Brooklyn's
Danleers
had a single hit, the brilliantly moony
"One Summer Night."
The 25 performances here trace the group's attempts to recapture the spotlight on a variety of labels (Smash, Mercury, Epic, etc.) from 1958 to 1964. Lead singer
Jimmy Weston
's smooth, full-throated performances on pleading pop ballads make
The Danleers
perfect for slow dancin'. But "I Can't Sleep" is up 'n' at 'em, and 1960's "Little Lover," with its twangy guitar, sounds like the inspiration for
Elvis
's "Little Sister" a year later. It has fine sound, plus a history of the group by
Peter Grendysa
in a sixteen-page booklet. ~ Mark Humphrey, Roundup Newsletter
