Johnny & The Hurricanes - 1959-63 - The Very Best
Johnny and the Hurricanes was a rock and roll band that began as The Orbits in Toledo, Ohio in 1957. Led by saxophonist Johnny Paris, they were school friends who played on a few recordings behind Mack Vickery, a local rockabilly singer. They signed with Harry Balk and Irving Micahnik of Twirl Records, which led to national engagements in 1959. Johnny and the Hurricanes recorded "Crossfire" in a vacant cinema to provide echo. That became a nationwide U.S. hit, and ranked No. 23 in the U.S. chart in the summer of 1959. The band developed a following in Europe. In 1962, they played at the Star-Club in Hamburg, where The Beatles, then a little-known band, served as an opening act. Johnny and the Hurricanes cut records until 1965. Johnny continued to tour with the Hurricanes in Europe and United States until his death in 2006. 01 - Red River Rock 02 - Buckeye 03 - Crossfire 04 - Reveille Rock 05 - Cyclone 06 - Rockin 'T' 07 - The Beatnick Fly 08 - Rocking Goose 09 - Kaw - Liga 10 - You Are My Sunshine 11 - San Antonio Rose 12 - Down Yonder 13 - Revival 14 - Bye Bye Blackbird 15 - Corn Bread 16 - Happy Time 17 - Thunderbolt 18 - Joy Ride 19 - Ja da 20 - The Sheik Of Araby 21 - Molly - O 22 - Traffic Jam 23 - Walkin' With Mr. Lee 24 - Rock - A - Long 25 - The Kid 26 - Sanstorm 27 - Like Rock 28 - Time To Rock 29 - High Voltage 30 - Sheba 31 - Old Smokie 32 - Ten Little Indian 33 - After Midnight 34 - Teensville Tonight LINK
