From 1935 to the late 1940s he was the star vocalist with Count Basie and his Orchestra. The first 20 tracks of this compilation cover this period and include big hits such as, 'Goin' To Chicago Blues', 'Jimmy's Blues' and 'Rusty Dusty Blues'.

Jimmy Rushing's powerful voice could hold its own over the powerful riffing of horn sections in any big band setting........
