Jasmine 1203 - Donnie Elbert - What Can I Do 1957-1962 (2024) + Booklet (FLAC 274MB)

This brand new CD reissues all his solo singles between 1957-62, across a variety of labels, the first time that these sides have been thus compiled. This is a seriously impressive recorded legacy, albeit much of it largely forgotten since it was first released. Although he would go on to enjoy his biggest commercial successes in the 1970s, notably with souped up revivals of Tamla-Motown material, Donnie Elbert's recording career began back in the 1950s. Indeed, he enjoyed a USA hit with his very first record, 'What Can I Do?' in 1957, which made both the Pop and R&B charts. He subsequently tasted regional success with releases like 'Have I Sinned?', 'Will You Ever Be Mine', 'Half As Old', 'Baby Cakes', etc. I don't need to emphasise how rare and collectable most of these sides are, many of which have never previously appeared on CD. It,s a truly fabulous collection from the man with the sweetest voice! Tasters chosen by USMAN47.

I recently posted Donnie's 1st LP on my own blog, which came out on King Records in 1959, and consisted of his De-Lux Records singles. All of that is contained on this great collection plus much much more! A great post.
