Born in Texas, he became a professional entertainer after leaving the USAF in the late 40s, and graduated to being a popular performer on various radio shows, and with his band The Texas Wildcats made some recordings in the early 50s. When he was hosting the popular Washington, D.C. radio program Town and Country Time, he was signed by Mercury in 1955. He made a number of records with them without a hit until signing to Columbia in 1957, scoring his debut hit Deep Blue Sea with his first Columbia release. It was with his unique narrative recitation Big Bad John that he came to true national and international prominence, making No. 1 in the US pop and country charts and reaching No. 2 in the UK. Other hits in similar style followed, notably Dear Ivan and P.T. 109, the latter a tribute to John F. Kennedys legendary wartime exploits. This great-value 51-track 2-CD set comprises all his A and B sides on the Mercury and Columbia labels during this key era of his career, and features all his eleven hits during these years, as well as some early Mercury titles which are otherwise unavailable on CD.
