Description
Between 1956 and '66 Hammer developed from a classic American R'n'R style singer/songwriter (he wrote Great Balls Of Fire along with Otis Blackwell) to the 'Twistin' King' in Europe and later to an impressive soul singer.
This CD contains rare early studio recordings (including a previously unreleased track) and rather unknown live tv recordings.
His hits include Kissin' Twist or The Wiggle and Wigglin' Fool.
In the 36-page color booklet with rare photos, illustrations and in-detail discographical info, Chicago music journalist Bill Dahl provides details on Hammer's international career.
From the Bill Haley sound to the dancefloor king.
