Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O

September of 1956... a quintet consisting of future children's TV host Wally Whyton, Johnny Booker, Jean Van Der Bosch, Tony Tolhurst and John Pilgrim auditioned for the head of Parlophone Records, George Martin. They signed up in January of 1957, their second single, an song by Whyton called 'Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O,' became a top ten hit. Several more hits followed. Pre - Beatles, The Vipers were George Martin's biggest signing to reach the British teen market. In fact their hit single Maggie May was to influence a group called the Quarrymen, who 5 years later also signed to Parlophone, having changed their name to the Beatles, and eight years after that, released their own version on Let It Be. After Lonnie Donegan, they were the most successful skiffle act in Britain, with half a dozen singles between Nov. 56 - Oct. 58. They also became one of the biggest stage attractions among British groups. A lovingly compiled 21 track collection featuring all the hit singles, album tracks as well as a couple of rarities - this truly the Very Best of.
