Description by OLDIES.com:

This continues the strand of R&B and country collections associated with Acrobat's highly popular "America's Greatest Hits" series, this one focusing on the top R&B records in the US Billboard charts during 1950. Features a host of well-known names like Louis Jordan, Johnny Otis, Jimmy Witherspoon, Nat King Cole, Ivory Joe Hunter, Dinah Washington, Wynonie Harris, Lightning Hopkins and Roy Brown, but also includes many unfamiliar names and records of which even enthusiasts of the genre may not be aware, and which will be welcome additions to their collections.
