Dave ‘Baby’ CORTEZ – The Happy Organ and Other Great Recordings 1956-1961

Dave 'Baby' Cortez hasn't received much attention as far as reissues are concerned so Jasmine has decided to put together what is the best and most comprehensive collection of hits and rarities.

Although light on charting hits, Dave 'Baby' Cortez was able to craft many catchy melodies, riffs and hooks that fans of organ music and a soulful, bluesy sound will enjoy greatly. Oh, and just for good measure we have thrown in his biggest hit 'The Happy Organ' to really get your feet tapping.

Fully detailed liner notes with a biography of his career achievements and a selection of early album tracks that can really be given the moniker of 'ultra-rare', this is another must have release!
