“The Shirelles And King Curtis Give A Twist Party” by The Shirelles and King Curtis - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1962Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s

TJR says

Shirelles in R n B roots territory with the ace saxophonist of “Yakety Yak” fame and occasional singer; it’s a brassy and soulful set but it’s more playful than gripping. The Shirelles only actually appear on 6 of the 11 tracks, with 2 outright King Curtis tracks and 3 instrumentals. “Welcome Home Baby” is the top track, despite the schmaltz of the lyric.
