Ruth Brown, Rockin' With Ruth (1984) r. 1950-59

Friday's lunch record is the fine collection of her early Atlantic recordings. She was a singer - songwriter  known as Queen of R&B. She brought a touch of class and pop to her hits. "So Long", "Teardrops From My Eyes" and "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean". She can burn a torch and also set the audience rockin' with her jump numbers. The YouTube sample song is "5-10-15 Hours" from 1952 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZxigLf3KU . . . bucko
