Du Droppers - Talk That Talk! Best Of 1952-55 Du Droppers

Formed in Harlem in 1952 by gospel veterans Caleb "J.C." Ginyard and Bob Kornegay, The Du Droppers brought a mature, blues-drenched grit and sharp comedic wit to early vocal group R&B.

By combining sacred quartet harmonies with driving jump-blues rhythms, they created a blueprint that bridged gospel and early rock and roll.

“Talk That Talk! Best Of 1952-55” captures the group's finest moment across their celebrated sessions for Red Robin, RCA Victor, and Groove Records. Packed with top-charting R&B hits like "I Wanna Know" and "I Found Out," alongside classic cuts like "Can't Do Sixty No More" and "Dead Broke," this collection showcases their soaring lead vocals, thunderous bass work, and blistering sax-backed rhythms. Influencing everyone from Elvis Presley to The Drifters, Talk That Talk! is an essential document of a pioneering group who laid the groundwork for the modern R&B revolution.
