Le deuxième album de Donnie Elbert ; " Tribute To A King " n'est édité qu'en Angleterre sur le label Polydor Records 236 560 [ UK ] en 1968 . Il fera l'objet d'une réédition toujours en Angleterre sur le label Contour Records 2870 162 / 2870-162 [ UK ] 1972 . Un album essentiellement orienté sur le Rhythm 'n' Blues dans lequel j'ai ajouté trois singles édités en 1968 et 1969 , et surprise pour moi l'un de ces singles est axé Reggae ( je ne lui connaissais pas ce registre ) . Un lp que je vous conseille vivement .
