Jim Lowe was a disc jockey, singer and songwriter from Springfield, Missouri

Jim Lowe was a disc jockey, singer and songwriter from Springfield, Missouri, who achieved a career highlight in 1956 with the US No. 1 and UK No. 8 'The Green Door', one of the memorable early hits of the rock 'n' roll era. Over a period of three years during the mid-1950s he had a run of chart entries which enables him to maintain his recording career into the 1960s before concentrating on his radio work. This great-value 60-track 2-CD set comprises most of his A & B sides for the Mercury, Dot and Decca labels during this era, plus EP tracks and the tracks from his Mercury album 'Door Of Fame' and his Dot album 'The Songs They Sing Behind The Green Door'. It naturally includes his landmark hit 'Green Door', along with all his pop, R&B and country chart entries, which include the Top 20 hits 'Maybellene', 'Four Walls' and 'Talking To The Blues'. It's a comprehensive overview of his career, and an entertaining showcase for a versatile performer who was very much of his era.
