The 5 Royales: The "5" Royales - Rock (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 31 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

  • With the fantastic Five Royales, we introduce another significant element in the transformation of African-American music from gospel to R&B to soul in our 'Rocks' CD-series. 
  • Bear Family outlines the vocal quintet's journey from a pure gospel group to one of rhythm 'n' blues' most successful formations.
  • From their beginnings on Apollo Records to their outstanding recordings for King, we deliver the quintet's best powerful songs.
  • The energetic playing of guitarist Lowman Pauling, Jr. influenced later peers such as Steve Cropper, who was instrumental in shaping the Stax sound in the '60s.
  • Competent and meticulously researched liner notes by Chicago black music expert Bill Dahl in the richly illustrated booklet - 6-page digipak.

Like Clyde McPhatter and Ray Charles, The “5” Royales played a seminal role in combining melismatic gospel vocals with rhythm and blues lyrics and instrumentation to help invent soul music.  The powerhouse vocal quintet from Winston-Salem, North Carolina started out belting spirituals exclusively, but after signing with New York’s Apollo Records in 1951 detoured onto a secular route. They were unabashed rockers, as Bear Family’s new compilation of their sides makes abundantly clear, from their earliest Apollo classics (1953’s R&B chart-topper Baby Don’t Do It and the delightfully ribald Laundromat Blues are prime examples) through their prolific heyday on the King label. 

Their principal source of material, Lowman Pauling, Jr., unleashed his previously undocumented lead guitar work from 1957 on so lethally that it became a prime component of the Royales’ attack, slashing through their ’57 hit Think and deeply influencing Stax guitar king Steve Cropper’s developing style. The unholy marriage of sanctified and secular never rocked harder than when The “5” Royales were positioned behind a microphone!

The "5" Royales

I'm With You

Egal wie viele Sessions sie für das in Cincinnati ansässige Label King Records aufnahmen, The "5" Royales konnten nie das glorreiche Gospel-Feeling aus ihrem erdigen Output entfernen.

Das Quintett aus Winston-Salem, North Carolina, war während ihrer frühen säkularen Tage beim New Yorker Apollo-Label enorm erfolgreich (ihre "Baby Don't Do It" und "Help Me Somebody" erreichten 1953 beide die Spitze der R&B-Charts; die Flip-Version von "Crazy, Crazy, Crazy" sowie "Too Much Lovin'" und "I Do" lagen im Laufe der Jahre 53 und 54 dicht dahinter). Aber als die Royales 1954 zu King wechselten, blieben die Hits aus, trotz der ständigen Präsenz des kirchlichen Leadsängers Johnny Tanner und der immer stärker werdenden Leadgitarre von Lowman Pauling, ihrem Hauptsongwriter.

Das Quintett schaffte es schließlich 1957 mit Tears Of Joy und dem mitreißenden Think (später mit einem funkigeren Groove von James Brown wiederbelebt) zurück in die R&B-Hitparade. Ihr Dedicated To The One I Love (mit Johnnys Bruder Eugene Tanner an der Front) lieferte die Vorlage für den späteren Hit der Shirelles. Jimmy Moore und Obadiah Carter blieben im Refrain standhaft, so wie sie es seit ihrem '51er Apollo-Debüt getan hatten, als sie noch eine Gospelgruppe waren, The Royal Sons Quintet.

Obwohl die Royales normalerweise in Kings Hauptquartier in Cincy (oder gelegentlich in New York) aufnahmen, fand ihre Session am 3. Februar 1960 in Miami in den Criteria Studios statt. Johnny fackelte Lowmans intensives I'm With You ab und tauchte seine Leadstimme in heilige Inbrunst, während Paulings Gitarre einen wogenden Unterbau lieferte und die Royales hypnotisch sangen. Die stürmische Kehrseite, Don't Give No More Than You Can Take, und beide Seiten ihres King-Abschieds, Why und das von der Gruppe generierte (Something Moves Me) Within My Heart, waren durchdrungen von purer Holy Roller-Güte.

Nach ihrem Abschied von King unterschrieben die Royales bei Home of the Blues in Memphis, wo sie von 1960 bis '62 blieben (das Logo lizenzierte einige ihrer Master an Vee-Jay und ABC-Paramount). Nach einem Termin '63 in Nashville für Todd Records nahm das Quintett '64 unter der Aufsicht von James Brown für Smash die Titel Baby Don't Do It und I Like It Like That neu auf. Lowman versuchte in den frühen 60er Jahren mit fünf 45ern für Federal unter dem Namen El Pauling in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Pianisten Royal Abbit den Durchbruch zu schaffen. Pauling starb am 26. Dezember 1973 in Brooklyn, seine umwerfende Axt hat ihm nie die Bewunderung eingebracht, die er verdient hätte. Der ebenso spektakuläre Johnny Tanner starb am 8. November 2005. Als einer der ersten R&B-Acts, die mutig Gospel in ihre Attacke einfließen ließen, waren die "5" Royales einer der Gründerväter des Soul.

Customer evaluation for "The "5" Royales - Rock (CD)"
21 Sep 2021

A well-fed album with many excellent tracks!

Featuring one of the acknowledged best doo-wop groups, Bear Family presents the rockiest tracks by the "5" Royales. Hailing from Winston-Sa- lem, North Carolina, the group started out singing gospel and later moved into rhythm'n'blues. On this album, which covers the years 1952 to 1962, we get tracks from Apollo, King and Home of the Blues. Guitarist Lowman Pauling was also a source of inspiration for Steve Cropper. Like Clyde McPhatter and Ray Charles, the "5" Royales played a crucial role in combining melismatic gospel singing with rhythm and blues lyrics and instruments to invent soul music. The powerhouse vocal quintet from Winston-Salem, North Carolina started out- ending with spiritual songs, but after signing to New York's Apollo Records in 1951, they went on a secular path and scored their biggest hits in the first half of the '50s on Billboard's rhythm'n'blues chart with songs like "Baby Don't Do It" (#1, 1953), "Help Me Somebody" (#1, 1953), "Crazy, Crazy, Crazy" (#5, 1953), "Too Much Lovin'" (#4, 1953), "I Do" (#6, 1954), "Tears Of Joy" (#9, 1957) and "Think" (#9, 1957). The 32-page booklet features several exquisite color images and the text is compiled by Bill Dahl. A well-fed album with many excellent tracks that I think will go down well with doo-wop fans.

Hervorragend!

Im Übrigen halte ich Ihre Veröffentlichung der „5"Royals-CD für derartig hervorragend, dass ich sie mir sofort besorgt habe, obwohl ich bereits im Besitz eines Großteils der darauf enthaltenen Titel bin (-muss ja auch mal gesagt werden)
