Album Intro：
2009 collection. The Rivingtons secured their place in musical history when their first 45 reached the top half of the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1962, and the insistently catchy title `Papa Oom Mow Mow' turned every listener into a sing-a-long bass voice. The group followed this with their own answer-disc, `Mama Oom Mow Mow', and went on to capture the dance-craze market with `The Bird Is the Word', a crossover hit in spring 1963, while their two Hot 100 hits were merged into a medley as `Surfin' Bird' by The Trashmen at the end of 1963, ironically out-selling the originals to reach the top 10. The Rivingtons were more than just a novelty group, however, and at the dawn of the Soul era, produced a number of superb deep Soul ballads, of which `I'm Losing My Grip' and `Deep Water' have long been hard-to-find classics of their genre. This CD brings together all of the group's recordings for Liberty in the early 1960's, combining novelty Rock 'N' Roll with wailing Deep Soul ballads. Shout.
