Spanning the 1950s and 1960s, GREATEST EVER GOLDEN ANTHEMS looks back to the peak era of easy listening (Danny Williams, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr.), early rock'n'roll (Cliff Richard, The Everly Brothers, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates), sixties soul (Aretha Franklin, Ben E King, Percy Sledge) and balladeering (Dionne Warwick, Petula Clark, The Seekers). There are also selections from the beat boom by The Hollies, The Moody Blues and Herman’s Hermits alongside mid-sixties sunshine sounds by The Association, Sonny & Cher and The Foundations. GREATEST EVER GOLDEN ANTHEMS is a perfect encapsulation of the times across 80 tracks and four CDs.
