Rockabilly Greats/75 Original Rockabilly Classic [Digipack / 3 CD]

The sultry voice of Alma Cogan charmed and seduced virtually the entire British population in the innocent post-war world of the 1950s. At least it seemed that way when Alma scored no less than twenty Top 30 hits in the UK pop charts from 1954 to 1961. They included the cheeky 'Dreamboat' a Number One smash for Alma in 1955. A whole generation grew up with her cheerful tunes ringing in their ears. Even today, aficionados around the world recall Alma with great fondness. Why not? Amidst today's gloom, there is no greater cure for depression than hearing her sing 'Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo', 'In The Middle Of The House' and 'Bell Bottom Blues'. Thanks to this essential 2CD collection of 40 of Ms. Cogan's very best hits, we can smile, laugh and singalong one more time.

It is impossible to mention every group on this 2CD compilation, which acts almost like a history of the genre from the 1930s through to the close of the '50s. Including the legendary Flamingos, one of the all-time great vocal groups; or the Four Aces, consistent hit-makers during the early '50s; the Mills Brothers one of the earliest vocal units on display here and The Ink Spots, who first recorded in 1935, who were probably the Brothers' biggest rivals during the '30s and '40s. Songs by the Everly Brothers, the Platters and the Chordettes make this collection a must-have for fans of the genre.

When producer Norman Granz brought Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong together, the results were never going to be less than enjoyable. Sure enough, the resulting albums proved to be highly popular releases and have remained so decades down the line. Featured here, on this Platinum Collection, are the three complete albums Ella & Louis recorded together including bonus tracks.
