{"product_id":"johnny-desmond-singles-collection-1939-58","title":"Johnny Desmond- Singles Collection 1939-58 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn Giovanni Alfredo de Simone in Detroit 1919, Johnny Desmond was one of the substantial cohort of Italian-American crooners, most notably Frank Sinatra, who were such an important part of the popular music of the post-war era. He studied music before turning to night-club singing, and in 1939 formed a vocal trio called The Downbeats, changing their name to the Bob-O-Links when they joined Bob Crosby's Orchestra, with whom he had two hits before joining Gene Krupa as featured vocalist, and had another hit with Krupa. He was with Glenn Miller's military orchestra during WWII, returning to showbiz as a solo singer after the war, and forged a successful career, having hits through into the rock 'n' roll era, although he never attempted to compete in that musical metier. This 50-track 2-CD set comprises a few recordings with the bands of Bob Crosby and Gene Krupa, along with selected A \u0026amp; B sides of his singles on the RCA-Victor, MGM and Coral labels during this era, including recordings with Don Cornell, Alan Dale, Buddy Greco, Eileen Barton, The McGuire Sisters, Jane Russell and Monica Lewis. It features all his 20 and more career chart entries, including the Top 10 hits \"Woman\", \"Play Me Hearts And Flowers\", \"The Yellow Rose Of Texas\" and \"The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart\". It's a varied showcase for his talents as a big band vocalist, top class ballad singer, novelty pop singer, and skilled interpreter of the repertoire typical of the era, and an entertaining introduction to an artist who has not had the attention which his success merits\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Forgot About Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo You Care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo In Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Those Wonderful Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't You Remember Me?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo You Love Me?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Know Enough About You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuilty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP.S I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile The Angelus Was Ringing (Los Trois Cloches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Winds And The Seven Seas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Cry Joe (Let Her Go)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC'est Si Bon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicnic Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Say I Love Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Bushel And A Peck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause Of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr And Mississippi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Glad I Gave It Up For You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want To Be Near You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands Across The Table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFestival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNina Never Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay Where You Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gang That Sang \"Heart Of My Heart\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePine Tree, Pine Over Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCling To Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Zoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast Side, West Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackward, Turn Backward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe High And The Mighty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Wife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Own True Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Song From Desiree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay Me Hearts And Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTogetherness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's A Sin To Tell A Lie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearnin' The Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Too Shall Pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Yellow Rose Of Texas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm So Glad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen Tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Girl Named Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Just Want You To Want Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA White Sport Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnniversary Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 824046339029\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Acrobat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541443789021,"sku":"824046339029","price":145.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3983068-2718333.jpg?v=1772600482","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/johnny-desmond-singles-collection-1939-58","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
