Between 1965 and 1967 – alongside the likes of Ronnie Burns, Bobby and Laurie, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, The Easybeats, M.P.D. Limited and Ray Brown and the Whispers – Rowe experienced unprecedented popularity as one of the country’s premier beat pop sensations. With support from his stellar backing band The Playboys, Rowe created astounding scenes of mass hysteria among teenage fans that were akin to Beatlemania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis early singles ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’, ‘I (Who Have Nothing)’, the double A-sided ‘Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)’ \/ ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘Ooh La La’ and ‘It’s Not Easy’ remain among the most successful, and best remembered, hits of the decade. He recorded ‘Ooh La La’, ‘It’s Not Easy’ and ‘Going Home’ in London, featuring legendary UK session players Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Phil Dennys and Clem Cattini\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as keeping his singing career active into the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and beyond, Rowe turned his attention to acting. His most famous role was as Jean Valjean in the Sydney production of the stage musical Les Misérables, his showstopping song being the powerful, emotional ballad ‘Bring Him Home’. Furthermore, he took part in the successful arena rock spectacular Long Way to the Top (August 2002) and the 2014 Go!! Show Golden 50th Anniversary Tour. He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005. He continues to tour to this day. His recorded tally now amounts to 10 studio albums and 51 singles and EP releases, to say nothing of the thousands of performances he has given down the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this personally curated collection, Normie Rowe has selected his greatest hits plus a further range of overlooked songs that help shine the spotlight on his phenomenal vocal talents. He has included eight tracks from his 2007 album Missing in Action, reflecting on his experiences before, during, and after the Vietnam War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHighlights\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’, ‘Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)’, ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘Ooh La La’, ‘It’s Not Easy’, ‘I (Who Have Nothing)’, ‘The Stones I Throw’, ‘The Breaking Point’, ‘Penelope’, ‘Going Home’, ‘Sunshine Secret’, ‘Elizabeth’, ‘Rock And Roll You’re Beautiful’, ‘Missing In Action’, ‘Still In Saigon’, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Travellin’ Man’, ‘Bring Him Home\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures 45 tracks on Double CD – all the cherished songs from his extensive career \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes the hits ‘Que Sera, Sera’, ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘Ooh La La’, ‘It’s Not Easy’, ‘Going Home’, ‘Bring Him Home’, ‘Missing in Action’ and more!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA personally curated collection, shining the spotlight on his phenomenal vocal talents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom vibrant R\u0026amp;B beat pop to sumptuous soul and emotional tenor ballads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigitally Remastered by Gil Matthews, Colour booklet with rare photos and new interview with Normie Rowe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Listing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eDISC 1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. \u003c\/strong\u003eIT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eQUE SERA, SERA (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eSHAKIN’ ALL OVER \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eOOH LA LA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eIT’S NOT EASY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eI (Who Have Nothing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eTHE STONES I THROW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 8. \u003c\/strong\u003ePRIDE AND JOY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eTELL HIM I’M NOT HOME\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10. \u003c\/strong\u003eSTUBBORN KIND OF FELLOW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11.\u003c\/strong\u003e RAT RACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12.\u003c\/strong\u003e THE BREAKING POINT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e13\u003c\/strong\u003e.
