Alley-Oop - CD

DANTÉ & THE EVERGREENS Are Invariably Perceived As One-Hit Wonders, For Their U. S. Top 20 Cover Of The Hollywood Argyles' 'Alley-Oop'. Yet Their Follow-Up, 'Time Machine', Also Dented The U. S. Charts, While A Later Danté Solo 45, '(You're My) Miss America', Was Successfully Covered By The Beach Boys. After The Evergreens Split, Lead Singer Donald "Danté" Drowty Cut Several Further 45s, A Couple Backed By The Rivingtons, Enjoying Some Regional Successes. This Compilation Reissues Everything That Danté Recorded Between 1960-62, With And Without The Evergreens (It Includes Their Collectable, Vastly Underrated LP), Plus - As Bonus Tracks - Three Singles That He And His Evergreens Sang On, In An Earlier Incarnation. Much Of This Repertoire Is Damnably Difficult To Find Elsewhere On CD, While The Bonus Tracks Are Highly Sought After By Doo Wop Aficionados.
