Synopsis

Album Description

Subtitled - The Best Of The Googie Rene Combo. The son of noted songwriter Leon Rene, Googie cut a slew of piano/organ instrumentals between 1956 & 1966 for his father's respected Class Records. With the accent on rinky dink R&B, the material also includes out-&-out rockers, tender ballads, & groovy soul workouts (including 'Smokey Joe's La La'). First ever reissue album on LP or CD. 26 tracks. Ace. 2003.

"if you saw the list of great L.A. studio guys on this CD from L.A. in the 50's, you would run out and buy it right now. I'm not gonna let the cat out of the bag, though....."
