"Classy Sugar" The Pure Essence Of New York Rock & Roll

Classy Sugar provides a birds-eye view of the sessions that were colonized by such seasoned pros as saxman ‘King’ Curtis, guitarist George Barnes, drummer Panama Francis, and piano wizard Bert Keyes. This Manhattan melodrama also served as a training ground for the new breed of producers, managers, agents and song pluggers who would one day end up running the music industry that employed them.When viewing the content, look out for rarities by The Platters, Frankie Lymon, LaVern Baker and The Crew-Cuts. And, as you might expect, there is no shortage of surprises and hard-to-find gems that serve to make Classy Sugar the Pure Essence of New York Rock & Roll”.Having investigated the inner workings of the big beat in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Nashville, Stuart Colman now turns his attention to New York City. During the 1950s and early 60s, the recording studios in the Big Apple were filled to capacity with r&b performers, mainstream vocalists and teenage upstarts, all seeking to mine the primeval rock & roll seam. It really was open season, in that anyone with enough chutzpah could have a stab at this largely untried and untested format.The subsequent onslaught brought about a host of fresh names, including Bobby Pedrick, Barbara Evans, Danny Valentino and The Ospreys. But, whilst many of those seeking success would only deliver an occasional single, newcomers like Neil Sedaka, Jeff Barry, Bobby Darin and The Isley Brothers would go on to enjoy lengthy careers both as artists and songwriters.
