Various Artists - Billy Heard 'Em Here First!
JASCD1142
Although he was a more-than competent songwriter himself, some of BILLY FURY's biggest hits were covers and/or revivals of American discs.
This unique compilation presents the US hit versions of thirty-one songs which Billy later recorded, variously as A-side, B-sides, or EP/LP tracks.
Artists featured herein range from well-known, major players like Marty Robbins, Frankie Laine, Gladys Knight, Johnnie Ray, Hank Williams, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, etc., to obscure names like Austin Taylor, Nicki North, Barry Darvell, Ricky Shaw, Chase Webster, The Blackwells, etc.
