Alma Cogan, born in Whitechapel, in the East
End of London in 1932, was a British pop
singer, who enjoyed huge success in the UK
during the 1950s and into the early 60s, and
was one of the few artists to maintain a chart
profile from the early ‘50s through the
upheaval caused by the advent of rock ‘n’
roll and beyond.
Her career was tragically brought to an end
by cancer in 1966 at the age of just 34.
Known as “The Girl With A Giggle In Her
Voice”, she specialised in old-school pop,
with her releases and hits liberally sprinkled
with covers of US hits and novelty-flavoured
material.
This 59-track 2-CD collection comprises all
her 21 UK hits, along with selected A and B
sides of her UK releases on HMV and
Columbia during this era.
It features her UK No. 1 “Dreamboat”, along
with the Top 20 entries “Bell Bottom Blues”,
“I Can’t Tell A Waltz From A Tango”, “Never
Do A Tango With An Eskimo”, “Little Things
Mean A Lot”, “Sugartime”, “Twenty Tiny
Fingers” and more.
Along with her mother, she managed her
own career, designed and made her dozens
of stage gowns, and made her Kensington
home a centre of London showbiz life, with
the Beatles as regular guests.
She was a highly individual personality and
this collection is an entertaining showcase
for her distinctive style of pop.
