Songwriters have been using boys' and girls' names in songs since popular music became part of everyday life. Harry Dacre wrote Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) in 1892, Ella Shields sang Burlington Bertie from Bow in 1915 and Sweet Georgia Brown and Dinah both came along in 1925. Cab Calloway introduced US to Minnie the Moocher in 1931 and in the forties Lili Marlene was a song popular with soldiers on both sides of World War 2. Rock 'n' roll made the practice even more popular... There was a song for every Johnny and Bobby just as there was for every Sue, Donna or Peggy Sue. Compiled by consummate pop guru Austin Powell, the 2 CD set She's My Girl! He's My Boy! Rounds up songs by many of rock 'n' roll's big names all proclaiming their love for a particular girl, and many a song by some of the top girl singers of the era longing for, or losing a Jimmy, Johnny or Ronnie. Eddie Cochran, the Crickets, Fats Domino and Paul Anka are on CD1 the Boys Sing About the Girls, while Connie Francis, Petula Clark, Alma Cogan and the Shirelles are all on CD2 the Girls Sing About the Boys. Some songs you'll already know, others will hopefully be pleasant discoveries... all told they're a fascinating insight into the pop music of the rock 'n' roll era and how it's stars and forgotten heroes addressed their beloved objects of affection.
