Don Gibson was already an established star, with a dozen or hits under his belt when Ray Charles suddenly made him a household name in the Summer of 1962. Brother Ray’s LP, “Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music”, had sold more than 500,000 units in three months, when Gibson’s ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’ was culled from it as a 45. It sold its first million copies virtually overnight, topped the US charts, and rolled out to become a massive worldwide success. This collection features 34 of Gibson’s songs, performed by a variety of artists, including himself, which range from multi-million-selling, worldwide hits to serious collectors’ rarities. Featured artists include George Jones, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Warren Smith, Ferlin Husky, Bob Luman, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Skeeter Davis, Kitty Wells, Sue Thompson, Ray Charles and more.
