One of the GREAT deep soul singers from Alabama (and they had their share of them!!!) Jimmy Hughes recordings have been difficult to find in the digital age and KENT has done a GREAT job with these two cd reissues of his classic FAME recordings........with the songwriting talents of DAN PENN & SPOONER OLDHAM, the production skill of Rick Hall and the delivery of Jimmy Hughes, there are few recordings as satisfying as these............
Why Not Tonight embraces this Alabama-born soul man's original Fame/Atlantic album of that title, seven non-album As and Bs and three originally unissued sides - two of which make their worldwide debut here.
It was on these recordings that the celebrated Muscle Shoals sound really began to take shape and to define an era in Southern soul music...........................
