Griffin Brothers/ Margie Day - Weepin And Cryin': The Singles Collection 1950-55The Griffin Brothers, comprising Jimmy and Edward Buddy Griffin, were an R&B duo from Virginia, who formed a band in the post war years to perform around Washington D. C., bringing in singer Margie Day and winning a recording contract with Randy Wood's newly established Dot label. They had a number of hits in the early '50s and became famous for their rocking R&B workouts which presaged the arrival of rock 'n' roll in the charts a few years later, by

"Honey Love"

her chart success with her husband coming beyond the scope of this anthology

and original compositions by Slava and Leonard themselves

'The Duck' was a massive US hit

but they also range across the spectrum of Latin

and features recordings with Charles Mingus

including four Top 20 hits with "Two Dreams Met"

as Guest Star on The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show and The Peggy Lee Show

Conductor: William Dongois

We are delighted to help rectify that shameful oversight with this first-time reissue of Etta's superb Call My Name album with many bonus tracks

alongside his typical wit and moving depth
