Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the original cover and jacket notes excerpt.
From the back cover: Buddy Johnson has come a long way since his first big break in 1941 when he was playing piano in a Greenwich Village nightclub. He has played to standing room only in such famous dance emporiums as the Savoy Ballroom in New York City. In an annual poll conducted by the Pittsburgh Courier, Buddy was, because of his continuous bookings, dubbed "King Of The One-Nighters."
From Billboard - October 12, 1959: Lee Thomas and Ella Johnson share the vocal spotlight in this set. The Johnson band backs them all the way on a flock of blues and rhythm tunes. Buddy Johnson is also heard on some of the selections. Most of the tunes were cleffed by Johnson. Danceable set can find a market.
