Sealed 1977 Compilation. "Little Willie John Was A Unique Talent, With A Voice That Conveyed Pain And Hurt At An Emotional Pitch Seldom Encountered In Pop Music In The 1950s, Or Since. John's Impassioned, Gospel-Tinged Vocals Influenced Singers As Diverse As Sam Cooke And John Lennon And Paved The Way For The Concept Of Soul." - Steve Leggett, AMG.
