A beat that just will not quit...
Listen to guitar solo by Shuggie and the vocals of Johnny Otis in "Don't deceive me": transmitts cool grandeur.
"Back in early 1950ies, there were a handful of musicians, singers , writers and arrangers who mixed swing jazz riffs, blues shouting, gospel harmonies and R&B drumming and came up with a new sound called "rock'n'roll". In Los Angeles, Johnny Otis was THE man.
The Johnny Otis Show, whether live on stage, on records, on radio or television, has meant good-time rockin' R&B music, great musicians, new songs, and a beat that just will not quit." (Cit.: liner notes on back cover)
