Recorded in 1961 and 1962 at the height of his powers and released by Kent in 1967, this definitive album is widely regarded as one of BB's greatest albums! You can't talk about BB without listening to this album!
This album was compiled and released after he had already moved to ABC, but it produced six R&B chart hits. All the tracks, including the intense title track, are excellent, and it truly exudes the dignity of a champion. The intensity of slower tracks like "5 Long Years" is unique to BB of this era.
