Joanie Sommers was the other big female crossover (records and TV) star on the Warner Bros. roster besides Connie Stevens, and just like was the case with Connie, very few of her single sides have come out on CD and the only previous compilation of her work came out only in Japan! This set includes some really cool work from one of the greatest voices in American pop in the 60s – a singer whose style went way beyond most of her contemporaries! Right from the start, Joanie's got a range that's breathtaking – a voice that's equally comfortable in jazz, rock, or mainstream vocals – and which is often recorded by Warner Brothers with some impeccable production that brings it out even more! There's usually a slight sense of echo, a dash of drama, and some well-constructed rhythm patterns used on these early 60s singles – very top-shelf studio work that's made these Sommers singles sparkle for decades – even though most of them barely cracked the charts at the time! The package is a treasure trove of great girl pop from a bygone age – and with a focus on singles, you'll find plenty that hasn't already hit the reissue market – including a duet with Ed Kookie Byrnes! Includes Kookie’s Love Song with Edd Byrnes and the Mary Kaye Trio; One Boy; I’ll Never Be Free; Be My Love; Why Don’t You Do Right; Ruby Duby Do; Bob White; I Don’t Want to Walk Without You; Seems Like Long, Long Ago; Piano Boy; Serenade of the Bells; Makin’ Whoopee; What’s Wrong with Me; Johnny Get Angry; Theme from “A Summer Place;” When the Boys Get Together; Passing Strangers; Goodbye Joey; Bobby’s Hobbies; Memories, Memories; Since Randy Moved Away; Little Bit of Everything; Henny Penny; June Is Busting Out All Over; Little Girl Bad; Wishing Well; Goodbye Summer; Big Man; I’d Be Soo Good for You; I’m Gonna Know He’s Mine; If You Love Him; I Think I’m Gonna Cry Now; Don’t Pity Me; My Block; The Great Divide, and Talk until Midnight.
