Rhino Hi‐Five: Big Joe Turner

~ Release by Big Joe Turner (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The last track, "Chains of Love" is the 1959 version (2:37), with dramatic strings and chorus vocals, and a faster tempo than the original 1951 version (3:21) with pianist Van Walls. Spotify mislabels the track as the version with Van Walls; the Apple Music release labeling is ok.
