Additional Details

A classic early "Rock 'N Roll"--- Rhythm and Blues revue. When the producers of shows this early put them together, they really had no idea at all what constituted "Rock 'N Roll." This revue for example starred Duke Ellington's orchestra and Lionel Hampton, on the same stage with Rock 'n Roll stars like The Clovers, and Ruth Brown. It also starred "Little Buck," Mantan Moreland, and the Delta Rhythm Boys.
