Editorial Reviews

The year was 1957, and in September, a 13-year-old English boy named Laurie London entered London's famous Abbey Road Studios to record a song, which like Sputnik, launched by Russia the following month, reverberated around the world. A few months later that song, He's Got The Whole World In His Hands, had sold more than a million copies. He recorded nearly 30 songs for the Parlophone label, and this CD makes available for the first time all of his U. K. recordings.

What a voice on this kid !
I was nuts for him in 1958,I bought both cd's of his recently.
Frankly,I think you have to be a real fan to enjoy the whole album,but he really does have a great voice for such a young kid.
