Greatest Hits: The 50's
Gene Ammons
Bob Weinstock, who produced all the music in this collection, is alive and well in Florida. He remembers these occasions fondly, frequently remarking about how Gene Ammons was admired by musicians, loved by the public, and ignored by critics. Gene Ammons had more great hits in the Sixties and Seventies, but none greater than those heard here. . .–Bob Porter
