2011 collection that spotlights the influential catalog of this legendary label. Vee-Jay Records was founded in Gary, Indiana in 1953 by Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken (later that year, Mr. & Mrs. Bracken), who used their first initials for the label's name. The first song they ever recorded made it to the Top Ten of the national Rhythm & Blues charts. In a short time, Vee-Jay was the most successful black-owned record company in the United States. By 1963, they were charting records faster than some of the major labels. Vee-Jay were the first U.S. Company to have the Beatles and, in one month alone, in early 1964, they sold 2.6 million Beatles singles. Two years later, the company was bankrupt. This is the story of the rise and fall of a black music dynasty and the rare Soul legacy they left behind that changed the sound of Chicago and brought Soul music to the world.

BOBBY WOMACK - Fly Me To The Moon '68 My Prescription '70 @320 (Includes all covers)
http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/20075810/file.html
"Fly Me To The Moon"/"My Prescription", the first two albums compiled together of singer/songwriter Bobby Womack, FLY ME TO THE MOON, the debut released 1969. The heart of soul all over, featuring "Fly Me To The Moon", "What Is This", "I'm A Midnight Mover", "Lillie Mae", "Think It Over", - Wilson Pickett also covered "Midnight Mover", written in collaboration by Pickett and Womack. Pickett always said, "Bobby Womack was his favorite songwriter", and eleven of twenty three songs on this compilation are Womack originals. Bobby Womack is noted as a fine guitar player and probably underrated, his unique vocal style stands tall with other elite singers, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, or a Clarence Carter...listen for the fine cover of the Mamas And Papas', "California Dreamin'". MY PRESCRIPTION, the second album recorded in 1970, features, "How I Miss You Baby", "More Than I Can Stand", "Arkansas State Prison", "Everyone's Gone To The Moon", and a soulistic jazz version of, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". This has to be one of the very best recordings of Bobby Womack, a disc ya just can't stop spinning... 2004 stateside uk import with excellent audio.

Thanks
Nice tribute.
Looks like a fantastic collection. Unfortunately, my anti-virus software keeps saying this download contains a virus or spyware. I've never had a problem with any Zippyshare downloads on this blog before, so maybe you can let me know if there is really a problem here.
Beyond that, thanks for all the great music, especially the Decca Originals soul volume, which I've been looking for.

Hi,
Ignore my last comment on here. This download was fine -- my Norton program was just acting weird.
I do have one request, though. Could you re-up that Jamaican soul collection? Thanks!
