The Definitive 5 Royales : The Complete Apollo Recordings

The Definitive "5" Royales is a project comprising three double CD sets, bringing together all known recordings of the "5" Royales and their songwriter Lowman Pauling. Volume Three presents all their Apollo recordings together with a disc of "5" Royales cuts, curios and outtakes. The "5" Royales were the very first group to merge secular and sacred musical influences into a coherent whole, laying down the future guidelines of soul music. These CDs contain some of the very best early soul and R&B ever recorded and the Royales' music still has the power and the passion to move us all.
