Billy Eckstein had his greatest hit singles in America, with just a few....No one but you,and I apologise, here in Britain. he also had great success teamed with Sarah Vaughn and the slow hit Passing Strangers. Slow because it enterd the charts several times and eventually became an Easy Listening standard. During the late fifties and sixties and seventies he had little chart success exept with his version of "Gigi" from the film of the same name. His output was mainly albums in his later years which generally sold well in America but were often not released in Britain.
