Love Me

The first singer whose voice and style i totally fell in love with Bob Dylan. Johnnie Ray was the first pop artist. the first to experience fan hysteria on an epic scale. The missing link between Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Some even consider Johnnie Ray to be the father of rock and roll. An American, possessing a unique, emotionally intense vocal style who would become hugely popular both at home and in Britain, Johnnie Ray enjoyed no less than 27 single hits between 1951-57. Our 24 track compilation comprises his best and most significant recordings including the monster single Cry which has sold 35 million copies and cuts from his momentous London Palladium performance. Johnnie Ray literally went from being a prince to a pauper. His life story is one of the most amazing and tragic to ever unfold under the spotlight of pop music and national scrutiny. He was the missing link between the smooth vocalists of the big band era and the more raucous rock and roll performers that were on the mid-fifties horizon; the link between Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Some even consider Johnnie Ray to be the father of rock and roll.
