Witherspoon, Jimmy
Sings The Blues With Panama Francis And The Savoy Sultans
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1983 US original. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. A swinging blues session pairing Jimmy Witherspoon’s rich, expressive vocals with the punchy, big band–influenced backing of Panama Francis and The Savoy Sultans. The arrangements bring a lively, rhythmic drive that bridges blues, jazz, and early R&B.

Witherspoon’s relaxed phrasing and commanding tone sit perfectly within the band’s energetic setting, moving from slow blues to upbeat, horn-driven numbers. Dynamic, soulful, and full of swing, this album captures a classic meeting of vocal blues and big band tradition.
