| Description: | Der produktive, vielseitige BOBBY DAY genoss eine der verworrensten Karrieren im R&B und R&R, sang mit unzähligen Gesangsgruppen und nahm unter vielen verschiedenen Pseudonymen auf. Er ist vielleicht am bekanntesten für die Original-Hitversion von "Rockin' Robin", ein Millionen-Seller aus dem Jahr 1958 und ein Song, der im Laufe der Jahre unzählige Cover/Revivals erfuhr. Er war auch mit 'Little Bitty Pretty One', 'Buzz-Buzz-Buzz', 'Over And Over', 'The Bluebird, The Buzzard And The Oriole', 'That's All I Want', 'Gotta New Girl', 'My Blue Heaven' und 'Gee Whiz' in den Charts. Sie alle sind auf dieser Kompilation enthalten, die Bobbys Weg von seinen Jump-Blues- und Doo-Wop-Auftritten in den frühen 50er Jahren bis zu seiner späteren Solokarriere nachzeichnet, und zwar in acht verschiedenen Gruppen, darunter The Hollywood Flames und Bob & Earl, und dreizehn Plattenfirmen. Viele dieser frühen Seiten sind praktisch unmöglich auf CD zu finden, was dieses Set wirklich essenziell macht. - ..
