Album Review
The 20 songs that make up Session 55: 1936-2000 are re-recorded favorites associated over the years with Les Brown and his Band of Renown.

This Doc Hollywood release not only provides a fresh look at these classics, thanks in part to Rawls contribution, but also pays tribute to Brown's 65 years of performing.
