Product Description
From Amazon.com
This mellow-toned singer and pianist came to prominence in the mid-'40s as part of Johnny Moore's Three Blazers. Moore's brother Oscar was a member of Nat King Cole's trio, a group that greatly influenced the direction of the Blazers. With Moore's fluid guitar and Brown's mellifluous voice, the Blazers pioneered the refined, jazz-influenced West Coast school of blues. 1945's "Driftin Blues" brought the trio national attention, but after recording a handful of tunes under his own name (with the Blazers still behind him), Brown broke away for good and rolled up a series of R&B hits for Aladdin, ending with the 1956 classic "Merry Christmas, Baby." With a deft piano touch and a rich, sultry vocal approach, Brown brought blues to the lounge. --Marc Greilsamer

Everyone should own a copy of this one., 10 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Driftin' Blues: The Best of Charles Brown (Audio CD)
I was saddened to read of Charles Brown's passing two weeks ago.My favorite of his was his 1961 Christmas album on King.
This album won't disappoint you. It's best appreciated when you want to relax.
