Uncover the captivating story behind Jimmy Sweeney’s album, Without You. This compilation traces the intriguing tale of a decades-old myth surrounding a mysterious singer whose 10″ acetate demo caught the attention of Elvis Presley in June 1954. Legend has it that Sam Phillips, unable to identify the singer, asked Elvis to perform the song as his debut record. However, Elvis felt he couldn’t capture its essence and ultimately recorded ‘That’s All Right’ instead. The mystery deepened over the years until Chris Kennedy, a diligent writer, identified the artist as Jimmy Sweeney in early 2017, with confirmation from multiple sources, including Sweeney’s daughter, Eugenia.
Now, for the first time, Sweeney’s masterpiece is available under his own name. In addition to the unforgettable title track ‘Without You’, this album showcases some of Sweeney’s finest recordings, many of which have never been released to the public. This release is a must for any collector of top rated rare vinyl records for sale and cheap vintage soul music vinyl records. Don’t miss the chance to own this essential piece of music history!
