In the middle of the rock & roll era -- when history tells us that all things Elvis ruled the airwaves -- all 18 of the tunes assembled here were very big hits on the pop charts. And pop hit records they most assuredly were and are, with nary a hint of rock & roll wildness to be found in tracks like Perry Como's "Tina Marie," and Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat," Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me," Eddie Fisher's "Dungaree Doll," Vaughn Monroe's "In the Middle of the House," Julius LaRosa's "Lipstick and Rubbersole Shoes," and Lou Monte's "Lazy Mary." Selections from Tony Martin, Tony Perkins, Jesse Belvin, Jim Reeves, Brook Benton, Rod Lauren, Johnny Restivo, Ray Peterson, Joe Valino, Teddy Randazzo and the Twin Tones (teenagers love them!) complete the package. An interesting collection of what was happening in the hit parade right when rock & roll was the dominating force in pop music. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
