As his legacy is so fast the following companion label album (KM-CD-179) Spotlight on Leroy Kirkland, Good Gracious) continues the story with more wonderful music. The sleeve notes for the Songwriter's album Leroy Kirkland Thrill-La-Dill (KM-CD-176) will provide where available session information, and identified when he led the orchestra and arranged the session. The album is also programmed year by year to illustrate the changing direction of the music from 1952 through to 1962 with twenty-one songs being from the 1950s, and Kirkland was often in the hot seat as arranger and orchestra leader. By intention, we exclude his development years which were musically grounded in jazz, his instrumental recordings as Claude Cloud, and the songs with pop arrangements. We can proudly say we have dug a little deeper into the annals of music history and through intensive research, we can omit many titles which have been often reissued. The album begins in 1952 when he began writing exciting rhythm \u0026amp; blues rockers for soloists; Larry Darnell I'll Be Sittin', I'll Be Rockin', and Bobby Lewis, Mumbles Blues. Kirkland could vary his style and from 1953 he co-inked two stomping blues rockers for Sonny Terry, Hooray Hooray, and Hoopin' And Jumpin', and one year afterwards directed his craft on Jimmy\/Jimmie Newsome and two rockin' blues titles, Do That Thing, and I'm Afraid I Love You.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarry Darnell - I'll Be Sittin', I'll Be Rockin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Lewis - Mumbles Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonny Terry - Hooray Hooray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonny Terry? - Hoopin' and Jumpin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy Newsome - Do That Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmie Newsome - I'm Afraid I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagles - Don't You Wanna Be Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinah Washington - My Man's An Undertaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlonzo Scales - She's Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolores Ware - Thrill-La-Dill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Greer - Come Back Maybelline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Prestos - Looking for Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZilla Mays - Right Now 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJay Hawkins - Talk About Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlan Freed - Band Rock 'N Roll Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pearls - It's Love, Love, Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Brookes - You'd Better Move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrook Benton - Crinoline Skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Equadors - Stay a Little Longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Strollers - We're Strollin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mighty - Jupiters Your Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Five Keys - Your Teeth and Your Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Guy Good - Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fabulons Give Me Back My Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Hendricks Good Lovin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClyde McPhatter Whole Heap of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuth McFadden - Lovin' Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYvonne Baker and the Sensations - Party Across the Hall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260072724761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e KOKO-MOJO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSIC VIDEO DIST.***","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233173700910,"sku":"n4260072724761","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/7856\/0814\/files\/4187733-2958432.jpg?v=1762157063","url":"https:\/\/parkavecds.shop\/products\/koko-mojo-writer-series-leroy-kirkland-various-koko-mojo-writer-series-leroy-kirkland-various-cd","provider":"Park Ave CDs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
