This collection offers a enjoyable overview of his work from the primary era of his career.

Ray Peterson, born in Texas in 1935, was a singer with an extraordinary four-octave range, enabling him to reach extremely high notes, and that distinctive talent enabled him to get a recording contract with RCA after he moved to Los Angeles. He had a number of hits, the biggest and most memorable of which were with two very different landmark songs - the teenage tragedy saga 'Tell Laura I Love Her', and the dramatic balled 'The Wonder Of You', later taken to new heights by Elvis Presley. This 36-track 2-CD collection comprises most of his A and B sides on the RCA and Dunes labels from this era, which include the titles from his album 'Tell Laura I Love Her'. It features his big US hits with the original versions of 'The Wonder of You' and 'Tell Laura I Love Her' and his other hits from these years, including 'Goodnight My Love', 'Answer Me My Love', 'Corrine Corrina' and 'Missing You. He was a highly distinctive and notable talent, who was one of the many artists whose career was submerged by the British Invasion, and this collection offers a enjoyable overview of his work from the primary era of his career.
