Bravo The Hits 2009

Best known for the stuttering number three single "Give Me Just a Little More Time," the Chairmen of the Board were one of the smoothest and most popular soul acts to emerge from Detroit in the early '70s. Although their time at the top of the R&B charts was brief – their first Top Ten arrived in 1970, their last in 1973 – they recorded a handful of '70s soul classics, all distinguished by the high, trembling vocals of General Norman Johnson, who also wrote the bulk of the group's material.

Dean Martin started his early life as a jack of all trades dabbling in delivering bootleg liquor, boxing and working as a croupier, at the same time singing with local bands calling himself Dino Martini . It was however his laid back crooning style which was to give him the break and direction he was looking for. Volare is a snapshot of Martin covering a range of iconic material, digitally remastered across 3CDs.
