The “5” Royales Story – Think | Part Two 1957-1962

• THE “5” ROYALES fused elements of Gospel, Jump Blues, R&B and Doo-Wop together to become a hugely influential link in the early evolution of R&B, R&R and Soul.
• They were billed with the “5”" in quotation marks, in acknowledgement that they generally comprised six members.
• The second in a two-volume set, this compilation traces their career from 1957 to 1962, and also includes a handful of sides recorded by bass singer/guitarist/songwriter Lowman Pauling, billed as El Pauling, in conjunction with the group’s longtime pianist Royal Abbit.
• A number of regional and national hits are featured including a trio of songs, ‘Think’, ‘Dedicated To The One I Love’ and ‘Tell The Truth’, which were successfully covered by James Brown, The Shirelles, and Ray Charles, respectively.
• This is a companion release to “THE “5” ROYALES’ STORY • PART 1, BABY DON’T DO IT, 1951-56” (JASMCD 3313).
