Lucky girl ❤

Bobby is alive and 88.

I'm 19 now and I love bobby vinton's music, i wish I was born earlier in early 40s

He always had a knack of choosing the right standards to record. What a beautiful job he did on this live performance!

Got to be worlds top 10 singers

Ah, I am beyond excited to finally see this! Thank you so much! "My Heart Belongs to Only You" is one of my favorite songs of all time and I've wanted to see Bobby sing it live on the Sullivan show for 30 years. I've played his record countless times and sung the song myself in shows in front of audiences. Bobby's record charted at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 right at the start of the British Invasion, and would have probably charted higher otherwise, as Bobby's previous record, "There, I've Said It Again" went all the way to number 1. "My Heart" did chart at number 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Like many of Bobby's hits, the song had originally charted for others in the early 1950's. In this case, June Christy and Bette McLaurin both released versions in 1952. These were followed by other versions in the 1950's with Mary Swan's 1958 record being one of the stand-outs. Another fantastic version is the one by Jackie Wilson which was released and charted at 65 on the Hot 100 in 1961. Though all these versions have their charms, it wasn't until Bobby recorded the song that it became a major success, 12 years after it was written by Dorothy Daniels and Frank Daniels. Thank you again for this incredible post; one of those I've been wishing for so long!

"Blue Velvet", Mr Lonely", and too many others to mention make B.V. the ballad king of the early and mid 60s and did more to cause foged-up windows on high school love birds' cars than any other recording artist of that magical era which, unfortunately, passed too quickly and most likely will never be equalled or repeated in its uniquely American innocence and charm. 😊

I was merely an infant when this aired, but I heard his music in my house. I remember Blue Velvet, Roses are Red, and Mr. Lonely. Sweet performance!😊

I was fortunate to see Bobby Vinton perform live in 1979 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. What a talented artist!

I'm 18 years old. I love this song so much, it's so poignant. My favourite song I've discovered in July.

I remember as a teenager in the 70s, watching Bobby Vinton promoting records of songs of the 50s on TV commercials.
