Soul music is often defined as the moment when gospel and blues met and formed a new sound. Ray Charles is often given credit for this, but there were others, most notably the “5” Royales, who had immense success as a live act, but never sold as many records as such a pioneering group should have. With the release of the 131-track collection Soul & Swagger, the Complete “5” Royales, the group has finally gotten the recognition they’ve deserved, and long-time fan Ed Ward has the story today.

"5" Royales - Slummer the Slum (by shortrax)

[sonic-boner]

The 5 Royales - Catch That Teardrop

From the 1962 single.

I can barely find any information about this, but it has that vibe of some unknown track ready to be featured in a Tarantino movie.

What do you all think of Dylan Leblanc? His first two records have shown promise, but unfortunately I still think this is his finest moment. Always nice when Christgau agrees:

"However, my favorite performance is "Come On & Save Me," which joins fifty-five-year-old Sharon Jones--who, backed by her excellent Dap-Kings, has spent a decade proving that she's not James Brown because she just doesn't have the songs/riffs/beats/whatever those things were--with a kid, twenty-one-year-old Dylan LeBlanc. I was so put off by LeBlanc's low-consonant flow that I walked out on it at the Mercury Lounge earlier this year. Here he's tuneful, funny, and sexy, all because Lowman Pauling wrote him a song.

Here's my review of Dylan's newest album, Cast The Same Old Shadow
