Johnny Worth was a popular singer in the Oscar Rabin Band and then with The Raindrops, the vocal group he formed that also included Vince Hill. He also became, during these years, a hugely successful songwriter, composing (mainly under the nom-de-plume of Les Van Dyke) a string of hits for Adam Faith and Eden Kane. This collection, comprising every track Johnny recorded for Embassy from 1958 to 1960, includes his own versions of four of the hits he wrote for Adam Faith in many ways they could be regarded as the original versions! This set has been put together with Johnnys involvement, and he has contributed the very entertaining and detailed booklet notes, giving the set an added authenticity. Johnny went on to write and produce long after his Embassy career ended, writing the big Jimmy Helms hit Gonne Make You An offer You Cant Refuse and is still writing actively in 2012. This collection offers a fascinating insight into a relatively undiscovered area of British pop.
