Tell Laura I Love Her

Tell Laura I Love Her (1960) more music like this

by Ray Peterson

Collectables' reissue of Ray Peterson's RCA debut album, Tell Laura I Love Her, naturally features the hit title track, perhaps the definitive teen death song of the early '60s. The remainder of the disc contains the other 11 songs on the original record, which are all in a similar albeit less morbid vein. Apart from the singles "The Wonder of You ...

Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's

Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Shout Factory's three-disc set of vocal pop hits from the '50s (and early '60s) is a valuable collection, both because it includes a wealth of chart-toppers and because it unearths quite a few of the nuggets that rarely make it to anthologies of this sort. As a summation of '50s pop, it's an excellent overview, providing an extended look at the ...

The Ultimate Doo Wop Collection [Collectables]

The Ultimate Doo Wop Collection [Collectables] (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

If the contents of this two-CD set looks familiar, it's because it was originally issued in Collectables' History of Rock series as The Doo Wop Era, Part 1 and Part 2. Oddly, it's the second volume in the set that contains the majority of garden variety hits like "In the Still of the Night," "Book of Love," "Long Lonely Nights," "Get a Job," and ...

Doo Wop 45s on CD, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Doo Wop 45s on CD, Vol. 1 is a single disc containing 25 tracks that dig a little deeper into the genre and haven't been burned out from years of over-exposure. While a few well-known chart-toppers are included ("In the Still of the Night," "One Summer Night," and "Get a Job"), it's a treat to have access to songs by the Danleers, the Nutmegs, the ...

Sing Their Greatest Hits

Sing Their Greatest Hits (1991) more music like this

by The Orioles

This Orioles hit package is about equal to any other that's available, but pales next to the Bear Family boxed set. The now defunct Murray Hill also had a great Orioles box several years ago. Save your money and grab the Bear Family if you really want the real story on The Orioles. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Till Then: The Very Best of the Classics

Till Then: The Very Best of the Classics (2001) more music like this

by The Classics

Till Then: The Very Best of the Classics collects 20 tracks from this often neglected harmony quartet. The Classics' inability to stay with one particular record label for any length of time proved to be their downfall. Between 1959 and 1964, the Classics recorded for at least a half-dozen different labels. Definitive versions of the hits ...

The Best of the Mills Brothers [MCA] (1965) more music like this

by The Mills Brothers

Another entry in MCA's Millennium Collection, this 12-track set pares down the brothers' extensive discography to their very best known tunes. Highlights include "Paper Doll," "Lazy River," "Till Then," "You Always Hurt the One You Love," and "The Glow Worm." A marvelous introduction to this group. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Smash Records first released this collection in 1964 when James Brown made his highly publicized moved from the King label. An odd album; outside of a few funky numbers, the material consists of standards -- songs more commonly sung by Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, such as "I Wanna Be Around," "Mona Lisa," "Come Rain or Shine," "Nature Boy," ...

Doo Wop Shop [Ace] (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

As a 30-song compilation of doo wop from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s, this suffers both from inconsistency and unfavorable comparisons to numerous superior doo wop anthologies. There actually is a lot of good music here, but it's hard to figure what exactly the audience is for a disc that mixes classic familiar doo wop hits with smaller hits and ...

Cab Driver: A Salute to the Mills Brothers (1972) more music like this

by Hank Thompson

Hank Thompson's 1972 tribute to the Mills Brothers is an interesting idea: 10 country and western swing versions of songs associated with the popular black vocal group. Thompson's own compositions were often melodically sophisticated, so he has no trouble negotiating these songs that have become, in many cases, pop and jazz standards. The ...

Breakin' in Another Heart (1965) more music like this

by Hank Thompson

At a glance, Breakin' in Another Heart looks like a half-hearted effort, since the title track is a re-recording of one of Thompson's decade-old hits and the album was recorded at the end of his long tenure with Capitol Records, but it is not a throwaway. The dozen songs are split 50/50 with ballads on side one and Thompson's originals on side two ...

Their Original & Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this

by The Mills Brothers

The Mills Brothers learned the tradition of barbershop quartet harmony in their hometown of Piqua, OH, perfected it in vaudeville during the 1920s, and used it as the foundation for fascinating innovations in jazz singing in New York during the 1930s. They were enormously popular during the 1940s and early '50s as wholesome interpreters of ...

This import disc captures a club tour of western Canada (not just the Cave Club in Vancouver, as a greeting to Alberta halfway through reveals) by the Mills Brothers in the late 1950s. Performing at least two sets, the trio (Harry, Donald and Herbert Mills) sings many hits, including the then-recent "Yellow Bird," and is enthusiastically received. ...
