Georgie Shaw was one of the old-school big-voiced pop singers of the early 1950s, somewhat in the mould of Eddie Fisher, who had to try to adapt to the cataclysmic changes in the pop market heralded by the arrival of rock ‘n’ roll in the charts. 

The fact that his last hit came in 1956 maybe tells its own story, but his versatility kept him competitive through to the end of the decade.  This 45-track 2-CD collection comprises selected A & B sides of his singles on Decca and MGM/Metro from these years, plus all the tracks from his Decca album “One For My Baby”. 

It features his US pop hits “Till We Two Are One”, “Somebody Else’s Love Song” and “A Faded Summer Love”, and his duet hit with Kitty Kallen “Go On With The Wedding”. He was a stylish and extrovert performer, able to turn his hand to different strands of pop, and this collection is a an enjoyable showcase for a talented vocalist who, had he arrived on the scene a few years earlier, could have been a much bigger star.
