The litany of such songs, which first came to the fore as hits for doo wop groups in the R\u0026amp;B charts, is fascinating, as they covered Frankie Lymon's \"Why Do Fools Fall In Love\", The Willows' \"The Church Bells May Ring\", The G-Clefs' \"Ka-Ding-Dong\", Maurice Williams \u0026amp; The Zodiacs \"Little Darlin'\"and The Rays' \"Silhouettes\" to register significant chart successes, along with other notable hits like the dance craze \"The Stroll\". In between those opportunist outings, they ran the gamut of the current styles, embracing rock 'n' roll and pop ballads alike, as Mercury used them successfully as a medium for making the new music that was taking over the pop scene more acceptable for middle America. This great-value 64-track 2-CD set comprises the A and B sides of all their US singles during the period, plus some titles which were only released on singles in the UK and Australia. It naturally includes all their successes in the pop charts, and so represents a thorough overview of their core career, and an insight into an intriguing strand of pop during that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nip Sip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Be My Lovin' Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smooch Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Do Fools Fall in Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Baby You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Church Bells May Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Girl of Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Love Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ev'ry Night About This Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ka-Ding-Dong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soft Summer Breeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Judge and My Jury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Put Your House in Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Thousand Miles Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ev'ry Minute of the Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Darlin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Faithful and True\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Words of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Say Goodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Zip Zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh How I Wish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Passion Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Straight Skirts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silhouettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Daddy Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Honey Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Stroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Land of Beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e High Sign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chick-Let's (Don't Let Me Down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Patsy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kathy-O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Where Mary Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walking Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eternal Lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e From the Bottom of My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gretchen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Mother's Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sneaky Alligator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holding Your Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Young in Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Twenty-Second Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walking the Stroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Batman Wolfman Frankenstein or Dracula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tell the Truth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Real True Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slave Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pencil Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You'd Be Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Crumble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Short Changed Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Sho' Lawd Will\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Munch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Woomai Ling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Summer Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's a Doggone Shame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Horizontal Lieutenant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Vanishing American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh Carol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Believe Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e San Antonio Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522082017554,"sku":"824046320027","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-diamonds-diamonds-complete-singles-as-bs-1955-62-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
