This is one of many compilations drawn from Paul Robeson's 1930s recordings for the British EMI label. Despite being referred to in the skimpy, often inaccurate liner notes as a "selection of his greatest performances," it mixes some of his best -- including "Ol' Man River" -- with the sometimes second-rate material he was given to record. Still, with 20 tracks and a running time near 58 minutes, it is an adequate collection if purchased for a discount price. Don't spring for it as a high-priced import, however; there are better domestic collections and better imports.

Будущий солист группы "Ottawan" Жан Патрик (Jean-Baptiste Patrick) с юных лет работал в шоу-бизнесе. Во время учёбы в школе на Карибских островах пел в хоре. После школы уехал во Францию, где создал свою собственную группу "Black Underground". Долгое время успех в музыкеобходил его стороной, пока, наконец, его пение не услышал известный композитор Daniel Vangarde. Он предложил ему свою помощь при условии, что Жан сменит название своей группы на "Ottawan". В результате первая же их композиция "D.I.S.C.O." (1979) стала хитом. А через два месяца сбылась заветная мечта Жана: он стал звездой "диско": композиция "T`es OK" (1980) была №1 во Франции, а её английский вариант "You`re OK" целых 20 недель не выходил из европейских TOP10. Известными песнями группы "Ottawan" были также композиции "Sha-la-la song" (1980), "Hands up!" (1981), "Crazy music" (1981), "Siesta for two" (1981), "Shubidube love" (1981), "A.I.E. is my song" (1981), которые сейчас широко распространены в mp3 в рубрика дискотека 80-х и ретро. За первые три года своего существования "Ottawan" продал около 17 млн. дисков. Вторым участником группы была девушка Жана - очаровательная Аннэт (Annette), приехавшая вместе с ним с Карибских островов.
