Synopsis

Album Description
Billy Vaughn was the man who combined the lushness of the big bands with the energy of rock 'n' roll. In addition to being Pat Boone's music director and A&R man, Billy led his own studio orchestra that scored more than 25 hits over 12 years, and was the most popular big band of the Fifties. The six CDs in this box include all of Billy Vaughn's recordings from 1954 to early November 1958, including such unforgettable hits as Melody Of Love, The Shifting Whispering Sands, Sail Along Silvery Moon, Raunchy, The Theme From The Threepenny Opera (Mack The Knife), When The White Lilacs Bloom Again, La Paloma, Cimarron, and Blue Hawaii, as well as all of the albums from this era, like 'Sweet Music And Memories', 'The Golden Instrumentals' and 'Instrumental Souvenirs'. Also included are 15 previously unissued performances, and a book incorporating a newly researched biography of this reclusive man and rare photos from the Vaughn family.

TOP NOTCH BILLY VAUGHN COLLECTION OF HIS 50S HITS!
Bill Busse | Fairmont, MN United States | 03/23/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Imagine if you will 80 great selections by Billy Vaughn for less than $15.00 in great digital sound, beautifully packaged. This is what you get in this package. Many of his best 50s album recordings are included along with the hits MELODY OF LOVE, SILVER MOON, THE WALTZ YOU SAVED FOR ME, LITTLE BOY BLUE, THREE PENNY OPERA, PETTICOATS OF PORTUGAL, SAIL ALONG SILV'RY MOON, RAUNCHY, THE SHIP THAT NEVER SAILED, SINGING HILLS, LA PALOMA, TRYING, TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS, CIMARRON and BLUE HAWAII. Those are the US chart hits (yes SILVER MOON and THE WALTZ YOU SAVED FOR ME were both Top 50 in Cashbox). You also have a number of hits from the German Hit Parade: ALOHA OE, MORGEN, UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGLE (unter dem doppeladler), BLUEBERRY HILL and MOONLIGHT and ROSES.

An absolutely must have Billy Vaughn collection. We can only hope there will be a 4 CD collection of his 60s hits including WHEELS, ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL, CHOPSTICKS, LILI MARLENE, SWINGIN SAFARI, HAPPY COWBOY, SUNDOWNERS, LOOK FOR A STAR, CHAPEL BY THE SEA, MEXICAN PEARLS, etc. There are a great many to choose from to make an 80 song companion set."
