Format:Audio CD
CLARENCE "FROGMAN"/"TOADMAN" HENRY in 1961 had two big hit U.K. singles-his biggest[and best],was a great rocker[both sides are just brilliant]-"[I DON'T KNOW WHY]BUT I DO" / "JUST MY BABY AND ME" upon it's release it was stormin' up the charts,and rockin' in the top 3. Another good single would peak at number 6. with-"YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE" / "LITTLE SUZY" I actually prefer the "B" side,but the "A" side had been a U.K.top twenty hit for-CONNIE FRANCIS-in 1958.
Many other great songs are on this 18 track CD,including-"AIN'T GOT NO HOME"-a 1956,recording,but released in U.K. in 1957,[but it was a non-charter here],other classic rockers are-"LONELY STREET" "STANDING IN THE NEED OF LOVE" "ON BENDED KNEES" from '61/'62 amongst others.
Clarence Henry's recordings had great rockin' backing music, saxophones/pianos etc[just listen to "both" sides of his classic top 3. smash hit single-both sides are rockers],and are very similar in style to the classic recordings of the great and legendary-FATS DOMINO-the "NEW ORLEANS" Sound-both legends come from that same deep south state as well.
The CD also comes with an informative 16 pages booklet,with photos,about this American singer and his classic recordings.
Regards,Bill.

I originally bought this album for the song "Aint got no home" which is featured on the lost boys film but not on the soundtrack. I honestly thought it'd be the only song on the album I liked seeing as I'm not a big fan of this style. How wrong I was. It wasn't long before this was in my CD player more often than not and I fell in love with the whole album. I'm not suggesting that will be the same for everyone but the chances are if you're looking at this now that something led you here and I think you should take the chance and buy this album. Ribbit!

Having had this album for Christmas it was every bit as good as I hoped. Although not a completely definitive "Frogman" album it does contain his two most well known songs: The bizarre yet brilliant "Ain't got no home" and a superb song that features on the Forrest Gump soundtrack "But I Do". The only other song I know well which isn't featured here is "Sea Cruise" and although a great song is no major loss.
For those who may have heard Ain't got no home and been put off by the singing like a girl and a frog ... this is the only track on the album that features him singing this way, the occasion slip into a deeper tone sounds similar to his frog voice but all the rest of the songs feature him singing in a style very similar to Fats Domino (Henry's inspiration)
This album is well worth the money though people may want to have a brief listen to some of the songs to make sure its to their taste. A great album of the work of a little known quality singer.
