About The Record:

Hearts of Stone, by the Bill Black Combo, was released as a single from his Greatest Hits album. The song reached No. 20 on the Hot 100 Chart and No. 22 on the Hot R&B Chart. Black was a musician and bandleader who is noted as one of the pioneers of rock and roll. He played in Elvis Presley's early trio, The Blue Moon Boys. Black later formed Bill Black's Combo. The Combo's sound of dance-able blues became a popular accompaniment for striptease dancers. Another characteristic of the Combo was Reggie Young thwacking on the guitar with a pencil. Eight of the recordings by Bill Black's Combo placed in the Top 40 between 1959 and 1962.
