Fire & Fury Story, The

To say impressive is to say very little. Bobby Robinson's labels (mainly and Fury, but also Red Robin, Whirlin' Disc, Everlast, Enjoy y Fling) covered nearly the whole spectre of black music during the 50's and 60's: R&B, Soul, Blues and Doo Wop. Here we find eighty nine tracks, not just by famous artists but also by some obscure ones. All of them classified in three CD's: "The Doo Wop Years", "The Soul Of The Blues", and "The Rhythm Of The Blues". With Arthur Crudup, Elmore James, Mighty Joe Young, Champion Jack Dupree, Buster Brown, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Lightnin' Hopkins, Red Prysock, Du-Droppers, Vocaleers, Scarlets, Topps, Rainbows, Sequins, Louis Lymon & The Teenchords, Federals, Kodoks, Bobby Marchan, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford, King Curtis & The Noble Knights, Tarheel Slim, Upsetters, Dr. Horse, Titus Turner, Lee Dorsey... The inner booklet digs deep into the label story, artists and recordings.
