Positively the Most/Softly, The Brazilian Sound
: :Joanie Sommers was one of the first artists we reissued on our Collectors Choice Music label, but in our first run through her album catalog from Warner Bros., we concentrated on the more teen-oriented titles (like Johnny Get Angry) that she cut after gaining some fame from appearing on the '77 Sunset Strip' series.

The result is one of the most listenable, user-friendly multidisc compilations around. Fans will find ...

With the exception of some very early work with Long John Baldry, the music is exclusively focused on the songs Elton wrote in conjunction with lyricist Bernie Taupin. Their songwriting method--whereby Taupin submits lyrics ...
