Shaun Cassidy - Greatest Hits

It was the first recording I ever bought, Shaun Cassidy said of Da Doo Ron Ron, Fourteen years after The Ronettes' version hit the charts and peaked at #3, Shaun's own recording of the song went straight to number one.

That's Rock 'N' Roll was the follow-up, a song that went to #3 in 1977. Shaun's recording of another Eric Carmen song, Hey Deanie, went top ten the following year. Shaun was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy in 1977. Both the songs and Shaun's delivery of same were seamless pop at it's best. In addition to including his top ten hits, this one-of-a-kind collection also features some of Shaun's own compositions including Teen Dream, Break For The Street, Hard Love; and She's Right . Shaun's rendition of the Lovin' Spoonful classic Do You Believe In Magic is featured here, as is his cover of the Ian Hunter song, Once Bitten Twice Shy (produced by the legendary Todd Rundgren), who also produced two of the other songs on this collection - Cool Fire and So Sad About Us. Shaun's recording of the Brian Wilson-penned It's Like Heaven is also included in this first-of-its-kind collection.

It's Shaun's memorable foray into pop music that this special collection salutes, one which should bring back great memories for many fans. Another listen to Da Doo Ron Ron will leave no doubt as to why Shaun holds the distinction of having the best-selling solo debut in history. Maybe it's time he looked through his record collection again.
