"In the summer, the scene would move en masse to Ostend, Belgium's equivalent to Blackpool.

ALVIN ROBINSON SHINE ON

Publié par
 
CHARLY RECORDS  1988                        CRB 1181 




Born in New Orleans in 1937. His first successful release was on Tiger records USA,
 a subsidiary label owned by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller. They moved Alvin
 to Red Bird for his next release; 'Fever'/ 'Down Home Girl'. Down Home Girl was 
the 'b' side and played more often at UK and Belgium soul clubs, as Fever by 
Little Willie John would take precedence on a DJ's play list, due to the fact that 
these clubs (Wheel/Blue Note) preferred originals. That said, 
Alvin's version of Fever is extremely good.
He played on Dr John Gumbo album.
