'The Prince Wails!'; 'Mr. Excitement!'; 'The Nabob of Sob!'; 'Mr. Emotion!'; 'The 'Cry' Boy!' These were just some of the monikers among many that were attached to the dynamic Johnnie Ray early in his career.
Exploding onto the scene with the back-to-back issues, 'Cry' and 'The Little White Cloud That Cried' Johnnie Ray was an instant hit and a sensation and this set has enough hits to show why. This sparkling set also features his entire western album with Boudleaux Bryant recorded in stereo.
With backing vocals from The Four Lads on several tracks and duets with Doris Day and Frankie Laine along with brilliant orchestrations by: Percy Faith, Ray Conniff, Paul Weston, Les Elgart, Ray Ellis, Joe Reisman, Archie Bleyer, Frank DeVol and more!
