This superb pop crooner scored a streak of hits from ’49 to ’53, then continued to make excellent recordings in the rock ’n’ roll era before finding new success as an actor and TV personality. This great-value 54-track set pairs duets with Kitty Kallen and Xavier Cugat with a wealth of Hayes’ Mercury, ABC-Paramount, Decca and Columbia A- and B-sides. This anthology is overdue: his hits "The Old Master Painter," "My Foolish Heart," "Our Lady of Fatima," "The Aba Daba Honeymoon," (last two with Kallen), "Too Young," "Come On-A My House," "Go! Go! Go! Go," "Out in the Cold Again," "Junco Partner," "Forgetting You," "The Mask Is Off" and more! Acrobat.
