BOBBY DAY enjoyed one of the more convoluted careers in R&B and R&R, singing with countless vocal groups and recording under many pseudonyms. He remains perhaps best known for the original hit version of 'Rockin' Robin', a million-seller for him in 1958 and a song subject to countless covers/revivals over the years. This cd traces Bobby's journey from his early 50s Jump Blues and Doo Wop outings to his subsequent solo career, across eight different groups, including The Hollywood Flames and Bob & Earl, and thirteen record labels. Many of these early sides are virtually impossible to find elsewhere on CD.........
