BILLY ECKSTINE

KISS OF FIRE
Description:
Billy favoured jazz vocals but found himself marketed as a ballad singer; he reluctantly accepted this roll when a number of successful records made him the first solo black singer to feature significantly in the mainstream pop charts. Reissues of Billy's recordings relevant to this period have been in short supply, so these rare tracks will enable listeners to acquaint themselves with his warm baritone style and uniuely exaggerated vibrato. Of the songs there are popular contenders that have weathered the years and a number of long forgotten ballads of variable quality, undoubtedly enhanced beyond their worth by Billy's interpretative skills.
