Shout Shout (Knock Yourself Out)

A somewhat reluctant singer, given that he had already carved out a particularly successful career as a song writer for others, Ernie was nevertheless persuaded to record under his own name in 1962 for Seville. Using the songwriting abilities that had helped propel Dion to the top as a template, Ernie came up with 'Shout Shout (Knock Yourself Out)', another infectious slice of pop that vaulted into the Top Ten and made sure the resulting album was an item of interest if nothing else. Whilst Ernie continued to record sporadically for the rest of the decade, his song writing ensured the plaudits carried on. Hallmark.
