Joanie Sommers - The Complete Warner Bros. Singles '2011

Tracks list

Best known for the 1962 ditty Johnny Get Angry, wherein the narrator pleads for
the titular boyfriend to show some spine when other boys cut in on them while
theyre dancing, Joanie Sommers made a sizable splash in the early-‘60s pop
music world before the Beatles and flower power came along to shake things up.
Her pleasant voice and pretty, girl-next-door appeal also made her a natural for
television, where she was a frequent variety show and talk show guest and jingle
singer (she was known as The Pepsi Girl). She also headlined in Vegas and
appeared in two films, and later in her career explored more serious and
adventurous jazz and bossa nova. This compilation includes 36 tracks never
before assembled into one collection, and concentrates on her earlier work. The
fluffy ‘60s hits are here -- Dont Pity Me, One Boy (from Bye Bye Birdie),
Kookies Love Song (While Dancing) -- as well as lesser-known but lovely tracks
like the peppy Bobbys Hobbies and the doo wop ballad Wishing Well. Also included
are some cute commercial spots that capture the goofy innocence of
early-‘60s radio. If nothing else, this singles collection may whet
listeners appetites for her more substantive latter-career recordings.
