CHRIS POWELL and his
Five Blue Flames

IDA RED b/w DARN THAT DREAM
Okeh 6875

Promo. White Label 78 RPM Record

Condition: Very clean. Appears un-played.


One of the earliest of the many Philadelphia-based R&B acts signed to US Columbia in the late 1940s/early 1950s,
 and a great influence on the young Bill Haley, Chris Powell's Five Blue Flames was a local jive band that consisted of leader Powell on drums/percussion,
 (on recordings, however, Powell's musical skills were obviously felt to be too weak, resulting in the role often being taken over by a succession of session drummers)
 Harold "Duke" Wells on piano, Eddie Lambert on guitar, saxophonists Danny Turner and Leonard "Red" Spencer, and bass-player James Johnson.
The band switched from Columbia to the OKeh subsidiary, and bop trumpeter Clifford "Brownie" Brown joined the Blue Flames in late 1951
