{"product_id":"loop-de-loop-the-very-best-of-johnny-thunder","title":"Loop de Loop: The Very Best of Johnny Thunder","description":"Not to be confused with Johnny Thunders, the legendary junkie guitarist of the New York Dolls and the Heartbreakers, Johnny Thunder was a dynamic R\u0026amp;B and rock \u0026amp; roll singer who originally sang as a backing vocalist for the Drifters and the Ink Spots. He had a hit in 1963 with \"Loop de Loop,\" and an infectious dance number reminiscent of Hank Ballard or a more soulful Chubby Checker. Although he had another minor hit a few years later with \"Make Love to Me,\" a duet with Ruby Winters, during the early '60s he wasn't able to successfully follow up \"Loop de Loop.\" Nevertheless, even if they didn't chart, a few of his subsequent singles were pretty good, as evidenced by Collectables' Loop de Loop: The Very Best of Johnny Thunder. It's certainly not flawless -- a few of the songs are shameless attempts to replicate \"Loop de Loop,\" and others are simply silly -- but for archivists of early-'60s R\u0026amp;B and rock, it's worth a listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51489804255519,"sku":"894232246622","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b9fc61f90e29610665d32b193c8041ad.jpg?v=1777822265","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/loop-de-loop-the-very-best-of-johnny-thunder","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
