This new release from Bear Family centers around an artist who was cited as the most popular black female artist of the 1950s. She tragically died in 1963 at the age of 39.

I recently reviewed the first installment of "Destination Lust." I think this is the more consistent set of the two, but both have a lot of shining moments.

I have to say that I'm probably not the target demographic for this set. For one thing, the older pop-oriented music on here is often not really my kind of taste.
