{"product_id":"diddy-boppers-juke-box-pearls","title":"Diddy Boppers - Juke Box Pearls","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis CD compilation of 32 songs occasionally deviates from the chronological order and describes the career of a unique singer who also played the trombone. Starting with instrumental recordings of the Lillian Briggs Orchestra from the mid-50s - after Alan Freed discovered her - through rhythm \u0026amp; blues sounds and rock n roll in her recordings for the Epic label and various other record companies to pop arrangements, jazz standards and twists of the later years: \u003ci\u003eDiddy Boppers\u003c\/i\u003e presents the great stylistic diversity of a unique female singer.  All of Lillian Briggs hits are included, such as the CD title track Diddy Boppers. Perhaps many will remember I Want You To Be My Baby, which was recorded at the same time by Georgia Gibbs and is offered here in three different versions; as an instrumental version by the Lillian Briggs Orchestra, then in her best-known arrangement as a rhythm \u0026amp; blues heavy dance number and finally as a twist version from 1961. Her cover versions of Eddie My Love, Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop, Rag Mop and the great Be Mine are also on this CD. A rousing album, not just for nostalgic fans and collectors. If you love expressive female singers, Lillian Briggs is the right choice! The CD comes with a 36-page colour booklet with a Lillian Briggs biography by the renowned Chicago music journalist Bill Dahl, and many rare photos and illustrations!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Family","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409628762443,"sku":"2188588","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4000127177179_7f696a21_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726621726","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/diddy-boppers-juke-box-pearls","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
