COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING THE BEST OF ' BILLY FURY ' JULY 17TH 2018.


THE BILLY FURY HIT PARADE...DECCA / LONDON.
Tracks played....

Maybe tomorrow / Collette / That's love / Halfway to paradise / Jealousy.
I'll never find another you / Last night was made for love / Once upon a dream.
Like I've never been gone / When will you say I love you / In summer.
In thoughts of you / Run to my loving arms.

It has all the hits of Billy Fury certainly, but put altogether it is all a little
dreary....that is not to say the Fury was not a distinctive singer, it's just
the material was a little lacking in the minds of the producers. " Halfway
to Paradise" and Jealousy " are standouts commercially and had excellant
and exciting arrangements....the rest....a little sixties deja vu.*******.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING 'BOBBY RYDELL'. JULY 10TH 2018.


THE BEST OF BOBBY RYDELL....ABKCO MUSIC  ( CAMEO PARKWAY)
Tracks played....

Please don't be mad / All I want is you / We got love / Kissin' time / Wild one.
Swingin' school / Volare / Sway / That old black magic / Good time baby.
I'll never dance again / The cha cha cha / Forget him.

Bobby Rydell "s career in music was shortened, like all others, by the emergence
of the Beatles and subsequent Liverpool groups covering the charts in all countries
with the Liverpool sound.   A tuneful singer whose initial "Kissin' time" was a rock
'n roll Masterpiece for every dancefloor. He had to revive old Dean Martin hits
with a latin rock beat to introduce a new sound and then travel to London to record
"Forget him" written and produced by Tony Hatch to lengthen his recording hits.
He then retired to Television and touring sixties shows. 25 of his releases are
recorded here all sounding like the early sixties but well sung and clearly recorded.********.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING RICKY NELSON. JULY 3RD 2018.

Travellin' man / Hello Mary Lou / Poor little fool / Lonesome town / Believe
what you say / I'm walkin' / Fools rush in / It's late / Never be anyone else but you
It's up to you / Young world / Garden party.

Every American and British hit from this young crooner/rocker who was never out of the charts
for four years. The emergence of the Beatles,etc, made a dent in his popularity and his recording
career slid until the early seventies when he re-emerged as Rick Nelson with early success
in a more country sound.  He was a good looking young man and popular with female teenage
audiences who loved the gentle crooning approach to ,both his up-tempo releases , and his
quiet ballads. Unfortunately his career was cut short by his untimely death in 1985.
