| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Includes liner notes by Ron Furmanek and Steve Kolanjian. | | Digitally remastered by Joe Lopes (1988, RCA Studios, New York, New York). | | Personnel: Jim Reeves, Dinah Shore, Don Gibson, Eartha Kitt, Eddie Fisher , Eddy Arnold, Elvis Presley, Floyd Robinson, Hank Locklin, Harry Belafonte, Jesse Belvin, Kay Starr, Lou Monte, Mario Lanza, Neil Sedaka, Pee Wee King, P?rez Prado, Perry Como, Redd Stewart (vocals); Millard Thomas (guitar); Bill Regis (trumpet). | | Recording information: RCA Sound Studios, New York, NY. | | The 1950s are generally seen as the first blooming of rock & roll, but there was still an awful lot of pop music on the charts, and this set spotlights a large chunk of it. In between a breakthrough record like "Heartbreak Hotel" there was sprightly fare on either side of it, like Pee Wee King's "Slow Poke," Eddie Fisher's "Dungaree Doll," Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star," and Lou Monte's "Lazy Mary." Although Jesse Belvin ("Guess Who") and Neil Sedaka ("Oh! Carol") make appearances here, this is by and large a pop collection with only a smattering of the rock & roll style that would soon dominate the charts. Tracks by Dinah Shore, Mario Lanza, the Browns, Jim Reeves, Harry Belafonte, Don Gibson, the Ames Brothers, Kay Starr, Eddy Arnold, Perez Prado, and Eartha Kitt complete the package. ~ Cub Koda |
