Ten fave album tracks chosen from my yearly Favorites lists

Today………from 1960

None of these were issued as singles in USA

** indicates a single release here in UK

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters|I'm Crying Mercy Mercy|King LP674|1960

Chuck Berry|Down The Road A Piece|Chess LP1448|1960

Ray Charles| Drown In My Own Tears (live)|Atlantic LP8039|1960

The Crickets|I Fought The Law|Coral CRL57320|1960 **

Bo Diddley|Ride On Josephine|Checker 2977|1960

The Drifters|Honky Tonky|Atlantic LP8041|1960

Billy Fury|Turn My Back On You| UK Decca LF1329|1960

Elvis Presley|Reconsider Baby|RCA LSP2231|1960

Joe Turner|Rebecca|Atlantic LP1332|1960

Gene Vincent|She She Little Sheila|Capitol T1342|1960 **

The pop number from 1960 that came closest to being included here is

Peggy Lee|Till There Was You|Capitol T1290|1960 **

La Lee was always one of the better pop songstresses and this is a show
tune I always liked (even by The Beatles who seem to me to follow Peg's
version on their rendition)

Several of these are favorites for me, especially the Drifters (#14) and
Billy Fury (#30) and the Joe Turner (#24) which is a revamp of many of
his 30s and 40s things put together with a new title. Those 3 are all
nines for me.

The album in question is the 10" LP "Sound Of Fury" on UK Decca. The
slightly earlier LP by him that year was his debut album "Billy Fury" an
Ace Of Clubs label (UK Decca subsidary) collection
