This is the first digital compilation of the excellent recordings of Edward Gates White a.k.a. The Great Gates (and occasionally, The Man In The Moon). His one R&B Top 10 hit 'Late After Hours' was a calling card that saw him label hopping across a host of small L.A. independent labels, always making great music and always hoping that another hit might eventually come. Many of these sides feature the screaming guitar of Jesse Irvin & honkin tenor from Marvin Phillips (fom Marvin & Johnny).................
