| Beschreibung: | These 30 cuts spotlight the songwriting and recordings of Wayne Shanklin, a greatly esteemed singer/writer/producer/arranger/bandleader whose own releases have been wrongly overlooked in the CD age. His recordings of "Jezebel" (and Frankie Lane's), "Eyes of Green," "Company Money," "Country Doctor" and "Who Will Sing My Song" join "Hey Jacque" Eartha Kitt, "Johnnie's Comin' Home" Johnnie Ray, "Baby of Mine" Chordettes and more! Jasmine., Singer/writer/producer/arranger/bandleader WAYNE SHANKLIN is chiefly remembered for writing songs like 'Jezebel', 'Chanson D'Amour', 'Primrose Lane' and 'The Big Hurt', million sellers for Frankie Laine, Art & Dotty Todd, Jerry Wallace and Miss Toni Fisher, respectively. Although he was a considerably more prolific (and successful) songwriter than recording artist, Shanklin cut a highly-regarded LP, 'The Modern Minstrel', plus a couple of 45s, all of which appear on this special compilation. Also included are fifteen bonus tracks of other artists performing his songs, Eartha Kitt, Johnnie Ray, The Chordettes, The Whips, Johnny Krag, Heinie Beau, Allen Dare, as well as the aforementioned Laine, Todd, Wallace and Fisher.
