BIG MAYBELLE "I've Got A Feelin'" - Okeh & Savoy Recordings 1952-56

This compilation of blues singer Big Maybelle is interesting because it assembles both her Savoy and Okeh recordings in the 1950s. That was her heyday, she only had a few hits (Gabbin' blues and Candy) but recorded this great bunch of rhythm & blues with the best musicians in New York.
Big Maybelle pours her heart out in every song with her house-rocking vocals, over a small big band type of rhythm & blues beat. Other highlights are the rocking One monkey don't and Whole lot of shakin' and the bluesy I've got a feeling. (Amazon)trax:
