Then rock hit the Fifties, a lot of sensitive citizens corked their ears, crawled into their woofers and occasionally sent messages to the outside world demanding, "Where is the new good music - and where are the good young singers?" Well, this album gives the answer, for the music was there all the time. Out of the Fifties we have chosen a dozen ballads, including Unchained Melody, Too Young and The Song from Moulin Rouge, to prove that along with The Chicken Scratch and other record-hop pops there were new songs, beautiful by any standard. And the answer to the second part of the question is Sam Cooke, a young man who has developed his own style and sensitivities to a song. (liner notes 50's)
