Alley-Oop - 30 One Hit Wonders - US Pop! [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

Presenting '30 One Hit Wonders - US Pop!' - a fun compilation of records which provided the only chart entry for its respective performer. This volume concentrates on the US top 100, between the years 1955-1962 and features an eclectic mix of artists and musical genres, from Doo-Wop to R&B, from R&R to novelty songs, from death discs to embryonic soul. Includes million-selling, #1 records like The Elegants' "Little Star", and The Hollywood Argyles' ultra-cool title track, to barely remembered, semi novelty items like Billy Graves' "The Shag (Is Totally Cool)", Lonnie Russ's "My Wife Can't Cook" and Rex Allen's preposterous "Don't Go Near The Indians". Also features much loved Doo-Wop classics like The Penguins' irresistible "Earth Angel" (often described as America's favourite radio Oldie), Johnnie & Joe's lilting "Over The Mountain, Across The Sea" and The Edsels' irrepressible "Rama Lama Ding Dong", amid a myriad of others.
