Digitally re-mastered two CD collection from the ground-breaking Rhythm & Blues outfit. This set presents all their Apollo recordings together with a disc of 5 Royales cuts, curios and outtakes. The 5 Royales were the very first group to merge secular and sacred musical influences into a coherent whole, laying down the future guidelines of Soul music. These CDs contain some of the very best early soul and R&B ever recorded and the Royales' music still has the power and the passion to move US all.
