For readers new to 1950s popular music, here is a guide to some big names (worth collecting?)

I consider it cowardly to give a negative review without contacting the guide writer first to discuss a problem - but I guess some people are like that

The contenders (see other guides also)

1 Johnnie "Cry" Ray *2 Doris " Bewitched" Day *3 Mel "Velvet" Torme *4 Kay "Oh babe" Starr

5 Harry "Island in the sun" Belafonte 6 Rosemary "hey there" Clooney 7 Bing "True love" Crosby

8 Jo "Make love to me" Stafford  9 Tommy "All in the game" Edwards 10 Eartha "Santa baby" Kitt
