Hit: 5 Stars
Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1960 gives us ten great rock and roll hits from 1960. The sound is excellent and the artwork is very good. This brings back memories for people who heard these tunes on the radio; and newcomers to this type of music will love it for sure!
Joe Jones kicks it off with his catchy hit "You Talk Too Much." Joe sings this very well with excellent diction; and the musical interlude is catchy and somewhat jazzy as well. The musical arrangement makes good use of the brass and percussion especially.
Listen also for Chubby Checker performing a smash hit, "The Twist." Chubby broke a lot of records when he came out with this tune. "The Twist" practically implores you to dance along with it as the melody is cool, catchy and very rhythmic. I predict that you'll enjoy "The Twist" time and time again; and the background vocalists do a great job of singing in perfect harmony. "The Twist" also uses the percussion very well; what a hit!
The Drifters turn in a romantic, beautiful number with their classic "Save The Last Dance For Me." There is excellent drums and percussion and this adds a subtle Latin twist to the arrangement. The Drifters perform "Save The Last Dance For Me" very well; and this is definitely one of the major highlights of this album.
"Sweet Nothings" by Brenda Lee gets the royal treatment as Brenda delivers this romantically without a superfluous note; and there's also The Hollywood Argyles doing their "Alley Oop." "Alley Oop" is quite catchy and very nicely done; I always enjoy hearing this number.
The CD ends well with "Stay" by Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs. Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs perform "Stay" with panache and it's a pretty awesome number. The falsetto singing enhances the natural beauty of the number.
Overall, this is one great album for people who want to remember some great tunes from 1960. Of course, people just becoming familiar with this style of rock and roll will like this, too.
