Often music composers, singers, musicians and pop groups have their day of popularity and then they dissappear or are forgotten about. The Les Humphries Singers is perhaps such an example. This group dates from 1969 when the first version of the group was formed in Hamburg Germany by English Born Les Humphries. These are five of the most important or most successful Original Vinyl Studio Albums from the legendary "Les Humphries Singers" of the early seventies. Yes, here are these goodies inside you missed so much and haven't heard anymore for around forty years or since you sold your Original 8-Track-Tapes or LP's at the local flea market for a much less price than it was worth. Yes all sixty songs, the sound and feelings are back now on five Compact Discs and without any LP crackles anymore. All twelve songs of each album were carefully transfered with the finest Decca Royal Sound and are finally re-released for the first time on the "Original Album Series" with a special price by now.

Although they weren't particularly innovative, and nothing they recorded ever changed the course of rock or pop music one iota, Gary Lewis & the Playboys don't really deserve the marginalization they've gotten to the footnote side of rock & roll history. They were a 1960s singles band, pure and simple, and the perfect example of a "summer band," one that plays fun songs full of bright harmonies, specializing in melodic singalongs that made up for what they lacked in depth by being infectious and persistent. Yeah, drummer and singer Gary Lewis was the son of comedian and star Jerry Lewis, but that's just the footnote to a footnote. Lewis could sing, and he was skilled enough at it to do it while he was playing drums, so forget any notions that his recording career was due entirely to privilege.
