Description

"The Best of Frankie Ford" EP Ace 105 (1959). The nineteen year-old (real name Frank Guzzo) had one of the catchiest singles of 1959 in "Sea Cruise" and a sure-fire formula for success -- at least according to Sam Phillips! -- a young white male who sang like an R&B singer. As Frankie Ford, he charted four other singles over the next two years, including a version of fellow Louisianan Joe Jones' "You Talk Too Much" -- Jones took the tune to #3, Ford only to #87 despite almost simultaneous Billboard chart debuts. His other releases peaked between #72 and 97. But "Sea Cruise" is a classic! And this copy is classic, possibly the nicest in existence! Condition: MT 9/ NM 8. From the GRT Collection
