2010 three CD collection. Back in the 1950s, before Rock 'n' Roll changed the face of Pop forever, a handsome British crooner had an adoring army of female fans swooning as their romantic hero. He was, appropriately, called Dickie Valentine, and for most of that momentous decade, his popularity saw him topping the charts as well as the bills of variety shows around the country, and he was regularly voted Britain's favorite male vocalist. This collection brings together every single he released during the '50s, plus the bonus of his original 1949 recording with Ted Heath not released until the '80s. It will be an essential collector's item for anyone who was an avid fan of Dickie's work, especially since some of the tracks are appearing on CD for the first time. 81 tracks. Acrobat.
