Description

Novelty records were very popular in the early fifties but the advent of rock'n'roll made it much harder for such records to chart. It was all the more remarkable that Brian Hyland had a huge international hit with Itsy bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini. It became so successful that Dalida recorded a French version of the song. The lyrics are silly but it has a very catchy tune.Brian later recorded more conventional songs and had huge international hits with Ginny come lately and Sealed with a kiss. He had other American hits with Let me belong to you, The joker went wild, Run run lookmore… and see and Gypsy woman, the latter also being a minor UK hit. Brian also had minor UK hits with Four little heels and Warmed over kisses.Despite being recorded for different record labels, all of Brian's hits have been assembled together in this one volume. It's well worth a listen - even if you feel obliged to skip the opening track.
