1959 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW. FEBRUARY 16TH 2016.

1959....25 YEARS OF ROCK AND ROLL.....Now deleted.

Tracks played.....

Oh Carol...Neil Sedaka / Way down yonder in New orleans...Freddie Cannon / It's late....Ricky Nelson / Reveille Rock...Johnny & the Hurricanes / The wonder of you...Ray Peterson / Cathy's clown...Everly Brothers / Stagger Lee...Lloyd Price / Poor me...Adam Faith / A very Precious love...Doris Day / Sleepwalk....Santo & Johnny / Maybe tomorrow....Billy Fury / Dance with me...The Drifters / Charlie Brown...The Coasters.

Unfortunately deleted now, all this proves that in 1959 America was top of the charts, in this case, with poor back-up from Adam Faith and Billy Fury. It didn't change till the Beatles and the LIverpool sound emerged in the early sixties.

COLIN HOLMES ILL THIS WEEK NO SHOW ON TUESDAY LAST.

 Due to Colin Holmes  illness on Tuesday there was no Easy Listening show. He returns on Friday
morning for " Tudno talks" and we will back next Tuesday evening for his normal Easy Listening show.

PATTI PAGE US HITS 48-62 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JANUARY 19TH 2016

PATTI PAGE..THE COMPLETE US HITS 1948-1962....WWW.ACROBAT MUSIC.NET (3CDS.85 TRACKS)

Tracks played...
Left right out of your heart / Fibbin' / Trust in me / Two thousand,two hundred and twenty three miles / One of us will weep tonight / I wish I'd never been born / A city girl stole my country boy / Mom and dad's waltz / You'll answer to me / Go on home / Most people get married / The boy's night out.

Amazingly with a three Cd set covering eighty five tracks there are still some Patti Page hits missing.
All my love ( from the forties) and Hush Hush sweet Charlotte ( from the sixties ) so the title the Complete Hits is not quite accurate. A lot of country chart hits are included  as well as good standard vocalizing and curious novelty hits. A bargain for the price and for Patti Page fans perhaps some missed releases from the days of singles.
