The Majors emerged in the early 1960s as one of the finest vocal groups bridging Doo-Wop and R&B, known for their tight harmonies and Ricky Cordo's distinctive lead vocals. Produced by Jerry Ragovoy (famous for working with The Rolling Stones and Janis Joplin), their recordings captured the transition from streetcorner harmonies to sophisticated soul. This compilation represents their complete first-year recordings, including their rare debut LP "Meet The Majors" and bonus tracks from sister group The Versatiles.
