Here are 32 rock and soul tracks by the great '50s star, Billy Bland who began his career in the vocal group, The Bees and it's The Bees who open this collection with "Toy Bell" which is the original version of Chuck Berry's biggest hit, "My Ding-A-Ling". Billy had one great hit record, "Let The Little Girl Dance" which was an American top 10 and British top 20 hit in 1960. Despite never having another hit of that magnitude he did chart on several other occasions with, "You Were Born to be Loved", "Pardon Me", "Harmony", "My Heart's on Fire", "Can't Stop Her From Dancing" and "Do The Bug With Me" which are all featured here. Despite his brief career he later enjoyed some major popularity on the 1970s rock and roll revival scene when several of his singles like "Chicken Hop" became dancefloor favourites.
