With this CD album 'What The Heck!' by Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones, Bear Family Records® presents the complete recordings of the early rockers from Spartanburg, South Carolina, a decade later one of the strongholds of Southern Rock. -They were all young teenagers when they made rock 'n' roll history in 1957 with Black Slacks, a true rock smash and chart success! -Bennett played a rousing lead guitar and sang in tandem with rhythm guitarist Howard 'Sparky' Childress; bassist Wayne Arthur and drummer Jimmy 'Sticks' Denton formed the powerful rhythm section. -The previously released 10"LP on Bear Family (BAF14013) features Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones' best rockers - this CD now delivers everything, from their earliest recordings through the rare '65 ABC single and the recordings released on Spanish EPs in 1964, to an appearance on Nat 'King' Cole's TV program. -Carefully restored recordings; extensive liner notes by Chicago music journalist and historian Bill Dahl tell the story of this young band. Only in their mid-teens and full of fire, Joe Bennett and The Sparkletones roared out of Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1957 with a rocking ditty extolling the classy virtues of Black Slacks. Bennett played sizzling lead guitar and sang in tandem with rhythm guitarist Howard 'Sparky' Childress, while bassist Wayne Arthur and drummer Jimmy 'Sticks' Denton laid down a mighty commotion behind the pair.
