The product description is for a different CD than the item pictured, which was Harry James "Swing Town". I bought this Harry James CD specifically for one impossible-to-find song, and I am pleased beyond compare for having this song alone, not to mention how great the rest of the disc is. I have been searching for the particular record in question on a 78 rpm for years, to no avail. I almost jumped through the screen when I found it on this CD! I had just looked through 34 pages of Harry James records looking for this record (again!), when I found two of this same CD -- the only two of their kind, and the only album with that song on it at all. I couldn't be happier, and that includes being pleased with a ton of other great classics included on it. A definite plus for any big band/swing collector!Read full review
By the year 1968, rock music delivered quite a 1-2 puch to American music scene. The songs featured in this volume of "Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits" are evidence of this. Archie Bell and the Drells scored a major hit with the song "Tighten Up"; John Fred & His Playboy Band topped the charts with "Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)", a take-off on the title of the Beatles' song "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"; Otis Redding's final song was "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay", recorded 3 days before he perished in a plane crash; the Rascals, previously the Young Rascals, had another hit with "People Got To Be Free"; Aretha Franklin shows why she is the Queen of Soul with "Chain Of Fools"; another favorite song of the year was "Green Tambourine" by the Lemon Pipers; the Box Tops continued with the hit "Cry Like A Baby"; a rock classic from 1968 is "Mony Mony" by Tommy James and the Shondells; the Bubblegum craze hit an all-time high with "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by the Ohio Express; Cliff Nobles & Company flooded the airwaves with horn-driven "The Horse". 1968 saw a major turning point in the music world, and it was ready to take another dramatic turnRead full review
The songs from this take me right back to the strawberry fields growing up in a small town in Oregon. These songs were the hits and after a few minutes of work, I would lay back in the berry row, look at the clouds and gorge myself on really sweet, big strawberries off the vine. The ride back to home included iconic berry fights and the inside of the bus looked like the inside of a horror movie scene. Aw, the smell of mud and berries, what is not to like when you are 6.Only thing wrong with this is it is over too quick but you hit replay and there you go...
