Ollie Hoskins was the lead singer of the Dixie Nightingales, a Gospel group, which became Ollie & The Nightingales when they signed with Stax in 1968. From there they scored hits with "I Got a Sure Thing," "You're Leaving Me," and "I've Got a Feeling." Hoskins went solo at the turn of the decade, billing himself as Ollie Nightingale and scoring a couple of R&B chart items ("It's a Sad Thing" and "May the Best Man Win") in 1971-72. The Nightingales soldiered on, recruiting singer Tommy Tate to replace him in the studio. Nightingale remained a popular blues and soul singer around Memphis.

The late Ollie Nightingale's recordings always capture one's attention, even when the material is mundane. Ollie Style contains some prime cuts, including bawdy blues tales like the eight-minute-plus "I'm Gonna Turn This Bed Over" and midtempo Southern soul beauties like "I'll Work for You," on which Nightingale sings "I'll work for you like a Georgia mule" to a lilting beat, accompanied by E. Nelson and Bertram Brown on background vocals. He gets things moving on "Booty Scoot," which appeared on a previous album but gets recycled and remixed for maximum effect here. Ollie Style is not without its humdrum moments -- the pop/country ballads "That's What You Are to Me" and "I'm Going to See You Again Tonight" display Nightingale's range but detract from his strengths, making him sound too smooth and pretty. The swaggering "I'm Good at What I Do," however, is right up his alley. Overall, a good effort, and a fine introduction to Nightingale's work.
