Description
Frankie Vaughan was an all singing and dancing star of the '50s whose popularity was not affected by the arrival of Rock and Roll, and this set proves just why that was.
It includes his '50s hits plus some B sides, with some appearing on CD for the first time and even some that were unreleased in the UK. Hits include "Istanbul", "Happy Days and Lonely Nights", "Tweedle Dee" and "Seventeen" plus his No. 2 hit "Green Door" and No. 1 "The Garden of Eden". Funnily enough "Give Me the Moonlight", which was the song he was best known for and the one that became his trademark was never a big sales hit! Frankie Vaughan was reputedly the first "Frankie" to go to Hollywood, so sit back and listen, or if you feel inclined don your top hat, tails and pick up a cane and enjoy this great artist all over again.
