Description
2 ALBUMS ON 1 CD 24-BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. 16-PAGE BOOKLET.
This quintessential CD includes two of Benton’s finest albums which were originally released on the Mercury label and have been long unavailable until now. Lie To Me: Brook Benton Singing the Blues (1962) chronicled his move into the blues and the soul ballad while the brilliant Endlessly (1959) featured the classic title track (which became a hit single) plus sublime renditions of some standards from The Great American Songbook such as “Because of You” “Time After Time” and “Blue Skies” all delivered with Benton’s silky mellow baritone voice. These two soulful late-night masterpieces have been remastered and packaged together in this collector’s edition which also contains 4 bonus tracks from the same period.

BROOK BENTON lead vocals plus:
Boots Randolph (saxophone) Bill Justis (trumpet) Charlie McCoy (harmonica) Harold Bradley (guitar) Bob Moore (bass) Hargus “Pig” Robbins (piano) Ray Stevens (organ) Buddy Harman (drums) The Merry Melody Singers (backing vocals) among others. Further personnel information is detailed inside booklet.
Orchestras conducted and arranged by Fred Norman and Ray Ellis.
Recorded in Nashville and New York City between 1958 and 1962.
Original recordings produced by Shelby Singleton and Clyde Otis.
