Ace has recently released the first-ever complete anthology of Adams’ singles for Ric and Ron Records with I Won’t Cry: The Complete Ric and Ron Singles 1959-1964. Ric and its sister label Ron were

With her first husband Tony Hatch, Trent penned some of the most indelible songs of a golden age of pop music – “I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love,” “Don’t Sleep in the Subway,” “The Other Man’s Grass is Always Greener,” “Joanna” – and saw her work recorded by many of the era’s most remarkable performers, among them Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Scott
