The Original Twist: 14 Top-Ten R&B Hits

Overview

14 Top-Ten R&B Hits contains songs by the original artists, but unfortunately not the hit versions. While a few of the remakes are adequate, they aren't in the same league as the originals. Since other compilations are available containing the definitive versions of these songs, don't waste your money on this set. ~ Al Campbell
