In the later years of the decade, he provided an early career opportunity for Rosemary Clooney and her sister Betty, who recorded with Pastor through 1948-49, and who are featured on a dozen or more titles here. This 72-track 3-CD set comprises selected A and B sides from his singles on the Bluebird, RCA-Victor, Cosmo and Columbia labels during this era, and features all his fifteen US chart entries, including the Top 10 hits \"Maria Elena\", \"Dance With A Dolly\", \"Bell Bottom Trousers\", Sioux City Sue\", \"Red Silk Stockings And Green Perfume\" and \"The Lady From Twenty-Nine Palms\". It features at least one side of a significant proportion of his releases during these years. Along with Tony Pastor himself and The Clooney Sisters, featured vocalists include Johnny McAfee, Eugenie Baird, Dorsey Anderson, Kay Little, Elisse Cooper, Kay Foster, Rita McCullough and Virginia Maxey. It's a substantial and enjoyable showcase for the music of an artist who is not much talked about these days but who made a significant contribution to the popular music of this primary decade and more of his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Dance with a Dolly (With a Hole in Her Stocking) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Rhymin' Game (Rhyme Your Name) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 It Never Entered My Mind \u003cbr\u003e1.4 I Want to Live (As Long As You Love Me) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I've Got You Under My Skin \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Love of My Life \u003cbr\u003e1.8 You're the One for Me \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Paradiddle Joe \u003cbr\u003e1.10 With a Twist of the Wrist \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Pale Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.12 For Whom the Bell Tolls \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Wigwam Stomp \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Maria Elena \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Hurry Back to Sorrento \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Green Eyes \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Dinah \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Don't Let Julia Fool Ya \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Shepherd Serenade \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Dream Dancing \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Sunday in Savannah \u003cbr\u003e1.22 You Can Depend on Me \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Blossoms \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Doin' the Ratamacue \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Absent Minded Moon \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Good Morning, Mr. Zip Zip Zip \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Fightin' Doug MacArthur \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Full Moon \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Brother Bill \u003cbr\u003e2.6 I'm Getting So Tired I Can Sleep \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Hey, Mabel! \u003cbr\u003e2.8 Confessin' (That I Loveyou) \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Robin Hood \u003cbr\u003e2.10 I Got a Song \u003cbr\u003e2.11 Five Salted Peanuts \u003cbr\u003e2.12 Bell Bottom Trousers \u003cbr\u003e2.13 Please No Squeeza de Banana \u003cbr\u003e2.14 That's the Stuff Ya Gotta Watch \u003cbr\u003e2.15 Sioux City Sue \u003cbr\u003e2.16 Who's Got a Tent for Rent? \u003cbr\u003e2.17 Azusa \u003cbr\u003e2.18 Surrender \u003cbr\u003e2.19 Love Is the Darndest Thing \u003cbr\u003e2.20 My Neck of the Woods \u003cbr\u003e2.21 Makin' Whoopee \u003cbr\u003e2.22 Either It's Love or It Isn't \u003cbr\u003e2.23 Peaceful Valley \u003cbr\u003e2.24 Red Silk Stockings and Green Perfume \u003cbr\u003e3.1 I Wonder I Wonder I Wonder \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Lady from Twenty-Nine Palms \u003cbr\u003e3.3 My O'Darlin,' My O'Lovely, My O'Brien \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Gonna' Get a Girl \u003cbr\u003e3.5 I'm My Own Grandpaw \u003cbr\u003e3.6 There's a Man at the Door \u003cbr\u003e3.7 A Boy from Texas and a Girl from Tennessee \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Indian Love Call \u003cbr\u003e3.9 You Started Something \u003cbr\u003e3.10 It's Like Taking Candy from a Baby \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Saturday Night Mood \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Grieving for You \u003cbr\u003e3.13 A You're Adorable \u003cbr\u003e3.14 San \u003cbr\u003e3.15 There's Yes Yes in Your Eyes \u003cbr\u003e3.16 If I Had a Million Dollars \u003cbr\u003e3.17 I Never See Maggie Alone \u003cbr\u003e3.18 For You My Love \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Can I Come in for a Second \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Busy Line \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Choc'late Ice Cream Cone \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Bread and Butter Woman \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Sentimental Music \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Ida (Sweet As Apple Cider)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
