Post by Roger FordPost by SavoyBGGroup 2 is now open. Please rank these from best to worst.
Johnny Mae - Blues Rockers - 8
Excellent flipside of the just as excellent "Calling All Cows" on
Excello that DID make the 1955 Singles Battle.
Only Earl "Early" Dranes survives in this later Lazy Bill Lucas-led
conglomeration of the group from the outfit that recorded years
earlier for Aristocrat (and then Chess).
Original "Blues Rocker" Willie Mabon was,of course,long gone to a
successful solo career.
Very good flip of their most memorable 50's release "Oh What A Nite".
Sadly none of their 50's records made it to this side of the pond
where they never had a release until they signed with Chess in the
60's
Post by Roger FordI Never Would Have Made It - Roy Milton - 6
After a long and successful stint on Specialty Milton left in 1955 to
join Dootsie Williams for whom he recorded this one (I personally
prefer the "I Want To Go Home" flip) .
Note for Milton fans looking for future entries in these tournaments
---NONE of his post-Specialty releases made any of the Battles

If this is what a hangover is like I'm sure glad I don't drink!!
