Larry Darnell was a huge but now-forgotten star of black music and was an important component of the sound that became New Orleans R&B in the 1950s. Six Billboard Top Ten hits during 1949-50, including "For You My Love" (No.1 for eight weeks in 1949 in both the Jukebox and Best Seller charts), "I'll Get Along Somehow" (No.2 in 1950), "I Love My Baby" (No.4 in 1950) and "Oh, Babe!" (No.5 in 1950). All included here. This compilation collates the very best of Darnell's slow blues and up-tempo jump recordings.............
