Mr. Shing-A-Ling has long been considered one of Lou Donaldson's best albums from the late `60s and features a who's-who of great soul jazz players including Blue Mitchell, Jimmy "Fats" Ponder, and Leo Smith. Donaldson's funky version of "Ode to Billie Joe" is the most sampled track in Blue Note Records history. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
