Sanford Clark

...Rocks

(Bear Family)

Ike-era jukeboxes quaked from such 45s. Possessed of magnetic smoothness, crooner Sanford was among upstarts who grabbed microphones in those years. He dispatched uptempo material with comfortableness. Even his forays into low-key Country territories featured everyman poise that perhaps should have drawn greater celebrity in their time. In later career years, he sought with limited artistic merit to conform to a modernized record market. (Some such instances are included here.) But it is for his output during Rock'n'Roll's primal age that he is rightly admired.
