About this product

Frankie Laine was one of the most popular singing stars of the post-war era, with a career in the singles chart that lasted over two decades. He was one of the many stars to emerge from the USA's Italian-American community, but he was very different from his peers, with a clarion voice and emotionally charged style which set him apart from the crooners who were his contemporaries. He was hugely versatile, starting as an R&B-influenced jazz singer, but becoming popular performing in a variety of styles, from ballads, western-themed material (especially movie songs), country, middle-of-the-road pop and other genres. He had a long career, from his first concerts with a marathon dance troupe in 1930, through to his final performance in 2005, but his first hit came in 1947, after which he racked up a string of chart entries through to 1969. This great-value 79-track 3-CD collection brings together every Billboard Top 100, Cash Box Top 20 and UK Top 50 chart hit which he achieved through until 1961, by which time he had had his last Top 20 US hit - it includes the hits he had performing duets with artists like Jo Stafford, Doris Day, and Johnnie Ray. He enjoyed huge popularity on both sides of the Atlantic, with No.1s in both the USA and UK, and the collection features many landmark classics, including the No. 1 hits InchThat Lucky Old SunInch, InchMule TrainInch, InchThe Cry of the Wild GooseInch, InchI BelieveInch, InchHey JoeInch, InchAnswer MeInch and InchA Woman in LoveInch. It's a great showcase for a unique and distinctive vocal stylist. Album Tracks 1. That's My Desire (Frankie Laine) 2. A Sunday Kind of Love (Frankie Laine) 3. Black and Blue (Frankie Laine) 4. Mam'selle (Frankie Laine) 5. On the Sunny Side of the Street (Frankie Laine) 6. Two Loves Have I (Frankie Laine) 7. Shine (Frankie Laine) 8. We'll Be Together Again (Frankie Laine) 9. Mo

Frankie Avalon was one of the teen stars to emerge in the post-rock 'n' roll era, as the moguls of Tin Pan Alley encouraged the music to evolve towards a lighter style of pop which had a broader appeal to the mainstream of middle America. Starting his recording career as a boy-star trumpeter in his mid-teens, he was signed by the Chancellor tag in his home town of Philadelphia, and between 1958 and the effective end of his chart career in 1962 he had 30 hits in the USA and UK, including the iconic No. 1s InchVenusInch and InchWhyInch. One his pop career began to wane he developed his movie acting, and became a ubiquitous star of 'beach movies' during the '60s. This great-value 61track 2-CD collection comprises tracks from his debut releases as a trumpeter for the 'X' tag in 1954, plus all his A and B sides for Chancellor during these years, along with selected tracks from his albums during this era, albums InchFrankie AvalonInch, InchSwingin' on a RainbowInch, InchThe Young Frankie AvalonInch, InchSummer SceneInch, Inch... And Now About Mr. AvalonInch, InchA Whole Lotta FrankieInch and InchItalianoInch, which often show another side to his talents as a song interpreter.

It's a comprehensive and entertaining overview of the career of one of the archetypal teen stars of the years immediately prior to the cataclysmic arrival of the British Invasion, and a showcase for his versatile talents as a vocalist across rock 'n' roll, teen ballads and sophisticated pop Album Tracks 1.
