BOBBY VEE "the singles album" vinyl, 1980

one of many US artists who had a few major hits in the 1960s and a lot of singles that really didnt set the charts on fire...
Bobby started as a stand-in guy with The Crickets after Buddy's tragic death...
went on to have a lot of singles,some bad, but mostly okay ones in the mid 1960s...
"take good care of my baby", which i just found, out was his only US #1 hit...
he also recorded the original "more than i can say"...i much prefer Leo Sayer's version though...
all up, a dissapointing 'best of' set that only just scrapes in to the "like" range of scores...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

1. suzie baby *

BRENDA LEE "the definitive collection" cd,2006

Brenda had her first hit when she was just 12 years of age in 1956...
"dynamite", her first worldwide hit earned her the name "little miss dynamite" due her height of just four foot,nine inches...
had some 37 hits on the US in the 1960s,only surpassed by Elvis,Beatles,Ray Charles and Connie Francis...
her songs covered a wide range of genres from pop,rock,rockabilly,country, and ballads...
here is a collection of twenty eight hits spanning the years 56-79...
this one gets five loves,sixteen likes and five dislikes from me giving an overall score of 2.0
pretty hard to go past her haunting ballad "im sorry" as best track, she recorded this one aged 14 and her vocal range is really sublime, her execution of the lines with feeling and emotion is way beyond her youthful age, a very good vocalist who is still performing today,amazing really(69yrs of age with 57 years of hits behind her!)

from the album:

im sorry

never heard the Wanda album
the only track I did hear might not have been so bad had I not seen her perform it
that was bad, seeing a 75 year old woman trying to rock and roll

DAVID ESSEX "rock on" vinyl record, 1973.

actually thought i liked this one more than i did prior to this listen...
the whole thing just sounds stuffy(as in stagnant), it hasnt aged very well IMO, even the mega-hit "rock on" sounds dated now,
very little on here to say i like, even his cover of Paul Simon's "for emily" sounds flat and uninspired...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: streetfight
best track: rock on

tracks:

1. lamplight **
2. turn my loose *
3. on and on *
4. streetfight *
5. rock on **
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W--TB8vkRfg video
6. ocean girl **
7. bring in the sun *
8. for emily,wherever she may be *
9. we all insane **
10.tell him no *
11.september 5th **

3s=0
2s=5
1s=6
