Description

When Ric Cartey waxed the melodic ballad for the fledgling Stars, Inc. label in 1956 in Atlanta with guitarist Charlie Broome's Jiv-A-Tones in musical support, no one could have foretold that not one but two covers of Young Love Ric had written with his friend Carole Joyner would top the national hit parade in February of the following year.
Whaley Thomas Cartey died August 5, 2009 in Palm Harbor, Florida. Ric will always be remembered for his seminal creation, but this compilation proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was a great deal more to his extended legacy than that.
- Career-spanning compilation contains everything Ric Cartey cut for RCA Victor, NRC, El Rico, and ABC-Paramount, including his immortal Young Love and his many rockabilly classics
- Also contains pop chart-topping covers of Young Love by Sonny James and Tab Hunter and original versions of several other rare rockers that Ric Cartey covered
- Contains ultra-rare rocking singles on the Fox and Fraternity labels by The Jiv-A-Tones, Ric Cartey's one-time backing band, and Jiv-A-Tones leader Charlie Broome's impossibly hard-to-find early '60s solo single on O.E.K.
- Voluminous liner notes by Bill Dahl include in-depth interviews with The Jiv-A-Tones' Charlie Broome and Dean Stevens
- A long-overdue retrospective of one of Atlanta's earliest rockers
