Gale Storm - I Hear You Knockin': The Singles & Albums Collection 1955-60 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Gale Storm was a movie and TV actress and singer who had a successful career in those arenas through the 1940s and into the '50s, starring in more than thirty films and in the long-running TV series InchMy Little MargieInch. She was performing on a TV variety show in 1954 when she was seen by Randy Wood, president of Dot Records, who signed her immediately as a recording artist. She had a relatively brief career, with her active involvement only lasting about four years, but in that time she had eleven hits as she adapted to the new musical environment as rock 'n' roll changed the pop landscape. This great-value 60-track 2-CD set comprises just about all the A & B sides of her Dot singles during these years, plus all the tracks from her albums InchGale StormInch and InchSentimental MeInch and selected titles from the InchSoftly And TenderlyInch album. It features all her eleven US chart entries, including the No. 2 InchI Hear You KnockingInch, and her other Top 10 hits InchMemories Are Made Of ThisInch, InchTeen Age PrayerInch, InchWhy Do Fools Fall In LoveInch, InchIvory TowerInch and InchDark MoonInch. It's a substantial and entertaining journey through her pop career, showcasing her versatility in being able to handle traditional early '50s mainstream pop alongside more contemporary rock 'n' roll-styled material, as well as sophisticated pop standards and gospel on her albums Album Tracks 1.
