Recording information: 1942 - 1947.
A hugely popular performer in the 1940s, vocalist/saxophonist Louis Jordan won over World War II-era audiences with his swinging jump-blues style, which proved to be a direct link between `30s jazz and `50s rock & roll. True to its title, #1S includes the 18 songs that Jordan took to Number One on the Billboard R&B charts during his stint with Decca Records.
This chronologically ordered collection begins with 1942`s silly and appropriately swaying "What`s the Use of Getting Sober (When You Gonna Get Drunk Again)." Also featured are Jordan hits that crossed over into the pop charts, including his rollicking take on Johnny Mercer`s "G.I. Jive" (Number One on both pop and R&B charts) and the proto-rock tune "Caldonia," which hinted at what was to come in the following decade from Little Richard and Chuck Berry. Throughout the compilation, Jordan`s fun-loving persona is at the fore, with his smooth, deft vocals and always-grooving sax lines revealing the reasons behind his remarkably wide appeal. (Leave it to Jordan to have a hit with "Stone Cold Dead in the Market," a bizarrely catchy tale of murder that also featured Ella Fitzgerald on vocals.) For an excellent introduction to Jordan`s peak years, #1S can`t be beat.
