Bobby Darin
Sings Ray Charles [ Hallmark / CD - released 25/Feb/2013 ] 'I'm proud to say that I was on the Ray Charles bandwagon when it was just a baby-carriage; even before the first album came out I was listening to his single releases.

Bobby Rydell
All Hits By Bobby Rydell [ Hallmark / CD - released 14/Jan/2013 ] The title All The Hits By Bobby Rydell is something of a misnomer. There are lots of hits and they are sung by Bobby Rydell, but they weren't his hits in the first place. Instead, this is an interesting new concept, one which enables Bobby to... |

Hoagy Carmichael
Hoagy Carmichael Sings Hoagy Carmichael [ Hallmark / CD - released 20/Apr/2013 ] Whilst perhaps better known as a songwriter, Hoagy was also a hugely successful singer in his own right, unsurprisingly specialising in interpretations of his own work. His own recording career began taking off in 1927 with Stardust, then an... |
Ike & Tina Turner
Dance [ Hallmark / CD - released 25/Feb/2013 ] Crediting this album to Ike and Tina Turner is something of a misnomer, since Tina doesn't sing on the album at all (although she may have been in the studio and contributed to the percussion), but since the group had recently broken out as Ike & ... |

James Brown
ames Brown & His Famous Flames Tour The USA [ Hallmark / CD - released 14/Jan/2013 ] The title is something of a misnomer, for this is no live album; rather it was recorded in a studio and was seen as an opportunity for James' backing group The Famous Flames to step into the spotlight. Of course, the James Brown connection would... |

Lonnie Donegan
A Golden Age Of Lonnie Donegan [ Hallmark / CD - released 25/Mar/2013 ] A Golden Age Of Donegan was something of a compilation, highlighting just how successful an artist he had become.
