Bobby Sherman never got much critical respect during the prime years of his career. Oh, he sold tons of records, to be sure, but the virtues of those recordings were eclipsed by his good looks and the publicity successes of his management, which got him on the cover of every teen magazine in the country, seemingly for four years running. Listening ...
25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits is subtitled "The Ultimate Collection," and it's hard to argue with that claim. It certainly qualifies as the most comprehensive collection on a single disc. The set is an overview of the entire bubblegum movement from the mid-'60s until its nominative demise in the early '70s. It includes most of the key tracks ...
The third volume of Rhino subsidiary Flashback Records' '70s Radio Hits series is focused on the late spring and summer of 1970, presenting ten Top 40 songs that entered the charts in that period, four of them gold records. Many of the artists are one- or two-hit wonders: "Tighter, Tighter" was Alive and Kicking's only Top Ten hit, as was R. Dean ...
The 37 minutes of prime early '70s radio fare on this, the third volume of Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, shows just how lucky AM radio listeners were in 1970-1971. The material runs the gamut from heavily produced pop/rock product like the Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" through Mungo Jerry's skiffle-like international hit "In ...
The title track is not to be confused with the Ritchie Cordell tune with which Tommy James & the Shondells hit the Top 20 in 1967; this Roger Atkins/ Helen Millercomposition was the theme to Bobby Sherman's short-lived television show of the same name, Getting Together. The team of producer Ward Sylvester and engineer Dick Bogert are back behind ...
In 2001, Collectables released Bobby Sherman/Portrait of Bobby, which combined two albums by teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman on one compact disc: Bobby Sherman (1969, originally issued on CBS) and Portrait of Bobby (1971, originally on Metromedia). ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide
Bobby Sherman's last two chart songs of the seven that entered the Top 40 between 1969-1971 appeared on Portrait of Bobby, a pink gatefold album with an easel to cut out and assemble, along with an offer to join the Bobby Sherman fan club. "Cried Like a Baby" was not the Box Tops hit from 1978 -- that was actually "Cry Like a Baby." This tune was ...
There aren't many smash hits on Pop in the '70s, Vol. 3 -- the best-known are a couple of disco hits, Silver Convention's "Get Up and Boogie" and Disco Tex & the Sex-O-Lettes' "Get Dancin'" - but that isn't the main problem with the collection. Rather, it's the decision to lead off with extended club versions of Santa Esmeralda's flamenco-ized ...
Good Time Gold collects upbeat hits from the '50s and '60s, including the Beach Boys' "Surfin' Safari," the Regents' "Barbara Ann," Bruce Channel's "Hey! Baby," Martha Reeves' "Heat Wave (Love Is Like A)," and the Turtles' "You Baby." Songs by Jimmy Dorsey, the Vogues, the Clovers, and Aaron Neville complete this entertaining oldies sampler. ~ ...
Christmas Crooners features a variety of well-known crooners performing ten holiday favorites. Some of the more noteworthy moments include Bing Crosby's "O Come All Ye Faithful," Perry Como's "I'll Be Home for Christmas," Nat "King" Cole's "Jingle Bells," Gene Autry's "Frosty the Snowman," and Bobby Sherman's "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." All ...
Jukebox Hits of 1969, Vol. 1 collects some of the year's most memorable pop and rock hits, including the Archies' "Sugar Sugar," Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," Three Dog Night's "One," Canned Heat's "Going up the Country," and Motherlode's "When I Die." Songs by Frankie Laine, Tommy Roe, the Grass Roots, and Mama Cass complete this ...
Hits of the Sixties is a collection of 30 popular songs from the '50s and '60s. Although there are definitely some songs added to pad the collection, this is mostly made up of very familiar pop songs from the era. What this collection features the most are excellent songs from female pop stars of the era. Betty Everett, the Shangri-Las, the ...
Nineteen tracks of pure bubblegum music. The songs aren't bad, just unbelievably silly. If you didn't care for "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by Ohio Express when it first came out, you won't like it any better in CD format. Some tunes are more innocuous than others, like Rare Breed's "Come and Take a Ride in My Boat," "Capt. Groovy and His Bubblegum Army" ...
Rhino's '70s Smash Hits series condenses two of the label's more popular, extensive, and best series -- Soul Hits of the '70s: Didn't It Blow Your Mind and Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day -- down to six discs. Though each volume of '70s Smash Hits includes only ten songs, they make for a decent alternative for more casual music fans who ...
This two-fer assembles both of Bobby Sherman's 1970 releases on the Metromedia label. Buoyed by the pop smash "Easy Come, Easy Go," Here Comes Bobby is one of Sherman's more engaging LPs. In other words, it's still bubblegum, but its flavor is long-lasting. Credit contributions from top-drawer songwriters including John Sebastian ("She's a Lady") ...
Super '70s 3 collects some of that decade's most popular songs, including Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime," Jerry Corbetta's "Green-Eyed Lady," Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," and the Grass Roots' "Temptation Eyes." Songs by Brewer & Shipley, the Fortunes, Clarence Carter, B.J. Thomas, and Mark Lindsey complete this adequate retrospective of '70s ...
