Description
Dickie Valentine – The Finger of Suspicion
MUSIC CD
29 TRACKS on 2 CDs
Sometimes referred to as The Forgotten Teen Idol, DICKIE VALENTINE, was effectively the UK’s first Pop idol, with a massive teenage fan base, worshipped in the same way that Tommy Steele would be idolised by his legion of teenage followers, just a few years later. He made fifteen UK hit records between 1952-59, with a further nine titles listed in Hits That Missed… The UK Bubbling Under Chart, 1954-61. This compilation presents the very best of his singles releases between 1950-61, for Decca, Melodisc and Pye. Included in this compilation are his UK No.1s, Finger Of Suspicion and Christmas Alphabet, along with all his other hits, and more. This is the first time that this body of work has been compiled and several of these sides are collector’s rarities, difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
