In the shadow of the label's headline-grabbing R&B and rock & roll stars, Atlantic's honking hornmen not only fired up many a vocal chart-topper, but they also helped lay the foundation for the mid-'50s rock revolution with their own jump swinging instrumentals from the decade before. In lieu of probable figures like Big Jay McNeely and Bill Doggett making this Atlantic two-fer of mad R&B blowers, though, such other A-list players as Willis Jackson, King Curtis, and jazzer Arnett Cobb take center stage for the course of the collection's 28 tracks. In addition, key honkers are featured on cuts by the jazz and R&B bands of pianist Jesse Stone (Sam "The Man" Taylor), guitarist Tiny Grimes (Red Prysock), and drummer Joe Morris (Johnny Griffin). A solid affair through and through, as the mix does heavy time in the prime late-'40s and early-'50s stretch, then reveals the enduring quality of all that bar walkin' with several late-'60s boogaloo revisions by Curtis, including his "Memphis Soul Stew" and a go at Led Zeppelin's behemoth "Whole Lotta Love."

BONUS
Oscar Toney Jr. - Loving You Too Long : The Contempo Sessions
First time on CD for this extremely rare Soul album, originally released in the mid '70s, featuring bonus alternate mixes and a previously unreleased track. Oscar Toney Jr scored a major crossover R&B and Pop hit with his version of the classic Soul ballad 'For Your Precious Love' in 1967. He toured the UK frequently after his hit, and signed with Contempo in 1973 to record a notable LP of great Soul ballads. These tracks were described by reviewer Alan Lewis as "Possibly the best Deep-Soul recordings ever made in London" in Black Music magazine 1975. Q (Magazine) -- "[S]howcasing his power against a range of styles, from the gospel opener to superfly funk of 'The Thrill Is Gone'."
''An oddity: Deep Soul recorded in 1975 (when this was out of fashion in the USA), and in London, with British musicians (who are absolutely perfect ...), for the Blues and Soul magazine Contempo label. As usual, Toney sings mostly covers, but with sooo much talent ... Some criticize him for lack of original material, but jazz singers do that all the time, and nobody criticizes them for that ... Just look at the length of his versions, and you can see he stretches them beyond their original duration.'' -chrismass61

The Temptations - The Temptin' Temptations (1965)
The Temptations' third album for Motown's Gordy subsidiary in 1965 kept the hit streak alive with the inclusion of "Since I Lost My Baby," "My Baby," "Don't Look Back," and "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)." As a matter of fact, this album churned out seven chart hit singles -- or rather, they were included on this collection, as singles wagged the album dog back in those days. Either way, Smokey Robinson produces the lion's share of tracks (six) on here, including "You've Got to Earn It," "I'll Be in Trouble," and "You're the One I Need." The album also introduces Ivory Joe Hunter and Mickey Stevenson's production work on "Just Another Lonely Night" and "Born to Love You" and future producer Norman Whitfield on "The Girl's Alright With Me," "I Gotta Know Now," and "Everybody Needs Love." Another classic album by the original group. -Cub Koda
