The Best Of Georgia Gibbs: The Mercury Years by Georgia Gibbs - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

The Best of the Mercury Years contains 25 tracks from Georgia Gibb's tenure at Mercury Records. Over the course of the compilation, all of the vocalist's charting singles -- including the number one hits "Kiss of Fire" and "Dance With Me Henry" -- are included, as well as terrific lesser-known numbers which help make this album the definitive retrospective of Gibb's career. ~ Thom Owens
