His musical roots were based on the sound and style of the immediate pre-WWII Big Bands, and his earliest line-ups of THE VIRTUES, who were formed initially as THE VIRTUOSO TRIO,?reflected these influences. But by the mid-1950s they'd expanded to a quintet and were playing Big Beat and embryonic R\u0026amp;R, vying for popularity with local heroes Bill Haley \u0026amp; The Comets. In 1959 they registered a hit with \"Guitar Boogie Shuffle\", a revival of Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith's 1940s hit, which made the U. S. Top 10 and sold a couple of million copies. This compilation is built upon the subsequent Guitar Boogie Shuffle LP, also issued in 1959, plus assorted 45rpms issued between 1955-62, credited variously to The Virtues, Frank Virtuoso, Frank Virtuoso \u0026amp; His Men Of Virtue, and Jimmy Vespe (i. e. The band's lead guitarist).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Ooh Ya Gotta \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Good Bye Mambo \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Rollin' An' a Rockin' \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Jimmy's Shuffle \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Go Joe Go \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Toodle-Oo Kangaroo \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Hop Skip Jump Mambo \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Rattle My Bones - Frank Virtuoso \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Mambo Rock - Frank Virtuoso \u003cbr\u003e1.10 I Ain't Gonna Do It No More - Frank Virtuoso \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Let's Have a Party - Frank Virtuoso \u003cbr\u003e1.12 My Constant Love - Frank Virtuoso ; His Men of Virtue \u003cbr\u003e1.13 I'm Going Home- Frank Virtuoso ; His Men of Virtue \u003cbr\u003e1.14 I Think You're Lying - Jimmy Vespe \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Guitar Boogie Shuffle \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Guitar in Orbit \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Flippin' In' \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Shufflin' Along \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Pickin' the Stroll \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Virtue's Boogie Woogie (Pine Tops Boogie) \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Pony Walk \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Highland Guitar \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Happy Guitar \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Guitar Boogie Twist \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Guitar Shimmy \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Marching Guitars \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Tel-Star Guitar \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Jersey Bounce\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Virtue, Frank \u0026 the Virtues","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39616622198855,"sku":"42429630","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4059160-2791355.jpg?v=1711756445","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/virtue-frank-the-virtues-guitar-boogie-shuffle-other-guitar-greats-1955-1962","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
