VA - Twistin' USA [50 Great Dance Floor Moments Of The 60s] (2CD)




*** 50 Great Dance Floor Moments Of The 60s, It's 1961 and the breakout of the Twist as a global trend is just the shot in the arm that the music business has been looking for in the wake of the payola scandal. The fall-out from this disturbing debacle has been far greater than anyone might imagine. Many key radio stations across the United States have panicked and changed their formats from rock & roll to quality music , with the result that listening figures have dropped away almost as fast as the advertisers. Then suddenly, before you can say Round and round and up and down we go again , there is a light on the horizon. The Twist has put the fun back into everyone s daily diet of pop music, and a multitude of animated recordings have resulted. For Twistin USA music historian, producer and former BBC Radio 1 rock & roll show presenter Stuart Colman has dug deep into the vaults to round up 50 US Twist-centric tracks from the golden years of the dance craze that swept the world. Not for Stuart the obvious big hits, which have become staples of Sixties compilations. Even artists like Chubby Checker, Sam Cooke, the Isley Brothers and Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, who all hit big with Twist titles, are represented by less obvious tracks. They are joined by artists both famous (Fats Domino, Gary US Bonds, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Shirelles, Danny & the Juniors, Crystals, even Muddy Waters) and obscure for a selection that will delight connoisseurs of rock & roll and sixties pop. So roll back the rug, put on Twistin USA and get gyrating. ***
