Customer Reviews

The early sixties classics
Neil was a prolific songwriter who had many hits via other people's recordings, beginning with Stupid Cupid (Connie Francis). He also had his share of hits with his own recordings. These came in two distinct phases - the early sixties and the mid-seventies. This compilation focuses on his early sixties music.

Neil was hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic in the early sixties. In America, thirteen of his singles made the top forty, with many of them going much higher. In the UK, he never made it to number one but nevertheless had seven top ten hits and four minor hits, the top ten hits being I go ape, Oh Carol, Stairway to heaven, Calendar girl, Little devil, Happy birthday sweet sixteen and Breaking up is hard to do (which was a number one hit in America).

This collection contains all the essential tracks from Neil's music of the early sixties.
