It's an entertaining showcase for a great R&B entertainer
R&B and jump blues singer Billy Wright, as well as having a career that involved several visits to the US R&B charts, is notable for having been a significant and formative influence on Little Richard.

This 43-track 2-CD collection comprises the A and B sides of his releases on the Savoy, Atlanta, Peacock and Carrollton labels during these years, plus selected recordings from this era which were unreleased on singles - he did not record again after 1959. It includes his Top 10 R&B hits 'Blues For My Baby', 'You Satisfy', 'Hey, Little Girl' and 'Stacked Deck'. It's
