Billy
Eckstine
needs
little
introduction.
Known
as
"Mister
B"
-
his
creamy
bass-baritone,
his
chiselled
handsomeness,
and
his
smart
dressing
guaranteed
pop
stardom
in
the
post
war
years,
and
few
will
dispute
that
he
was
the
first
African-American
pop
superstar.
He
became
the
first
black
entertainer
whose
sex
appeal
got
across
to
white
America.
It
came
not
only
because
of
his
good
looks
but
because
it
was
a
part
of
his
musicality,
showmanship,
and
personality.
The
way
he
crooned
a
ballad
made
the
screaming
bobby-soxers,
white
and
black,
crowd
the
stage
door
at
every
venue
he
performed
at.
The
durable
talents
of
Eckstine
spanned
not
only
the
decades
but
the
ever
changing
musical
tastes
of
different
generations
and
he
recorded
well
into
the
1980s
having
started
his
solo
career
as
a
"pop"
singer
and
finishing
as
a
"jazz"
singer.
Billy
Eckstine
was
part
of
an
elite
circle
of
"classy"
artists
and
his
25
performances
in
this
collection
are
a
testament
to
that.
Most
are
appearing
on
CD
for
the
very
first
time.
