The Definitive Collection

"Last Kiss" was a 1964 autumn rock hit that went to number one in the Cash Box ratings, and number two on the Billboard magazine rankings. "Baby Love" by the Supremes was its competition at the time. "Last Kiss" was a "tragic car crash" kind of song, like "Tell Laura I Love Her" and "Teen Angel." I now live in San Angelo, TX where the song (and a bunch of others on this CD) were recorded. The building housing the studio still stands, but is no longer a music studio. Four musicians played on it behind vocalist J. Frank Wilson, and two of them are still alive and living here. The group, "The Cavaliers" lasted longer than Wilson in the music business, but "Last Kiss" was their only chart hit. It's a great song for that era, and the covers of other early '60's rock classics on this disc are generally also done well.

This is more like an album of cover versions of well known songs from different artists. These renditions do not hold up to the original artists, but they are only okay. "Last Kiss" is the top selling song here, and it was revived by Pearl Jam, who slowed this song down. "Tell Laura I Love Her" was another good cover here. This album is good if you are into cover versions. This album comes with 65 minutes of rock and roll and a 6 page tri- fold insert with the liner notes.

When I was 14 my cousin was in a band and sang this I sang it to my girls when they were little. They were excited when Pearl Jam redid it. I like these guys better and more good songs on the CD as well.

John Frank Wilson was one of the most under rated music stars. He arrived late on the scene just as the nation was in a state of change, turning away from the early 1960's ballads.

If your a J. Frank Wilson fan this is the greatest hits for you. I am considering getting a second copy for my truck.

I really like this

I loved the song last kiss when I was growing up. I played it for my grandkids and the love it too.

Loved the cd

新品なので、届いたときに評価しましたが、今日久しぶりに仕事が休みになりCDを聞こうと思いパケージを開けるて商品を見ると傷が2か所ありました。もう商品が届いて時間がたっし、値段が値段だから返品はしませんが、悔しいので投稿しました。
