From A Jack To A King [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

From A Jack To A King [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

A painfully shy, self-effacing Ned Miller was perhaps the most reluctant singing star of all time, at one stage in the 1960s, he even paid one of his co-writers to go onstage and pretend to be 'Ned Miller' instead of him. Essentially a songwriter who occasionally found himself obliged to cut records, Miller wrote his first million seller "Dark Moon", in 1956 when it became a hit for Gale Storm and Bonnie Guitar. He wrote subsequently and recorded "From A Jack To A King" himself in 1957, although it was unsuccessful the first time around. It was re-issued in late 1962, following interest from a jukebox operator, and went on to become a massive worldwide hit, selling more than two million copies during 1963 alone. This compilation gathers together everything which Ned Miller recorded commercially between 1956-1962 including major collectors' items like "Gypsy/With Enough Love", Spade Cooley's "Cold Grey Bars" and notably, the bizarre "Ring The Bell For Johnny"/"Girl From The Second World" on which he duets with Jan Howard. Four of these sides, i.e. two rare singles, have never previously appeared on CD.
