Editorial Reviews

Collectors have been looking for these two mid-'50s Columbia albums for a long, long time! Organist Griffin honed his chops accompanying silent movies, so tunes like It Had to Be You; St. Louis Blues , and Let Me Call You Sweetheart carry some of that charming, old-timey feel. A real find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ken Griffin On The Wurlitzer Organ, October 4, 2000

This review is from: Anniversary Songs/Skating Time (Audio CD)

We older citizens all remember Ken Griffin and his beautiful organ renditions. Though he died in the mid 50's at the untimely age of 46, the wonder of his music continues. We heard it at the skating rinks, on the radio, and from his numerous albums and singles. Five Stars is a conservative rating for these 24 wonderful songs in Ken's unique style.

Organ renditions of the old favorites are nearly unavailable today. This CD combines two of his most popular albums of these favorites. The albums were "Anniverary Songs" consisting of 12 songs including Because and The Anniversary Waltz. The other album is "Skating Time" which presents another 12 of his favorites such as Twelfth Street Rag, It Had To Be You, and ST Louis Blues. You will enjoy listening.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ken Griffin's 78s Classics, October 28, 2006

I wish there were a CD that have some Ken Griffin's old recordings from 78rpm records from a earlier organ era from the 1930's. My favorite organ song is "Tiger Rag", not the famous jazz one.
