{"product_id":"syl-johnson_complete-mythology_2016_mdl","title":"Complete mythology","description":"It took four years to create what remains today the most accomplished project from the Numero Group label. These passionate historians focused on the first fifteen years of the legendary musician's career. Visionary, the work of Syl Johnson, born Sylvester Thompson, contains both hit songs and darker gems to rediscover. Originally from Holly Springs, Mississippi, Syl first played and sang with bluesmen in the 1950s before recording with Jimmy Reed on the Vee-Jay label in 1959. But it was his sessions for Chicago's Twinight label starting in 1967 that marked a real turning point in his career. There he mainly worked as a producer and is behind a large number of hits like \"Come On Sock It To Me\", \"Different Strokes\" (one of the most sampled songs in rap), \"Is It Because I'm Black\" (2nd place on the Billboard R\u0026B chart in 1969). The box set consists of 6 LPs and 4 CDs (81 tracks in total). 28 singles have been remastered, 10 tracks are completely unreleased. Bill Dahl, a renowned music historian, wrote in detail about each song. There is also a 52-page booklet full of unpublished photos, a sampler index, and the complete discography of this Soul Music genius.","brand":"Syl Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57379873325400,"sku":null,"price":23470136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0825764103213.jpg?v=1779892647","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/syl-johnson_complete-mythology_2016_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
