Review by Giusy D'Aiello

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters' album Finger Poppin Time is a classic R&B album that showcases the band's dynamic sound and Ballard's soulful vocals. The album, released in 1960, features a mix of upbeat dance tunes and slow ballads that highlight the group's versatility.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track "Finger Poppin Time," which features a catchy melody and infectious rhythm that is sure to get listeners moving. Other notable tracks include the bluesy "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go" and the romantic ballad "I Love You, I Love You So-o-o."

Throughout the album, Ballard's vocals are powerful and emotive, and the Midnighters' instrumentation is tight and energetic. The group's harmonies are particularly impressive, adding depth and richness to the songs.

Knowing what young black men & women had to go through, to straighten their hair, it was so good to see that look disappear by'67 . The 1st real " Afro " I remember seeing was Angela Davis ; now that was one formidable women as it was--------but with that enormous Afro she so proudly wore ? Whew !! ------------------MJL< 76 y/o
