Rockin' With Bobby: The Essential Hits 1957-62

His breakthrough arrived in 1958 with ‘Rockin’ Robin’, an irresistible performance featuring playful bird calls and a driving rhythm. The record reached No.2 on the US pop chart, topped the R&B chart and became his only UK chart hit. Its enduring appeal was confirmed when Michael Jackson took his revival into the US and UK Top3. Day’s songwriting was equally important to his legacy. His ‘Little Bitty Pretty One’ reached a wider audience through Thurston Harris’ hit version, while ‘Over And Over’ enjoyed a remarkable second life when the Dave Clark Five took it to No.1 in America in 1965.
