Editorial Reviews
Don Cornell was a popular singer in the 1940s and 1950s and here for the first time on CD are all of his charting hits! Featuring the million sellers "I'll Walk Alone", "The Bible Tell Me So", "It Isn't Fair" and "Hold My Hand". Also included here are "Stranger In Paradise" and "The Devils In Your Eyes" which were originally only issued in the UK. With collaborations with Lawrence Welk, Sammy Kaye, Johnny Desmond and Alan Dale and wonderful orchestral arrangements by Dick Jacobs, Henri Rene, Camarata and Hugo Winterhalter. This is nothing more than another fantastic addition to the Jasmine catalogue.

Don Cornell, born on April 21, 1919 in New York City, was one of the few Big Band vocalists (starting in the late 1930s he had worked with Al Kavelin, Red Nichols and, of course, Sammy Kaye) who, after going solo, was able to extend his career right through the beginning years of the R&R era, racking up 24 hit singles from 1950 to 1957. And they are all here, along with some of their B-sides.
His first solo hit after scoring some 14 with Sammy Kaye's orchestra on RCA Victor came in 1950 when, also on that label, he was backed by Hugo Winterhalter for his cover of the Ivory Joe Hunter # 1 R&B hit, I Need You So, which reached # 25 in September b/w It Couldn't Happen To A Sweeter Girl. Thereafter, his releases would be handled by the Decca subsidiary, Coral, and, for the most part (except where noted hereunder) he would be backed by the Norman Leyden orchestra.
However, it would be 18 long months before he found the charts again with I'll Walk Alone which featured no less than 8 hit versions in the spring of 1952. Dinah Shore topped the list with her # 1 rendition, followed by Martha Tilton (# 4) and then Don, whose version reached # 5 b/w That's The Chance you Take. Then, in May, he shared the # 3 slot with Eddie Fisher on I'm Yours (b/w My Mother's Pearls - not here), both finishing well ahead of versions by The Four Aces and Toni Arden. A # 20 hit followed in July with This Is The Beginning Of The End (b/w I Can't Cry Anymore - not here), and in September Coral paired him with their female singing star, Teresa Brewer, on You'll Never Get Away, a # 17 b/w The Hookey Song and backed by the Jack Pleis orchestra. He then finished off a very successful 1952 with the shortest song title ever recorded - I - (see track 25 on Disc 1), a # 7 b/w Be Fair (not included).
1953 would be another good year, starting with S'posin' which peaked at # 28 in February b/w another missing B-side, If You Were Only Mine, and in July, She Loves Me topped out at # 23 b/w When The Hands Of The Clock Pray At Midnight. That September he had a # 18 with Please Play Our Song (Mister Record Man) b/w If I Should Love Again (not here), and im December he had two hits. The first, accompanied by the Jack Pleis orchestra, was the # 10 (The Gang That Sang) "Heart Of My Heart" which he did with two other Coral stars, Johnny Desmond and Alan Dale, b/w I Think I'll Fall In Love Today. The second was the solo You're On Trial, a # 24 b/w I'm Yearning.
In March 1954 he was back with Size 12 (# 23 b/w Hold Me - not here), in May had the # 22 Believe In Me, b/w Little Lucy (Let Down Your Hair Tonight), and that fall came the closest to a # 1 when Hold My Hand, from the film Susan Slept Here, surged to # 2 b/w I'm Blessed (not here). Both Size 12 and Hold My Hand were backed by the Jerry Carr orchestra. By the start of 1955 the first ripples of the wave known as R&R had started, and in May he had his first double-sided hit with two R&B covers, the A-side being Most Of All (a # 5 R&B for The Moonglows) which, with the Dick Jacobs orchestra, he took to # 14 on the new Billboard Pop Top 100. and the B-side a Pop "follow-along" # 14 of The Door Is Still OPen To My Heart (a # 4 R&B for The Cardinals).
Early that fall he scored with a song penned by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans when The Bible Tells Me So reached # 7, with the backing of the Jacobs orchestra, while the flipside, a cover of The Four Aces # 1 hit Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing, reached # 26 backed by the Carretta orchestra. By this time everyone was enthralled by the recordings about Davy Crockett, so Don tried with a similar tune, Young Abe Lincoln, and had modest success as it reached # 25 b/w Dream World (not here).
Then, in early 1956, he tried his hand at R&R with Teenage Meeting (Gonna Rock It Up Right), but it finished at a disappointing # 80 b/w I Still Have A Prayer with the backing of Dick Jacobs, and in April only did marginally better when his cover of The Rock Island Line ended up at # 59, once more with the Carretta orchestra, b/w Na-Ne Na-Na (not here). He then finished off 1956 with two more R&B covers backed by Jacobs, the first being The Moonglows' See-Saw which peaked at # 59 in November. By now, however, record-buyers were alert to the originals and so it was that The Moonglows saw their version go to # 6 R&B and # 25 Pop Top 100. On the other hand the B-side, From The Bottom Of My Heart, became a # 57 "follow-along" while the original by The Clovers did not chart.
His last hit then came in May 1957 when Mama Guitar, from the film A Face In The Crowd, finished at # 47 with the backing of Dick Jacobs b/w the title tune A Face In The Crowd. It's too bad they didn't include all the B-sides here rather than some of the failed singles and Christmas tunes, but even at that this is the best Don Cornell hits compilation on the market by a wide margin.
