TOMMY CHARLES –A Singin' Swingin' D.J. LP (1959) FULL ALBUM #beatles 'bigger than jesus' #johnlennon

Tommy Charles (radio DJ in Birmingham, Alabama), the driving force behind the burning of Beatles records after he got word of John Lennon's famous quote "We meant more to kids than Jesus did". Charles was with Birmingham, Alabama’s WSGN radio station, part of the wild and wonderful early days of Top 40 radio. He cut this album in 1959, released on Varsity Records, A Singin’ Swingin’ D.J. is one of those obscure LPs that takes you straight back to the days of jukeboxes, rock ’n’ roll, teenage radio and DJs spinning the latest sounds across America. There’s a great mix of pop, swing, rock ’n’ roll and smooth ’50s vocals, all wrapped up in that unmistakable vintage radio personality style. 00:00 My Funny Valentine 03:37 Lazy River 05:50 Cottage For Sale 08:46 Without A Song 11:26 Trouble And I 14:10 I Believe 17:22 Lonesome Road 21:11 Old Man River 22:54 Laura 26:08 All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings 28:45 She's Funny That Way 31:21 Lucky Old Sun
