① is a blue-eyed soul singer from Chicago, and this CD is a 25-song best album (out of print) from his Liberty days, which included the 1961 hit "HEART".
(The following is a personal story...) The most amazing song is "WHAT'S A MATTER BABY", and it took me a long time to find Timi Euro, and it took me more than 30 years to listen to the original. The first time I heard this song was when Takuro Yoshida played a tape of Hiroshima's <The Downtowns>, which he was in during his GS days, on a late-night radio show. Years passed without me knowing the name of the song, and the next time I came across it was by chance, when I discovered it on the second track of the Small Faces' first album CD. However, I didn't know the original artist, so I searched for it based on the composer <Otis> and the song name, but in an era without the Internet or YouTube, this was a very difficult task. The next time I came across it was on a CD by Del Shannon. In addition to the studio recording, Del Shannon also featured this song on [LIVE IN ENGLAND] in 1972, and he seems to like it as if it were his own song. Then one day, in a book with jacket photos of Western singles released in Japan, I noticed the English words "WHAT'S..." written under the single "When Tears Wet Your Cheeks". Thus, my decades-long <journey to find the song> ended and this CD arrived at my house. I also found out that it is now included in several omnibuses related to girl groups. I also got a cover version on the British band Them's album. And Takuro's singing that I heard at that time was uploaded to YOUTUBE. Both Steve Marriott and Takuro faithfully copied the original song and shouted it to create a nice flavor, but the original Timi Euro's powerful original version "When Tears Wet Your Cheeks" is the best! But who came up with this Japanese title?
② is an American actress born in Sweden, famous for her role as Elvis Presley's partner in the films Bye Bye Birdie ('63) and Viva Las Vegas ('64). She has released records constantly, and the theme song of the former is famous for being a hit, but I recommend the 6th track, "I Just Don't Understand." This song was her first hit in 1961, and reached number 17, but you can hear the four of them performing this song on the 16th track of Disc 2 of The Beatles' [Live at the BBC], released in 1994. This take, sung coolly by John's vocals, has been known since the days of bootleg LP records in the 70s, and sounds like an original song by them. Why did they play a song that wasn't in their stage repertoire on the radio? Maybe John was a fan of Ann-Margret (this is just a guess). It's surprising that the guitar has fuzz even though the original was recorded in 1961. I wonder if fuzz had already been invented in the United States in 1961. In any case, it's a masterpiece! Ann-Margret's main job is as an actress, but there are many songs on her many All Days CDs, so it might be a good idea to dig deeper.
