Our Take

JOHNNIE RAY: The Singles Collection As & Bs 1951-61

All rise for the original crooner with the emotional range of a rollercoaster, Johnnie Ray! This collection of hits from the 50s and 60s is a time capsule of heartbreak, longing, and some good old-fashioned melodrama.

From the tear-jerking "Cry" to the foot-stomping "Just Walkin' in the Rain," Ray's vocal acrobatics are on full display here. You can practically hear the sweat and tears dripping off every note he hits.

But it's not all doom and gloom with Johnnie Ray. Tracks like "Yes Tonight, Josephine" and "You Don't Owe Me a Thing" show off his playful side, making you want to throw on your dancing shoes and twirl around the living room.

Sure, some of the production may sound a bit dated and cheesy by today's standards, but that's all part of the charm. Ray's voice cuts through the nostalgia like a knife, leaving you aching for the simpler days of sock hops and malt shops.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of Johnnie Ray, this collection is a must-listen. Just be sure to have a box of tissues handy, because this guy has a way of hitting you right in the feels.

About the artist

Johnnie Ray

JOHNNIE RAY: The Torchbearer of Emotion If you're looking for a musical experience that will make you feel all the feels, look no further than the one and only Johnnie Ray. Born in Oregon back in 1927, this crooner has been captivating audiences with his powerful vocals and emotive performances for decades. Ray burst onto the music scene in the early 1950s, quickly making a name for himself with hits like "Cry" and "The Little White Cloud That Cried." His soulful voice and raw emotion were a breath of fresh air in a sea of cookie-cutter pop stars, and he quickly became known as the "Prince of Wails." But Ray's success was not without its ups and downs. His personal life was often as tumultuous as his music, with rumours of wild parties and scandalous affairs following him wherever he went. Despite the drama, Ray's talent shone through, and his songs continue to resonate with audiences to this day. From his early days as a struggling musician to his legendary performances at venues around the world, Johnnie Ray's impact on the music industry is undeniable. So, if you're in the mood for some heartfelt tunes that will tug at your heartstrings, give Johnnie Ray a listen. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy - you're going to need them.
