| Description: | Complete Singles As & Bs 1953-62 is an album by Moonglows, released in 2016. Complete Singles As & Bs 1953-62 includes a.o. the following tracks: ??I Just Can't Tell No Lie?, ??Baby Please?, ??I Was Wrong?, ??Ooh Rockin' Daddy? and more. The album is a rhythm & blues 2-CD. - .. BS 1953-62Despite their relatively short career together and an equally limited recording output, The Moonglows were one of the most important and influential doowop vocal groups of the 1950s, their career spanning the years of the rock 'n' roll explosion in pop as well as the time when mainstream pop artists and labels were plundering the R&B charts for potential crossover hit songs. Led by the legendary Harvey Fuqua, who went on to marry Berry Gordy's sister and became a hugely successful writer and producer at Motown, and featuring his long-time colleague Bobby Lester sharing lead vocals, they recorded initially for Alan Freed's Challenge label, before he got them a deal with Chance, and moved to Chess, with whom they scored their biggest success with R&B No. 1 Sincerely, which was covered by The McGuire Sisters to score a pop No. 1. This great-value 56-track 2-CD set comprises the A and B sides of every single they released before they parted company, their music encompassing rocking up-tempo bluesy R&B as well as smooth, immaculate ballads, with beautifully textured harmonies. It naturally features all their chart entries, including the R&B Top 10 hits Most Of All, Sincerely, We Go Together, See Saw, Please Send Me Someone To Love and The Ten Commandments of Love. It's a comprehensive trawl across a brief but significant career.Tracks 1-15 to 1-18 were originally released as Bobby Lester and the Moonlighters. This is mentioned in the essay, but the track list says Bobby Lester and the Moonglows.
In the booklet, the lead vocal credits are incorrect for tracks 1-1 and 1-2. It says Harvey Fuqua sings lead on both, with Bobby Lester singing the bridge on 1-2. In fact it is on track 1-1 that Bobby sings the bridge. Prentiss Barnes is singing lead on track 1-2.
As the original group had broken up, tracks 2-22, 2-24 to 2-27 were performed by Harvey Fuqua with members of his new group of Moonglows.
