, along with a star-studded list of
soul
artists, ignite on 13 blue chip live performances of great
R&B
songs.
Chuck Jackson
,
Carla Thomas
B.B. King
Isaac Hayes
Sam Moore
, and
gospel
singer
Bobby Jones
contribute vocals; and
Michael Toles
the Memphis Horns
, ex-
Motown
bassist
Bob Babbitt
and
Billy Preston
, the music. This pleasing set is set off by
's scathing rendition of

"Red, Hot & Blue"
"Buzz Me"

collector's stash. ~ Andrew Hamilton
