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.

Heard a LaVern Baker song on a local oldies radio station. Brought back memories of seeing and hearing her at Subic Bay NCO Club in the late 70s. Wife wanted to find a CD of her and this one filled that want! 40 songs (many never heard before) of her great voice for us to enjoy again.
