Henry earned his nickname from his debut single \"Ain't Got No Home,\" released on Argo Records in December 1956, in which he famously demonstrated his ability to switch mid-song between his natural baritone, a female falsetto, and a deep, croaking frog-like voice — a vocal novelty that immediately set him apart and became his signature. Chess A\u0026amp;R man Paul Gayten had signed him after hearing him perform the song, and it became a Top 20 pop hit and a Top 3 R\u0026amp;B hit, launching one of the most distinctive careers in Crescent City music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compilation spans Henry's entire run of Argo label singles and covers the full arc of his chart success, from that breakthrough debut through his remarkable commercial resurgence in 1961. After several years of modest follow-ups, Henry returned with two Top 10 hits that crossed over on both sides of the Atlantic: \"(I Don't Know Why) But I Do\", which reached number four on the US pop chart and number three in the UK, and \"You Always Hurt the One You Love,\" a warm, rolling cover of the 1940s standard that reached number 12 in the US and number six in the UK. The 20-track set — spanning Side A cuts like \"Lonely Tramp,\" \"I'm a Country Boy,\" and \"It Won't Be Long,\" and Side B tracks including \"Lonely Street,\" \"On Bended Knees,\" \"Dream Myself a Sweetheart,\" and the closing \"Come On and Dance\" — offers a concise but comprehensive survey of a performer whose blend of soulful balladry, up-tempo R\u0026amp;B, and irresistible vocal eccentricity made him one of the most charming originals of the early rock and roll era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53642170237242,"sku":"38623","price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-23_at_2.09.51_PM.jpeg?v=1782238542","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/aint_got_no_home_the_singles_collection_1956_62","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
