Description
It showcases her combined talents as a fine R&B singer
Camille Howard was a jazz and boogie-woogie pianist and R&B singer from Texas, who came to prominence as a member of Roy Milton's Solid Senders as they enjoyed a run of hits in the mid-1940s before starting to record under her own name into the 1950s, having hits under her own name in the process, until she retired from the business with the changing pop music landscape of the time. This 54-track 2-CD set comprises selected A & B sides from releases with Roy Milton's Solid Senders and under her own name on the Pan-American, Miltone and Specialty labels from this era, plus unreleased Specialty recordings. It features the Top 5 US R&B hits with Roy Milton, 'Milton's Boogie', 'R.M. Blues', 'Thrill Me' and 'True Blues', plus her own R&B hits 'X-Temperaneous Boogie', 'You Don't Love Me', 'Fiesta In Old Mexico' and 'Money Blues'. It showcases her combined talents as a fine R&B singer, able to handle rocking groovers alongside atmospheric ballads, and skilful boogie-woogie pianist. The somewhat limited scope of the career she chose for herself perhaps prevented her from being more well-known, but she was a talented and stylish performer who merits more recognition than she has received.
