Although Varetta Dillard registered three Top 10 R&B hits during the early 50s, she failed to achieve significant success and has largely remained a cult figure little known outside of collectors' circles. She released thirty singles, across five different record labels without much attention. This 2-CD set comprises at least one side of each of those releases (in many cases, both sides) plus a dozen or so tracks which were not released the first time around........
