So popular was she in the early '50s that she twice had four records in the Top 10 simultaneously. She brought country material into the pop chart, making the Top 5 with \"Your Cheatin' Heart\" while it's composer, Hank Williams, was topping the country chart, and she helped introduce the \"concept\" album with her first LP \"Let There Be Love\". Indeed, she was one of the first artists to concentrate on the album market, successfully releasing at least four a year through the '50s, including her \"100 Strings \u0026amp; Joni\" series, recorded at London's Abbey Road studios. She suddenly retired from the business in the early '60s to look after her seriously ill husband, but has returned to performing in recent decades. This great value 54-track collection focuses on her singles, and includes all the 40 or more A and B sides which made one or other configuration of the charts, plus selected other A sides, including tracks which came from the then current album releases. It's a highly entertaining showcase for an artist who has perhaps not received the global recognition she merits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet There Be Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Belong to Me (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Don't You Believe Me'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Purple Shades (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're My Everything (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Have You Heard'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wishing Ring (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Cheatin' Heart (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e BW I'll Be Waiting for You (Non-Album Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Almost Always (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Is It Any Wonder (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Love My Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're Fooling Someone (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'll Never Stand in Your Way (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Can't I (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nina Noni (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maybe Next Time (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Am I in Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In a Garden of Roses (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Every Day (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mama Don't Cry at My Wedding (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pa Pa Pa (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When We Come of Age (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Moment I Saw You (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Important Can It Be'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Is This the End of the Line (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When You Wish Upon a Star (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Are My Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Believing Heart (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Tell Me Not to Love You (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Woke Up Crying (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Give Us This Day (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Lucky You Are (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Letters (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Danny Boy (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Only Trust Your Heart (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summer Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e There Goes My Heart (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e There Must Be a Way (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Still Get a Thrill (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Still Get Jealous (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Are You Sorry'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Things Mean a Lot (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Laughed at Love (Joni James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Need You Now (One Hundred Voices...
