James DARREN – Goodbye Cruel World! – The First Four Albums 1959-1962

It's teen idols aplenty this month! This time Jasmine focus their sights on the popular actor, James Darren who was coerced into his pop idol status due to the fact (unlike many of the other teen idols) he could actually sing.

Featured on this 2CD set we have no less than four great albums plus two bonus tracks. James Darren considers the fourth and final album, 'Love Among the Young' to be his finest.

Listen to James sing his way through wonderful versions of standards plus some great sugary teen pop written for him by the likes of Pomus/Shuman, Goffin/King and Mann/Weil.

Includes his biggest hit 'Goodbye Cruel World' plus fully detailed liner notes outlining his career.
