Wink Martindale - I Was That Soldier [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.This compilation presents the very best of Wink Martindale's early record career, mainly for Dot Records between 1958-62, but kicking off with a pair of almost unfeasibly rare R&R 45s recorded for a tiny indie label, OJ, in 1957. Many of these sides are hard to find elsewhere on CD. rr

In Britain, Wink Martindale is known solely for his signature hit, the multi-platinum 'Deck Of Cards', which has made the UK charts on three separate occasions, 1959, 1963 and 1973. However in the US, where Martindale has enjoyed a seven-decade career, he is an acknowledged high profile multi-media personality, having had successes as a disc jockey, radio personality, television game show host, and TV producer.rr

His spinoff recording career yielded a dozen or so further 45s, which included further US hits, 'Lincoln's Gettysburg Address' and 'Black Land Farmer' and a couple of big-selling, now highly collectable LPs, 'Deck Of Cards' and 'Big Bad John'.rr

Although now in his late eighties, Wink is still active as a TV presenter in the US.
