Various Artists - America's Greatest Hits 1951, Vol. 2 (2005)

America's Greatest Hits: Volume 2 -this album features every No 1 and No 2 hit of 1951 in its original version. The track listing is in itself an insight into the culture of America before the invasion of the charts by the Rock & Roll phenomena. Interestingly Tony Bennet still the king of cool had two hits and Johnnie Ray reached the dizzy heights of full frontal sentimentality with his signature tune Cry and cry he did both on stage and all the way to the bank. The package has full and very interesting notes. The album is a must have for collectors of Pop.
