Roscoe Shelton was one of the great "voices from the shadows" of the classic Rhythm & Blues era of the 1950s and 1960s. Like many R&B singers of his generation he began singing in church. Roscoe loved the Blues and had been influenced by many of the smoother singers like Ivory Joe Hunter, Ray Charles and Little Willie John. Save Me consists of the last of his known recordings including his song Step In The Right Direction, which he had intended to pitch to his old friend Tina Turner for her to record. Roscoe Shelton was an extremely talented singer, as evidenced on these sides. Save me is a must for all fans of Southern Blues and Soul and is digitally remastered and housed in digipak format with informative liner notes by Fred James...............
