Assemble a couple of dozen or so fine songs, blend them with the arranging talents of the likes of Riley Hampton, stir in a cupful of great voice, add a large measure of brimming over personality, bake in a hot oven and you have a Sugar Pie. A Sugar Pie DeSanto that is. This collection of the earliest 45s of the fabulous blues and soul singer also contains the full content of the LP she released on Checker Records in 1962. The LP consisted of tracks recorded for the famed Bay Area producer and writer, Bob Geddins. Sugar Pie DeSanto became a popular performer in the UK and across Europe and the photographs from some of those tours are featured on the cover of this superb set.
