The Complete Joe Bennett and The Sparkletones! This 38 tracks CD album presents the complete recordings of the early rockers from Spartanburg, South Carolina. They were all young teenagers when they made rock 'n' roll history in 1957 with Black Slacks, a true smash and a chart success. Bennett played a rousing lead guitar and sang in tandem with rhythm guitarist Howard 'Sparky' Childress, whilst bassist Wayne Arthur and drummer Jimmy 'Sticks' Denton formed the powerful rhythm section. This CD delivers everything from their earliest recordings through to the rare final ABC Records single, the recordings released on Spanish EPs and an appearance on Nat 'King' Cole's TV show.
