Teen-Age Triangle/More Teen-Age Triangle

Teen-Age Triangle/More Teen-Age Triangle (1999) more music like this

by James Darren

The practice of grooming teen idols and marketing them through popular TV shows hasn't changed much in 50 years, and in the early '60s, these three artists were reaping hit records as the career bonus for appearing on network TV and in teen movies like Gidget. This is pop-rock lite with a nary a sneer or swagger to be found in its 24 original ...

Goodbye Cruel World (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1957-1961 combines five discs from Rhino's Billboard series in one slipcase.

Among the ...

by James Darren

18 songs, mostly from the early '60s, that rank among the least impressive teen idol recordings, although they were far from the least popular.

Lou Christie Meets James Darren

Lou Christie Meets James Darren (2009) more music like this

by Lou Christie/James Darren

During the early rock & roll era, teen idols and groups often toured in packages, taking the stage for a quick set of four or five songs, then clearing out of the way for the next act to do its four or five songs, and in some ways that's what this "meets" series from Collectables feels like, which combines two vocal artists -- five songs apiece. ...

Love Among the Young (1962) more music like this

by James Darren

James Darren's fourth long-player, Love Among the Young (1962), is a concept album of sorts as each of the dozen selections are love songs that actually feature the word "young" in the name. The platter was also his last for the Columbia Pictures subsidiary Colpix Records. Rather than back the vocalist with the looming big-band orchestration that ...

Album No. 1 (1960) more music like this

by James Darren

Although his name is inextricably linked to his late-'50s teen idol status, James Darren's first long-player -- the somewhat redundantly designated Album No. 1 (1959) -- is much more akin to adult pop than early rock. With a sizeable chunk of the dozen-song list derived from the rich catalog of Americana popular standards, Darren comes off more ...
