Ace presents its first salute to this great song-writing team of Rock'n'Roll's Golden Age. Individually and collectively, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman have written more classics of American Pop than almost any other writers of their era. This package offers a strong mix of the obvious classics we couldn't leave out, and songs that should have been as big as those that did become major hits. It also includes songs that will surprise people who think that P&S only wrote teen pop, tackled by artists including Irma Thomas, Howard Tate, Ray Charles and The McCoys. Many of these tracks are making their CD debut here.
We are also privileged to include, for the first time on an Ace CD, an Elvis Presley recording as our title track.
