Jimmy WAKELYFrom Cowboy To Country
In parallel with his screen appearances, Wakely also
had a thriving recording career and on occasion could pen a useful song. A good
selection of hits are featured here, such as "Song Of The Sierras", his 1948
number one Country hit "I Love You So Much It Hurts", from the same year "Mine
All Mine", and from 1949 "Till The End Of The World" (a duet with an
unidentified female partner) and "I Wish I Had A Nickel". In the same year,
Capitol producer Lee Gillette teamed Wakely up with 'Pop' singer Margaret
Whiting, resulting in another number one with "Slippin' Around", and the B-side,
"Wedding Bells", also showing strongly. "Slippin' Around" crossed over to the
Pop charts where again it hit the top spot, and further duets with Miss Whiting
did them both proud. See also JASMCD 2603 and JASBOX 19-4.
