| | Fats Domino Imperial Singles, Vol. 3: 1956-1958 CD Fats Domino Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Recorded between 1956 and 1958. Includes liner notes by Rick Coleman.
Although Fats Domino was not a showman on par with Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis Presley, the music he played was no less important to the development of rock & roll. This collection documents Domino's most famous singles. "I'm in the Mood for Love" is a jazzy B-side that resonates just as beautifully today as it did in 1957. On this selection, Domino's singing invokes the New Orleans tradition, and, on the song's bridge, a saxophone section answers each vocal phrase with sweetly harmonized riffs.
"Whole Lotta Loving" is more overtly rock & roll. This '58 song climbed all the way to Number 2 on R&B charts and Number 6 on the pop charts, reinforcing Domino's crossover appeal. In fact, this simple, contagious dance track--replete with kissing sounds--demonstrated yet again that Domino was much more than just an R&B fad. However, it was "Blueberry Hill," recorded two years earlier, that set the stage for Domino's enduring legacy. This loping 12/8 ballad combines boogie-woogie, blues, and rock & roll to stunning effect. But what makes this lyric of bittersweet love so successful is Domino himself; his bouncy, charismatic voice is truly heartwarming.
2003 reissue after a short absence from the Ace catalog. The chronological anthologizing of all the As & Bs of Fats' 45s for Imperial reaches Vol. 3 & an incredible run of hits. All the A-sides here charted & most of the Bs made a showing too. This is when the fat man was king. 30 tracks recorded between 1956-1958 with UK & US chart positions & a 12-page booklet with even more cool memorabilia & photos.

| | Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are? CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Imperial Singles, Vol. 3: 1956-1958 CD music
$10.45
After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation.
The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as ...

| | Bing Crosby Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings CD (1956) Remastered
Imperial Singles, Vol. 3: 1956-1958 songs
$12.65 
Fred Astaire did a classic session with Oscar Peterson for Verve (Clef) back in 1952. In 1963, it was Bing Crosby's turn to re-establish his jazz credentials by doing the obligatory date for Norman Granz. In truth, this is a pretty easygoing session, even if then-hotshot arranger Buddy Bregman wrote his usual hard-swinging charts. But with Bing Crosby, could the results be anything but easygoing? Since jazz vocal expert Will Friedwald's first choice for up-to-date Crosby, 1957's BING WITH A BEAT, is so far unissued on CD, this Gold Disc will just have to do.
Though Crosby's voice does show signs of wear and tear--this is 1963, after all--he breezes his way confidently through a choice set of Great American Songbook classics, including four by Rodgers & Hart. Bing also steals a page from his friend Fred's well-thumbed book by jauntily covering "Cheek to Cheek," "They All ...
