Product Info
* Many specific areas of rock and roll music from the 50s and 60s have been mined by Ace, i.e. dance crazes, teen idols and rock instrumentals. Another interesting trend that peaked during this period was songs with girls' names.
* This fun CD will appeal to fans of music from the 50s/60s, to collectors who collect songs that have never been issued on CD (or are hard to find), and also those who may have been teenage romeos, having dated girls with names that are featured on this CD.
* The CD is a mixture: some obvious top 40 chart hits, a few lower-chart songs, some that are fairly obscure and never charted but are by pedigree artists, at least one top 20 song that has never been on CD and three songs in interesting versions by their writers.
* Back in the days when the songs were recorded, guys were more apt to take their womenfolk more seriously. Instead of being the source of booty calls and hook-ups, girls were loved ones who were given the dignity of names. These young ladies were longed for. The point is, they were personalised, even in song. They were loved, not just wanted. The feelings expressed here range from the passionate to the frivolous, even to the silly.
* Extensive sleeve notes by Billy Vera.
