Blues Balladeer
Crooner Jesse Belvin, a key figure on the 1950s West Coast R&B; scene, had a special way with slow and medium ballads; his adoration of melody and lyrics was stirringly dramatic yet never bathetic. This collection of released tracks and long-lost demos and alternate takes does not have his signature piece, "Goodnight My Love," which was made for another label.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
