|
The hit parade in the 1950s was a wonderful crazy quilt of musical styles. Legendary performers in this 57-track collection (plus a bonus disc of a dozen additional hits) include Dean Martin ("You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Patti Page ("Old Cape Cod"), the Crew-Cuts ("Earth Angel"), Connie Francis ("Where the Boys Are"), the McGuire Sisters ("Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight"), the Kingston Trio ("Scotch and Soda"), Paul Anka ("Put Your Head on My Shoulder"), Louis Prima and Keely Smith ("That Old Black Magic"), the Chordettes ("Lollipop"), and the Tempos ("See You in September"). Also spotlighted are No. 1 hits by the Platters ("Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"), Les Baxter ("Unchained Melody"), Rosemary Clooney ("Come On-a My House"), Johnny Mathis ("Chances Are"), and Frankie Avalon ("Venus"). "A valuable collection, both because it includes a wealth of chart-toppers and because it unearths quite a few of the nuggets that rarely make it to anthologies of this sort. As a summation of '50s pop, it's an excellent overview."—All Music Guide
