Erskine Hawkins Jukebox Hits 1940-1950 CD New 824046401122

This was our first in a new series that offers the American Juke Box/Harlem Hit Parade/Race Record/Rhythm & Blues chart hits by a selection of the biggest stars of the 1940s and 1950s swing, jazz, jump blues and R&B scenes. Most of these performers have never had their biggest hits compiled in one place and for many years the likes of Count Basie and Duke Ellington were considered above the vulgarity of hit records but these collections will feature all the 78s they made that were money spinners on Jukeboxes across the world. From Alabama, trumpet-player Hawkins, dubbed the 20th Century Gabriel, is best-known as the composer of the classic Tuxedo Junction, which is of course featured on this package.\n\n \n \n\nDisc 1\n\nTrack\n\nTitle\n\nArtist\n\n1\n\nTuxedo Junction\n\nErskine Hawkins\n\n2\n\nWhispering Grass\n\nErskine Hawkins\n\n3\n\nDolemite\n\nErskine Hawkins\n\n4\n\nFive O'Clock Whistle\n\nErskine Hawkins\n\n5\n\nSong Of The Wanderer\n\nErskine Hawkins\n\n6\s
