It is difficult to know how to introduce this set other than to say that much of this music would have been on nearly every Chitlins Circuit bar jukebox in the 40's and well into the 50's although in the fifties the Soul and R & B tracks are mixed in in increasing numbers. In most of the South there is a tendency to mix the three somewhat indiscriminately, a movie hall concert might well include performers from all 3 genres and any given performer might well cover all three in a single night.
