Freddy Cannon - The Complete Releases 1959-62 2 CD Set - NEW For Sale

Freddy Cannon, born Frederick Anthony Picariello Jr. in 1936, was one of the most energetic and charismatic rock and roll performers of the early 1960s. Known for his explosive stage presence and signature "Freddy Cannon Boom" – a powerful, propulsive beat that drove his biggest hits – he became a fixture on both the pop and rock charts . This 2016 Acrobat Records compilation is the definitive collection of his early career, gathering every A-side and B-side released between 1959 and 1962 – a period that saw him score fourteen Billboard Hot 100 hits . It includes his breakthrough smash "Tallahassee Lassie" (which reached No. 6 in 1959), the iconic amusement park anthem "Palisades Park" (No. 3 in 1962), and the classic "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" (No. 3 in 1960) . Cannon's high-energy blend of rock and roll, R&B, and pop made him a precursor to the British Invasion sound, and his recordings remain a vibrant snapshot of American rock and roll at its most joyful and unpretentious . His influence extended beyond music, as he was one of the first rock artists to tour Europe and Japan, helping to spread American rock culture globally .
