I was in Minnesota, 13 years old,working on a farm outside Perley, the summer of 63, and Fargo-Moorhead station KUTT would play Bobby Vee endlessly. Little did I know that he was from the area. The Night has a Thousand Eyes is the first 45 I ever bought at home, in South Texas.
Bobby Vee came to perform in Bangkok in the 80's.It was unfortunate that he had to deal with a bad promoter.I was glad to offer him friendship and consolation,but I think he had a very bad experience that he never came back to Thailand again.I just wanted him to know that he has many loyal fans n Thailand and I pray for his health.
I saw him perform live in the mid-80’s in Orlando. Fabulous show. Got back stage after the show and chatted with him for about 1/2 hour. He was a truly nice guy who talked to me so nicely. I was a professional musician at the time. So we talked a lot about music. He autographed one of his earliest albums I had brought me. He also gave me a cassette tape of some recordings that he had made which had never been released. On the way home I listened to the cassette in my car. Fabulous stuff! I had given him my contact info as we said goodbye. To my surprise, I received a post card from him from another city in his tour schedule. A very kind, warm-hearted handwritten note. I still have all of these things which I will cherish until the day I die. Wonderful guy! Wonderful voice! I will never forget him.
I grew up listening to him, my mother would play his music constantly, and thankful got a chance to see him live. RIP you will never be forgotten..........Like a Rubber Ball ...Keep on Bouncing back to you.....
One of my all time favourite songs, Bobby was the most talented of the teen idols of the early 60s and has a solid place in the history of popular music. He had, and still has, a great voice and had some great song writers behind him. Wonderful to see this clip which I believe is from a British pop film 'Just for fun'. I remember seeing the film on during the summer holidays when I was a teenager in the UK in the early 1980s. My Aunt saw Bobby on a tour of his to the UK in the 1960s, and had many of his hits on 7 inch singles. Bobby toured the UK as recently as 2011. Sad to hear he has Alzheimers, but it doesn't look like this is stopping him recording, and he has a wonderful family around him who share his love and talent of music.
So shocked when I learned about Bobby Vee's passing that I was unable to concentrate on anything else. My personal bests were this one, "Run To Him", & "Sharing You".
this is when male singers wore suits. He had a big hit with this one. And he looked really cute in that suit!
Such a great song. Why can't they make good clean music like this anymore.
I can listen to this all day long!
The speed is too fast... and the sound is over-modulated.
RIP....he just passed away from complications of Alzheimers. He has some wonderful, classic tunes we will always have to keep his memory alive.

Over modulated causing distortion

Rest in peace Bobby. We'll miss you. Thanks for the great legacy of song!
