Born in Texas, he became a professional entertainer after leaving the USAF in the late '40s, and graduated to being a popular performer on various radio shows, and with his band The Texas Wildcats made some recordings in the early '50s. When he was hosting the popular Washington, D.C. radio program 'Town and Country Time', he was signed by Mercury in 1955, making a number of records with them without a hit until signing to Columbia in 1957, scoring his debut hit \"Deep Blue Sea\" with his first Columbia release. It was with his unique narrative recitation \"Big Bad John\" that he came to true national and international prominence, making No. 1 in the US pop and country charts and reaching No. 2 in the UK. Other hits in similar style followed, notably \"Dear Ivan\" and \"P.T. 109\", the latter a tribute to John F. Kennedy's legendary wartime exploits. This great-value 51-track 2-CD set comprises all his A and B sides on the Mercury and Columbia labels during this key era of his career, and features all his eleven hits during these years, as well as some early Mercury titles which are otherwise unavailable on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalse Pride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Blue Diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind 'Em, Fool 'Em and Leave 'Em Alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy World Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight Train Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlad Rags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHello Mr. Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Found Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLosing Game 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Child 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook on the Good Side 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo You Love Me 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBumming Around 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing Can Stop My Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat This Old World Needs 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Fool in Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Blue Sea 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Me So I'll Know 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Sandy Sleighfoot 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen They Ring the Golden Bells 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakin' Up My Mind 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarlight Starbright 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool of Love 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Should See Tennessee, Mam'selle 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Heart Is An Open Book 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShark in the Bathtub 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSing Along 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekend Blues 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounting Tears 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay a Little Longer 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere's Still Time, Brother 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks for the Dream 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Boy Lost 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere'll Be No Teardrops Tonight 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Been a Long, Long Time 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive Me Back My Heart 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Bad John 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Go Huntin' with You, Jake 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma Bill 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDear Ivan 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo a Sleeping Beauty 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cajun Queen 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP.T. 109 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk on, Boy 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Men 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Bitty Big John 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease Pass the Biscuits 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Black Book 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGonna Raise a Ruckus Tonight 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Day That Changed the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046328320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ACROBAT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSIC VIDEO DIST.***","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51230112481582,"sku":"n824046328320","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/7856\/0814\/files\/3848336.jpg?v=1762149377","url":"https:\/\/parkavecds.shop\/products\/jimmy-dean-complete-mercury-columbia-singles-as-bs-1955-62-cd","provider":"Park Ave CDs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
