Description

Little Willie John "Fever" Mono LP King 564 (1956). John is best known for his #24 Pop hit "Fever", a song that Peggy Lee took to #8 in 1958. Little Willie managed to chart 14 times on the Pop charts between 1956 and 1961, but only four of those made the Top 40, none above #13. His real success came on the R&B charts where he had 17 Top 25 hits, and where "Fever" held the #1 position for five weeks. Four of his earliest hits are included here on his first album, which was reissued in 1957 with a different cover, making the original all the more scarce. In this grade -- well, we haven't seen a nicer one! Condition: MT 9/ EX 7. From the GRT Collection
