Back in the ’50s, before rock and roll changed the face of pop music forever, a handsome British crooner had an adoring army of female fans swooning to the tunes of their romantic hero, appropriately known as Dickie Valentine. For most of that momentous decade, his popularity was enormous as he topped the charts as well as the bills of sold-out variety shows around the country. He was regularly voted Britain’s favorite male vocalist, and this anthology shows why by bringing together every single he released during the ’50s, plus his original 1949 recording with Ted Heath not released until the ’80s. Although he died tragically young, his reputation as one of the best British crooners of his generation remains intact!
