The Definitive “5” Royales is a project comprising three double CD sets, bringing together all known recordings of the “5” Royales and their songwriter Lowman Pauling. Volume One covers the Home Of The Blues, Federal and Todd recordings between 1960 and 1963, along with the very last private tapes they made in the 1990s. Volume Two brings together all the singles they recorded for Ohio-based King Records during their six year stay from 1954 to 1960. Volume Three presents all their Apollo recordings together with a disc of “5” Royales cuts, curios and outtakes. The “5” Royales were the very first group to merge secular and sacred musical influences into a coherent whole, laying down the future guidelines of soul music. These CDs contain some of the very best early soul and R&B ever recorded and the Royales’ music still has the power and the passion to move us all. Long may it continue. Sleeve notes for all sets by John Ridley.
