In the beach music scene of Virginia in the late '60s, nobody could shake a dance floor like Bill Deal and the Rhondells. A horn-powered band like Blood, Sweat & Tears or Chicago but with an eye firmly scoping out the club floor at all times, Deal and his octet knew their audience cold. And that audience liked to dance, dance, dance to their favorites and Bill and the band responded with hoof shaking rearrangements of Tams singles and other shag-worthy material. While seldom remembered today, Deal and the band racked up five chart singles in a year's time, and those well crafted 45s ("What Kind of Fool [Do You Think I Am]," "May I," "Swingin' Tight," "I've Been Hurt," and "Nothing Succeeds Like Success") form the core of this 15-track collection's appeal. Not even remotely hip, creative, or innovative, but as grade-A floor-moving music of the time period, this compilation is a delightful invitation to the dance. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
