Deep Dish Delicacies Vol. 59 {1959 Special}


When I first started the Deep Dish Delicacies series I seriously did not expect to see it exceed 50 volumes, however, I can't say as I hadn't at least entertained the notion. And long thought that if the series did reach 60+ volumes, I would make corresponding yearly installments. 
 
Now while the precise origins of "deep soul" per say, is a matter of conjecture, it certainly wasn't 1959 as soul itself wasn't really recognized as a genre until early 1960. Soul like doo-wop, rock 'n' roll and a lot of 60s pop music, was born of rhythm and blues. And some of it clearly paved the way for the impassioned balladry we refer to as deep soul. This installment explores those avenues and could just as easily be a Darling Dear Special as the tracks are mined from former volumes of that series, plus I've included a handful of cuts not previously featured. All selections have been remastered, enjoy.
