World's Loneliest Man CD
Vince Eager
World's Loneliest Man CD
Famously a member of legendary Rock 'n' Roll impresario Larry Parnes' Stable Of Stars, Vince Eager's career longevity rivals that of fellow ex-Parnes' colleagues Marty Wilde and Joe Brown.
With his commanding, 6'4" height and charismatic stage presence, Eager was a dynamic and hugely popular live performer on the package tour circuit in the late 1950s and early '60s, and a high profile regular on TV shows like 6.5 Special, Oh Boy!, Boy Meets Girls, Cool For Cats and Drumbeat!
He also earned a reputation for cutting powerful UK covers of US hits including Gene Vincent's Five Days Five Days, Floyd Robinson's Makin' Love, Jerry Wallace's Primrose Lane and Conway Twitty's Lonely Blue Boy.
This collection anthologises all of Vince's releases for Decca, Parlophone and Top Rank, between 1958 and 1961.
This is an excellent, much underrated body of work.
