What a amazing man i meet him in 1963 never for got him ❤ thank you so much Bobby vee always will remember 😊 RIP from me from a woman in North Wales UK 🇬🇧 💙
Hey folks, Do you remember this PBS Buddy Holly tribute show which was done in 1988? In addition to Bobby Vee, there were a lot of other performers featured. For me, however, Bobby Vee's medley of "What to Do," "Crying, Waiting, Hoping," and "Listen to Me" was the highlight of the show. Vee would have been about 46 at the time of this show, and his hair had obviously receded quite a bit since his teenage years, but if you look carefully at his face as he is singing, it seems to me he is truly feeling the lyrics as well as singing them. Much of Bobby Vee's career work has been a reflection of Buddy Holly's music and influence, and the result of that influence has been some very fine work by Bobby Vee. I, for one, have for many years truly appreciated Bobby Vee's total body of work, much as I have long appreciated Buddy Holly's. Bobby Vee's Holly medley was truly touching for me. This video says he was singing with the Crickets, but he was introduced by Kris Kristofferson as singing with the Ricochets. I recorded this on VHS tape at the time, and I still enjoy the show, but it would be nice to have the whole show on a good quality DVD. I hope others may enjoy Bobby Vee as much as I have since I first heard him shortly after 3 February 1959. If you look at some of his recent appearances which can be found on UA-cam, Vee's hairline does not seem to have receded any further, but his hair is now silver. His look is a bit more mature, but in spite of the passing years, he still manages to keep something of his youth in his face, and he still brings a smile to my face and a warmth in my memories. Best wishes, Dave Wile
Hey folks,In my previous post I made a mistake as to the songs in the medley. It was actually "What to Do," "Crying, Waiting, Hoping," and "Learning the Game" instead of "Listen to Me" as I noted. Best wishes,Dave Wile
I was never a big Bobby Vee fan in his early years, but his performance at this 1988 Buddy Holly Tribute was tops. I agree with you about the DVD, sure would be nice to have.
Come to think about it, I recorded that original show on VHS back then. I'll have to dig it out and see if it still plays, if one of my old VHS tape players still work.
@@JohnAllen-gg1oz I agree! I found it on You Tube, I believe it was last year or so, haven't stopped playing it yet! My brother bought the 45 record back then & I have it in my collection now! A little scratched up, but still playable! I didn't know Bobby's brother played lead guitar for the Shadows, but I do now. Love it!

I taped the show as well. My fav song of his is still Suzie Baby, his first in '59.
