• Track Listing

This Harlem vocal group’s smash Speedoo hit the pop charts December 10, 1955—almost a month before it hit the R&B charts. That had never happened to an R&B single before; their wild jump tunes set them apart, and these are 34 of the best (with a 44-page booklet): Speedoo; their 1959 hit Peek-A-Boo, plus Sugar Sugar; Why; I Wonder Why; No Chance; Down the Road; Jay Walker; Lucy; Cool It Fool, and more!
