Brian Hyland - Greatest Hits

Tommy Roe - Greatest Hits [MCA] In the late '60s, Tommy Roe's budding bubblegum bop was the kind of stuff aspiring smarties turned their nose up at. He was a "teenybopper" (albeit one who bravely forged a trail soon to be trod by the daintily dreamy likes of Bobby Sherman and the Cassidy Bros.) when many were i...	Enlightnin'ment: The Best of Lou Christie	Johnny Tillotson - 25 All-Time Greatest Hits	The Very Best of Bobby Vee	Del Shannon - Greatest Hits These 20 tracks include all the big early-'60s hits by this maverick artist, plus several obscure gems. Shannon was atypical of his era by virtue of age (26 when he had his first hit, "Runaway"), originality (he wrote most of his songs), aggression (unusually among white artists ...
The Vogues - Greatest Hits	Gene Pitney - 25 All-Time Greatest Hits	The Best of Bobby Rydell: Cameo Parkway 1959-1964	Mercy, Mercy, Mercy: A Collection These clean-cut Chicagoans were unrepentantly commercial popsters whose wholesomely catchy, horn-laced '60s hits retain their bubblegum charm three decades after the fact. The 18 track Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is an exemplary best-of disc, collecting all of the group's major hits, i.e...

Hyland's High Points - Not Too Many
GYPSY WOMAN is a classic. This 1970 summertime hit is atmospheric, hypnotic & a perfect pop single. It beats the original version by The Impressions. The rest of Hyland's material is lightweight pop and teen ballads. The 60's material is very teen idol oriented. THE JOKER WENT WILD is a good record, but that's the most rockin' it gets on this " best of " CD . Too bad that most of these songs are not the buried treasures I had hoped for. Being the 60's when the greatest pop music was made, his songs & the production are not long last classics waiting to be discovered. He didn't have too many big hits, and I could see why with these melancholy ballads and soft pop. The only other real hits are SEALED WITH A KISS, GINNY COME LATELY, LET ME BELONG TO YOU, and of course the ITSY BITSY TEENY WEENY YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI, which the Billboard Top 100 Chart book lists as a novelty song. Most of the other songs are chart misses that went nowhere , because they are not very good! He didn't write his own songs either. Hyland is low on the totem pole of all the 60's solo male artists. Not at all essential , unless you loved him in the 60's.

Last gift
I just bought this CD for the father of ours two daughters , he is Elvis fan number one, but he was always talking about Brian Hyland, now that he have not much time I want to give him this CD. I hope he like it

Too much remastered
The music and the album are great. But I had a couple of more albums of Brian Hyland. I played same songs from the same starting points. The sound on this album is flat. It is cleaner but flat. Not a good remaster.
