was white singers who covered songs sung by black artists who were pretty much only played on the R&B stations which was a practice before the liberal sixties came along and did away with this pathetic practice! Earlier in the fifties Lloyd Price also scored big with classics such as "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" which was beautifully covered by Elvis in the late sixties on his legendary TV special...but nobody could sing a Lloyd Price song like Mr. Price and he sold them by the millions and this collection is a fine place to start in enjoying this legendary talent...Lloyd Price did a fine and very soulful version of "Misty" in the sixties but pretty much disappeared from the music scene after that which was a shame but thankfully collections such as this can take one back to a master in his prime. Remembering the late fifties as a child the gifted and uniquely soulful black singers who really stood out were Jackie Wilson, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Clyde McPhatter, Dee Clark, Brook Benton, Fat's Domino and Lloyd Price...not a bad group to be lumped in with!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars All his great hits right here, January 12, 2008

By	Old Guy "Oldies glutton" - See all my reviews

All songs are original radio versions hits as you remember them, which isn't always the case with 20th century series. If you're a Lloyd Price fan, or if you're a collector of 50's and 60's hits like I am, you'll want this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A True Original, December 6, 2007

Lloyd Price is a true original whose work set the stage for other artists to come. His uptempto R&B with great hooks and memorable melodies helped pave the way for Marvin Gaye and other great soul singers of the mid 60's. Check out "Stagger Lee," "Lawdy Miss Claudie," and "Personality."

Yes, the sound does sound dated, but take a trip back to the 1950's and hear one of the grand daddies of sweet soul music.
