Description

Bobby Vinton was hugely popular in America during the sixties though he didn't make much impact in Britain at the time, scoring only a top twenty hit (Roses are red) and a top thirty hit (There I've said it again). Following its use in a commercial, Blue velvet made number two in the UK charts in 1990, thereby awakening British interest is this excellent singer although there no further UK hits except for a re-issue of Roses are red.I'm glad that Bobby finally gained recognition in the UK, however belatedly, because he was a singer of real quality. Apart from Bobby's own hits, which (in Americamore…) included such classics as Mr Lonely and Blue on blue, Bobby also did some fine covers including Halfway to paradise (a USA hit for Tony Orlando and a UK hit for Billy Fury), Take good care of my baby (Bobby Vee), To know you is to love you (a hit for the Teddy bears in the fifties and Peter and Gordon in the sixties), I love how you love me (Paris sisters) and Sealed with a kiss (Brian Hyland - this eventually became a UK hit again when covered by Jason Donovan).Fans of early sixties pop music should give Bobby Vinton a listen. Some American hits from the sixties is missing as well as his later seventies music, but this compilation will satisfy surely most people.
