Signed by Liberty, he teamed up with producer Snuff Garrett after a couple of releases and burst onto the chart scene in 1961 with the US No. 3 \"A Hundred Pounds Of Clay\". A series of hits followed through the early '60s, and he also became a versatile album seller, before turning to the black consciousness form later in the decade. This great-value 58-track 2-CD collection comprises all his Liberty A \u0026amp; B sides from these years, plus selected tracks from his albums \"In Times Like These\", \"Sometimes I'm Happy Sometimes I'm Blue\", \"100 Lbs. Of Clay!\", \"Sings Movie Memories\", \"Tower Of Strength\", and \"Hit After Hit\". It features all his chart entries from this era including the Top 10 hits \"A Hundred Pounds Of Clay\", \"Tower Of Strength\" and \"Chip Chip\", plus \"Point Of No Return\", \"Spanish Lace\" and others. On his albums, he explores a variety of musical territory, exploiting his jazz and gospel-trained voice as he performs Great American Songbook standards and his own interpretations of current hits of the day, plus classic movie songs along with new contemporary material. He was a fine singer, whose pop hits marked him out as a distinctive song stylist, and this collection is an enjoyable showcase for that talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Times Like These\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Once Before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Green Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Facts of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Hundred Pounds of Clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take a Chance on Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Tear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She's Come Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tower of Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Secret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chip Chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Another Tear Falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapel of Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Point of No Return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Warmer Than a Whisper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spanish Lace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Somebody's Waiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Is Here to Stay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When I Fall in Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Like Someone in Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Look for the Silver Lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Might As Well Be Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Look to Your Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sound of Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gone with the Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Long Has This Been Going on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In a Sentimental Mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The High and Mighty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Deed I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e And the Angels Sing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Me Tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Autumn Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sometimes I'm Happy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's All in the Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take Good Care of Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (At) the End (Of a Rainbow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Portrait of My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Till There Was You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Send for Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Belong to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Around the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Three Coins in the Fountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tammy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secret Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Is a Many Splendored Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mona Lisa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All the Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e From Here to Eternity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Young at Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Almost Lost My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e He's Got My Sympathy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Little Bit of Soap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Can Have Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raindrops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Don't Want to Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (There Was a) Tall Oak Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400964411666,"sku":"824046344122","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4126420-2870255.jpg?v=1729119281","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/gene-mcdaniels-the-singles-albums-collection-1959-62-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
