The Essential Recordings

LaVern Baker was an immensely adaptable singer, easily able to move between Pop, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jazz, R‘n’B and Gospel, with her huge, emotive, soulful voice, creating a unique melting-pot of music. This 40 track collection celebrates an extraordinary talent who paved the way for female singers in Rock ‘n’ Roll and Soul music, and whose talent recognised no boundaries.
