Editor's info:
Bobby Day was one of the most innovative, dynamic, yet unheralded figures in Rhythm'n'Blues and early Rock & Roll. His 1958 hit "Rockin' Robin" is one of the most memorable and recycled r&r oldies of them all. The secret of Bobby Day's songs are that they convey everything that is alive and spirited about rock and roll. His music is a non-stop orgy of chirpin' birds, buzzin' honeybees and swingin' cats all tinged with a naive eternal optimism. He was a seriously underrated R&B artist, whose influence reached far beyond his meager chart tally. In fact, other artists have continually had more success recording his songs than Day had himself (Michael Jackson took "Rockin' Robin" to number 2 in 1972 and the Jackson Five reached the Top 20 with the catchy "Little Bitty Pretty One" that same year). This release contains Bobby Day's magnificent debut album, Rockin' Robin (1958). In addition to contributing some of the most memorable rock & roll hits of the 50s, he also recorded a bunch of hard to find B-sides from his early and best years on the Class Records label, which have been included here as bonus tracks.
