Five Red Caps - 1943-1945

25 original Beacon tracks from one of the great "jive" vocal groups of the '40s! Includes the hits I've Learned a Lesson I'll Never Forget; Boogie Woogie Ball, and Just for You, plus no shortage of poundin' boogie woogie from pianist Romaine Bearden and guitarist Steve Gibson.
