Artist: Popsters They Tried to Rock Vol. 3 / Various
Label: Bear Family
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 5397102174162
Genre: Rock

Contains rarities that will surprise both pop fans and collectors. Includes tracks by established stars like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee and Doris Day, who you'd never think would 'stoop so low. 'Reveals the importance of 'cover records' in the era just before the emergence of 'singer/songwriters' all but ended that industry-wide practice.

Others, weren't and didn't. For the first time, Bear Family has collected some vintage performances by Popsters who tried their best to pass themselves off as rockers.
