by
Various Artists
For the fifth volume in Ace's Radio Gold series (which collects American pop and rock tunes that hit the British charts in the late '50s and early '60s), compiler Marty Wesker has focused on lighter pop material rather than the more rambunctious rock sides that dominated earlier volumes. There are a few potent rockers on board -- most notably ...

The Best of Ruth Brown [Rhino]
(1996)

by
Ruth Brown
For those who want a cheaper and more concise collection of her best Atlantic cuts than the two-CD Miss Rhythm, this superb 23-track CD has the cream of her '50s work, including no less than 19 Top Ten R&B singles. Charting her evolution from her jazzy debut, "So Long," through jump blues and early rock & roll, it also adds a bonus of two ...

40 Golden Greats

by
Cliff Richard
Following on from four past single disc collections of hits collections, Cliff Richard's first ever U.K. double album offered a straightforward recounting of, not necessarily his 40 greatest hits, but certainly his 40 best known. No statistical ground rules set out its contents. Rather, the compilers went by instinct and, perhaps, a well-developed ...

by
Various Artists
Including 25 tracks of the biggest female-fronted pop of the decade, Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s is a good compilation choice for fans attempting to fill in the gaps, as well as those who are simply historically curious. It must be granted that a gaping stylistic chasm separates some of the material here; after all, the same disc takes ...

Leiber & Stoller
The second of Ace Records' chronological three-volume history of legendary songwriters and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller picks up the story in 1956 and carries it through 1962 (the first volume, called Hard Times: The Los Angeles Years, covers 1951 to 1956), with the center shifting to New York City. This isn't a greatest-hits survey of ...

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

by
Laurie London
Fourteen-year-old Laurie London was as successful as a one-hit wonder could be -- his debut single and only hit, a rendition of the spiritual "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," made it all the way to the top of the charts in the United States. He was also a one-hit wonder in his native England, but a less spectacular one because the song ...

by
Ruth Brown
Ruth Brown's jazzy, blues-inflected and undeniably sultry voice almost single-handedly built Atlantic Records into a soul and R&B powerhouse in the 1950s, charting some two-dozen singles for the label between 1949 and 1960, the most notable of which are collected in this two-disc set of her Atlantic material. Brown's "So Long" hit almost out of ...

Dark Moon is an 18-track collection of Gale Storm's mid-to-late '50s Dot recordings that includes all but one of her hits and a few previously unreleased tracks. Storm's version of Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers' "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," with her flawless enunciation and pop backing, makes Pat Boone sound like a soul man. Storm's hit covers ...

Comprised of two prior Atlantic collections, this 26-track disc features the cream from Brown's hitmaking stretch for the label during most of the '50s. Along with such smashes as "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean," "Lucky Lips," and "Teardrops From My Eyes," there are plenty of minor gems to be had like "Somebody Touched Me" and "I Can See ...

Cliff in the 60's

Cliff Richard
This well-selected gathering of 16 of Cliff Richard's biggest 1960s hits eschews anything but the most successful, memorable, and -- it must be said -- marvelous of his decade's output. Bare chart statistics suggest that Richard went increasingly off the boil as the 1960s progressed, and a chronological rendering of his every release would back ...

Despite a very attractive budget price, The Singles Collection offers far more Cliff Richard, and far less information, than the casual listener is ever likely to need. The booklet is bare-bones chart fax 'n' figures, and the packaging is as minimal as a picture-sleeve 45. But that's precisely how it ought to be. This is a collection for the ...

The Hot Shots play stripped-down rockabilly and rock & roll revival sounds with a touch of skiffle on Jubilee!, mixing a few originals with covers of old classics by Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, and others. It's not a sound that differs a whole lot from American revivalists with a similar instrumental lineup, until ...
