About This Item
Born in Louisiana, Jimmy Clanton was a rock 'n' roll era teen idol, who was regarded as the pioneer of what came to be called Inchswamp popInch, the product of Cosimo Matassa's legendary New Orleans studio that was also the source of Fats Domino's hits. Coming into the pop scene in 1957 after the first wave of pioneering rock 'n' roll stars, as teen stars provided a slightly different and more universally acceptable strand of the new music, he had a run of hits through into the '60s before his music was overtaken by the British Invasion. This great-value 62-track 2-CD comprises almost all his A & B sides from this era on Johnny Vincent's renowned Ace Records tag based in Jackson, Mississippi tag, and it's subsidiary Vin, along with all his tracks from the albums InchJust A DreamInch, InchJimmy's BlueInch, InchTeenage MillionaireInch & InchVenus In Blue JeansInch, not otherwise released on singles, plus selected tracks from his albums InchJimmy's HappyInch. It features his ten US hits from this era, including the pop No. 4 and R&B No. 1 InchJust A DreamInch, the pop No. 5 InchGo, Jimmy, GoInch and the pop No. 7 InchVenus In Blue JeansInch. It's a substantial and fairly comprehensive overview of what was the primary era of his pop career, and it's an excellent showcase for his particular style as a teen idol and for his distinctive brand of pop.
