4.0 out of 5 stars A Brief But Pleasant Look Back, September 21, 1999

This review is from: Billboard Pop Memories: 1955-1959 (Audio CD)

As per usual, this ten-song compilation is over too quickly, but hey, it keeps the price down. All number one songs on this collection (with five years to choose from, they had BETTER find enough number ones!), with many highlights. "Sleep Walk" and "It's All in the Game" remain two of my favorite songs from this time period. "Moonglow/Theme from Picnic" and "Cherry Pink..." are two good instrumentals. However, they could have chucked "Unchained Melody" - not interesting enough. I'm not a big fan of "Love Letters in the Sand" either, but its inclusion is understandable. A very good collection for relaxing.

"IT'S ALL IN THE GAME" STILL STANDS UP AS ONE OF HIS BEST SONGS. IT MEANS ALOT TO ME CAUSE THAT'S WHEN I MET MY WIFE , 42 YEARS LATER WE STILL LOVE THIS SONG. A GREAT SINGER WHO DIED TOO YOUNG. ALL OF HIS SONGS WILL LONG BE REMEMBERED BY US WHO GREW UP IN THE BEST TIMES OF THE 50'S.

JACKIE WILSON WAS ANOTHER GREAT SINGER WITH HIS "REET PETITE" (THE FINEST GIRL YOU EVER WANT TO MEET).PASSED AWAY TOO YOUNG. THESE TWO SONGS WERE THE START OF 42 YEARS TOGETHER,OUR FAVORITES.

BACK IN THE EARLY 50'S THERE WAS A SONG THAT WAS BANED IN BOSTON BECAUSE THE LYRIC'S WERE TOO RISQUE. THE TITLE WAS "OH HAPPY DAY", NO ONE SEEMS TO REMEMBER IT, INPART "THE SUN IS SHINING OH HAPPY DAY NO MORE TROUBLES, NO SKIES OF GRAY, I NEED YOUR LOVEIN, TRULY YES I DO. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF THIS SONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. [e-mail]
