The Early Hits 1949-54
Esther Mae Jones was little, all right, when she first made her splash—she was 13 when Johnny Otis produced her debut session. Her records bore the names Esther Phillips or Little Esther, and this not-so-little CD collects 52 of this R&B superstar's early hits from 1949-1954.
