Description
Million Dollar Hits is a compact disc collection capturing the irresistible energy of early 1960s American pop and R&B, gathering ten memorable singles from artists who each left a mark on the era’s dancefloor culture. Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels kick things off with the raw, revved-up ‘Sock It To Me – Baby!’, while Bobby Freeman’s ‘C’mon And Swim’ and Joey Dee & The Starliters’ ‘Peppermint Twist’ showcase the dance-craze fever that swept the charts. Little Eva’s ‘Let’s Turkey Trot’ and Norma Tanega’s wonderfully offbeat ‘Walkin’ My Cat Named Dog’ add further colour to a set that doubles as a vivid snapshot of pop’s pre-British Invasion golden moment…
