Content
[edit]Listen to Lefty is one of the very few albums released by Lefty in the 1950s and only the second of his then very young career. Many of the songs included, like the 1950 hits noted above and the 1951 hits, "I Want to Be with You Always", "Always Late (With Your Kisses)", "Mom and Dad's Waltz"; and the 1952 hit "Don't Stay Away (Till Love Grows Cold)". The only tracks not hit singles at the time of release, were "Look What Thoughts Will Do", and "If You Can Spare the Time".
Upon the album's release sometime from mid to late 1952, it went mostly unnoticed.
