Description
This auction is for an Imperial Label 45 rpm recording of "Baby's Gone" 45IM-680/"Sister Lucy" 45IM-681 by Bobby Mitchell and The Toppers. This group was part of the wave of New Orleans rock and rollers who followed in the wake of Fats Domino and Lloyd Price. Although the group had limited success and broke up in 1954, Mitchell remained a popular figure in New Orleans R & B for 35 years. Many of his early recordings were influenced by the dominant musical personalities of his day, including Roy Brown, Roy Hamilton and especially, Fats Domino, which was understandable since they had the same producer and were on the same label. His voice had a distinct quality all its own, however, which became recognizable once he became comfortable in the studio. The Toppers, who ceased working with Mitchell after mid-1954, were a somewhat unpredictable group musically, mostly owing to their young ages. With Dave Bartholomew's top session men backing them up, however, their records were solid New Orleans R & B at its best, and many of the records are classics of the sound of that era. Bid now to add this great one to your collection.
