Johnnie Ray - Showcase Of Hits
Review by Iaia Cocoi
Johnnie Ray's album Showcase of Hits is a timeless classic that showcases the singer's unique voice and style. The album features some of Ray's biggest hits, including "Cry," "The Little White Cloud That Cried," and "Just Walking in the Rain."
The album is a perfect introduction to Ray's music, as it captures his signature sound and emotional delivery. The songs are all beautifully arranged and produced, with Ray's voice taking center stage. His powerful and soulful voice is perfectly suited to the ballads, and he brings a genuine emotion to each song.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cry," which was a huge hit for Ray in the 1950s. The song perfectly captures his unique style, with its soaring vocals and emotional lyrics. Another highlight is "The Little White Cloud That Cried," which showcases Ray's ability to convey heartbreak and sadness in his music.

?Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along who'd blame them?

I was a teenager when Johnny Ray came to Singapore and stayed at Raffles Hotel. I was mad about him went to the Airport , Raffles Hotel and to his show. Loved his voice snd all his songs. I am now 82 and will never forget that day. Still listen to his music brings back such wonderful memories. God Bless you.

Seeing and hearing Johnny Ray here, I don't think I've ever heard him better. He hits those notes so perfectly. It took me until the age of 80 to realize how good he was.
