Gilbert O’Sullivan is one of the UK’s most successful singers,
songwriters and musicians, selling over 15 million albums and singles. To celebrate an amazing forty-five year recording career, Union Square Music will be releasing ‘The Very Best Of Gilbert O’Sullivan’ on 5th March 2012.
Part of a major Gilbert O’Sullivan reissue campaign the album chronicles songs from his debut album, ‘Himself’ in 1971, through to his most recent album ‘Gilbertville’ and features no less than 14 top 10 UK hits, including the multi-million selling US chart-topper and Grammy-nominated ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’ and the unforgettable UK number 1 singles ‘Clair’ and ‘Get Down’, the latter of which won him an Ivor Novello Award in 1973 for Most Performed British Song.
Gilbert’s first two albums, ‘Himself’ and ‘Back To Front’ both stayed in the UK chart for over a year (86 and 64 weeks
respectively) and in 1972 Gilbert was the biggest selling UK artist in the world. The incredible success of ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’ in America catapulted Gilbert into stardom and he made several appearance on US shows hosted by music legends such as Dean Martin and Burt Bacharach.
