Shirley and Lee "Let The Good Times Roll" (Aladdin 1952-1959)

On the heels of Fats Domino and Lloyd Price came Shirley and Lee "the Sweethearts of the Blues" who together were key figures in bringing New Orleans rhythm and blues into popular music's mainstream...
...Best known for their 1950s hits I'm Gone, Feel So Good, I Feel Good, and the timeless classic Let The Good Times Roll, Shirley and Lee were among the first R&B acts to be accepted by white audiences. The picture of youthful innocence, the duo were tailor made for the record buyers of era. They retained their popularity by working through most of the facets of teenage romance including break-ups, reunions, revenge, flirting, and eventually rocking all night long. Each new release was another chapter in a vinyl love affair that lasted over a decade.

Wow a favourite duo from N'Orleans! Came across all these through Dr John, via Allen Toussaint and researching early RnB. This is a must have. Thank you!
