Jewel and Paula were started by Stan Lewis, a record store owner and mail-order operator specializing in the kind of vital R&B,Blues,Soul and Gospel tunes that many people enjoyed, but were highly undervalued by most major record labels. Lewis moved into the record business during the mid 1960s, signing raw artists who made music light years away from slick pop fare.This two disc anthology features prime Jewel and Paula acts from the 1960s,'70s and '80s.The first disc includes urgent soul tunes from Toussaint McCall and Ted Taylor,Delta blues from Frank Foster,classic shouting R&B from Joe Turner,the smoother R&B sound of Charles Brown,Lightnin' Hopkins,John Lee Hooker,and others.The second disc is just as Distinguished,featuring Little Johnny Taylor, Fontella Bass,Ike and Tina Turner,Buster Benton and Ted Taylor then budding stars Bobby Rush and Artie "Blues Boy" White,plus other regional attractions. A welcomed addition for collectors & lovers of this unique southern sound!
