One of my all time fave singers with that big powerful voice,legend Titus Turner.
Although he was primarily known as a successful songwriter,who penned a steady stream
of R&B hits,Titus Turner enjoyed a parallel recording career.This unique compilation
presents the very best of his own recordings between 1955-1962,for a half dozen
different US record labels,viz,Wing,Atlantic,King,Glover,Jamie and Enjoy.Included
are his US hits "The Return Of Stagloee", "We Told You Not To Marry" and "Sound Off
(Duckworth Chant)" as well as the title track "Taking Care Of Business",which was
hugely popular in the New York clubs Also includes his original versions of songs
like "All Around The World","Big John", "Get On The Right Track Baby", "People Sure
Act Funny" and "Soulville",which became hits for Little Willie John,The Shirelles,
Ray Charles,Arthur Conley and Dinah Washington respectively.Several of these sides
are serious collector's rarities,unavailable elsewhere on CD.The man is a legend
across the soul scene.Just about everything covered here with the double album and Bonus Tracks.
