Ya Ya (65th Anniversary/deluxe Edition/translucent Red Vinyl) [LP] Vinyl Record

Limited clear red vinyl LP pressing. If it only takes one song to be forever acclaimed and associated with ""Ya Ya"" by Lee Dorsey is one such number. If this was the only great song he was ever known for, it surely paved it's way on the r&b and rock scene early in 1961 and has maintained it's run even in the new millennium. A smash hit for this New Orleans born performer, and later covered by John Lennon on his ""Roots"" Lp, and other superstars like The Steve Miller Band who had a major rock radio hit with it in 1988, Johnny Halliday, Tony Sheridan, Lee Michaels, Ike & Tina Turner, Petula Clark, and many others, it's easily one of more popular New Orleans r&b songs ever recorded. The #1 r&b charter, and top 5 in the top forty track was pulled from the Lee's debut album of the same name ""Ya Ya."" The legendary 1961 LP features a treasure trove of more stunning follow up hits like ""Do Re Mi"" ""Eenie Meeni Minee Mo"" and ""People Gonna Talk."" Even more great r&b rockers like ""Give Me You"" and ""Chin Chin"" were featured on the Fury Records classic which has truly stood the test of time. Friday Music is very pleased to celebrate the 65th Birthday of the Lee Dorsey classic ""Ya Ya"" album. Presented on striking translucent red vinyl, this will also be featured in it's original album cover art from the Fury 1961 release. To further enhance your Lee Dorsey listening hours, we are also including 3 bonus single tracks for the first ever on an official LP release, his smash hit ""You Are My Sunshine"" and the greats ""Hoodlum Joe"" and ""When I Meet My Baby"" Produced by soul legend Bobby Robinson and mastered impeccably from the Fury recordings by Joe Reagoso (B.B. King/Buddy Guy/Canned Heat), this will be one of the more important r&b and early rock revisits to vinyl this year.
