Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her: The Singles Collection 1957-62 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her The Singles Collection 1957-62 Ray Peterson, born in Texas in 1935, was a singer with an extraordinary four-octave range, enabling him to reach extremely high notes, and that distinctive talent enabled him to get a recording contract with RCA after he moved to Los Angeles. He had a number of hits, the biggest and most memorable of which were with two very different landmark songs - the teenage tragedy saga InchTell Laura I Love HerInch, and the dramatic balled InchThe Wonder Of YouInch, later taken to new heights by Elvis Presley. This 36-track 2-CD collection comprises most of his A and B sides on the RCA and Dunes labels from this era, which include the titles from his album InchTell Laura I Love HerInch. It features his big US hits with the original versions of InchThe Wonder of YouInch and InchTell Laura I Love HerInch and his other hits from these years, including InchGoodnight My LoveInch, InchAnswer Me My LoveInch, InchCorrine CorrinaInch and InchMissing You. He was a highly distinctive and notable talent, who was one of the many artists whose career was submerged by the British Invasion, and this collection offers a enjoyable overview of his work from the primary era of his career.
