Baby Washington

This special release includes 30 studio tracks, consisting of a selection of the sensational recordings Washington made for the oft-overlooked Sue, J&S, and Neptune labels, as well as for the major ABC-Paramount, between 1958 and 1962. Twelve of these splendid songs would conform Washington’s debut LP, the iconic That’s How Heartaches are Made, originally issued by Sue Records. All of these great songs have been remastered in this collector’s edition, which gives ample proof of Baby Washington’s versatility as well as her rightful place in the R&B and early soul pantheon.

PERSONNEL:

The orchestras of Marty Edwards, Bert Keyes and Sammy Love, among others.

Recorded in New York, between 1958 and 1962.
