Best OF The Fifties

The Cousins is a guitar group of the late fifties and early sixties who were among the first to successfully export "rock & roll" music from Belgium. Played Shadows-like music and also had a stage act which resembled that of The Shadows. Started off at the end of the fifties as "La Jeune Equipe". Their main occupation was playing at the birthday parties of the rich and noble. They change their name to "Les Cousins" when they were asked to perform in a club with the same name on the 14th of July (French fкte nationale). It's there that the group gets a record contract with Jean Klüger. The cheerful song "Kili-Watch" of 1960 becomes an instant and huge hit. In a few months 50.000 copies are sold, an enormous amount for the Belgian record market at that point. The song is an adaptation of an Indian warsong that bass-player Derese had picked up during his years as a boy-scout.

When Sam Cooke signed with RCA Records in 1960, he had already had several hits ("You Send Me," "What A Wonderful World," and "Only Sixteen" among them) on the small independent label Keen Records. He had paid attention to the business sides of things, too, and he signed with RCA because he was allowed to keep control of his song publishing…

The Best Of Ronnie Milsap is a 12-track collection of chart-topping favorites from the country legend’s extensive catalog. The album, which primarily spotlights Milsap’s crossover hits of the late ‘70s-‘80s, features 12 of his 35 #1 Billboard Country hits. In his liner notes, Joe Marchese writes that this collection of songs “Celebrates Ronnie Milsap’s rich legacy as both an interpretive singer and a musician,” adding that the selections, “Are imbued with indomitable spirit and abundant heart. Elegant, emotional, and expressive: This is the sound of Ronnie Milsap. His life is almost like a song… but not one that’s much too sad to write. Rather, it’s one of pure triumph.” Audio for the CD and digital edition was remastered by the GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Paul Blakemore.
