In a relatively short recording career he went on to notch up three further hits, \u003ci\u003eIf You Don't Want My Lovin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLucky Devil\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExclusively Yours\u003c\/i\u003e, plus a huge regional success, \u003ci\u003eTake Time Out\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as recording several other intriguing sides. For an 18-month period he was one of the hottest young R\u0026amp;R stars in the U.S., making 14 appearances on American Bandstand and headlining numerous one-nighters package tours. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis compilation features his first 45, the self-penned \u003ci\u003eTake Hold Of My Hand\u003c\/i\u003e, recorded for Fraternity in early 1958, plus his releases for U.S. Decca between 1958-62, including his desperately-rare LP, \u003ci\u003eMy Heart Is An Open Book\u003c\/i\u003e, plus a couple of sides which were not originally issued.These records are nowadays all highly collectable among R\u0026amp;R aficionados and are hard to find elsewhere on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmine","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50461086449995,"sku":"1116619","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/94adf027-638c-4265-a0a5-2e5168894f3e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727243136","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/my-heart-is-an-open-book","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
