Carl Dobkins Jr. was just seventeen years of age and still in High School, when he cut the million-selling My Heart Is An Open Book, in November 1958. In a relatively short recording career he went on to notch up three further hits, If You Don't Want My Lovin, Lucky Devil and Exclusively Yours, plus a huge regional success, Take Time Out, as well as recording several other intriguing sides. For an 18-month period he was one of the hottest young R&amp;R stars in the U.S., making 14 appearances on American Bandstand and headlining numerous one-nighters package tours. This compilation features his first 45, the self-penned Take Hold Of My Hand, recorded for Fraternity in early 1958, plus his releases for U.S. Decca between 1958-62, including his desperately-rare LP, My Heart Is An Open Book, plus a couple of sides which were not originally issued.These records are nowadays all highly collectable among R&amp;R aficionados and are hard to find elsewhere on CD.
