Bobby Charles
Alligators Sprockets and Bended Knees 2CD

Although he remains best known for See You Later Alligator, a worldwide hit for Bill Haley & His Comets, Louisiana-born singer/songwriter Bobby Charles penned several other Rock 'n' Roll and Rhythm & Blues classics.
He also enjoyed a parallel singing career in the 1950s, during the course of which he registered national R&B hits like Later Alligator and Time Will Tell, as well as regional successes like Why Did You Leave, Take It Easy Greasy and Laura Lee.
These are all included on this double disc set which anthologises his early recording career, comprising everything that Bobby recorded for Chess and Imperial between 1955-62.
Also included, by way of bonus tracks, are well-known covers of eight of his songs by Bill Haley, Fats Domino, John Fred, Clarence Frogman Henry and Johnnie Allan, all of which were significant hits.
This is the most comprehensive collection of Bobby Charles’ early career currently available.
