While Joey Dee is generally looked upon as the quaint bearer of the twist to a mass audience (clean covers of R&B tunes palatable to White audiences), the truth is that Dee had a racially integrated band (in 1961, no less) that not only delivered the goods, but put some high voltage energy into the tunes as well.

That said, it's still a wonderful introduction to the music of this seldom-lauded rock & roll pioneer. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
