• Track Listing

Ernest’s son had a warm vocal style that was leagues away from his dad’s dry Texas drawl. But he did inherit a whole lot of talent from his father, a talent best displayed on his 1953–59 Decca sides. Here are the most rocking of those, most long unavailable: his hit duets with Goldie Hill ("Looking Back to See," "Sure Fire Kisses"), his Top 10 "I Gotta Go Get My Baby," a duet with Roger Miller ("Mine Is a Lonely Life"), plus "Bachelor Man," "Ooh La La," "Sugar Lips" and more. Includes 32 tracks and a 36-page booklet!
