After a brief spell in the US Army, Vinton was signed to Epic Records in 1960 as a bandleader: "A Young Man With a Big Band." Two albums and several singles were not successful however, and with Epic ready to pull the plug, Vinton found his first hit single literally sitting in a reject pile. The song was titled "Roses Are Red (My Love)." It spent four weeks at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Arguably, his most famous song is 1963's "Blue Velvet" that also went to No.1. 23 years later, David Lynch named his movie Blue Velvet after the song. In 1964, Vinton had two #1 hits, "There! I've Said It Again" and "Mr. Lonely", the latter now being the basis for Akon's hit "Lonely."
In the 1970s, the "Polish Prince" continued to hit the Top 40, notably with "Ev'ry Day of My Life" and "Sealed With a Kiss" in 1972. That same year, Epic Records decided to end its relationship with Vinton and ended his recording contract. Undeterred, Vinton spent $50,000 of his own money on a self-written song sung partially in Polish: "My Melody of Love." After Vinton was turned down by 7 major labels, ABC Records bought Vinton's idea, and the result was a multi-million selling single that hit #1 on the AC charts in 1974. A gold album, Melodies of Love, followed as well as a successful half-hour variety show "The Bobby Vinton Show" (which aired from 1975 to 1978). He also starred in two John Wayne movies: Big Jake and The Train Robbers.
In the course of his career, Vinton has sold over 75 million records (singles, albums, compilation inclusions, etc) and is still performing on tour and at the Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theatre in Branson, Missouri.

(Blue moon)
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then, there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now, I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own
And then, there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now, I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own
Blue moon

The song "Blue Moon" is a classic love ballad that explores the themes of loneliness and yearning for companionship. The singer begins by addressing the titular blue moon, a rare occurrence that signifies a moment of unique beauty, turning to this celestial entity as a confidant of sorts. The first verse sets the scene of the singer standing alone, with no dreams or love to call their own. This opening paints a picture of a hopeless romantic who is longing for a sense of purpose in life.
As the singer continues to address the blue moon, they reveal that the moon knows why they are standing there- it is because they are hoping to find someone who they can truly care for. It is through the moon's light that the singer makes their prayers and wishes for love. Suddenly, the singer sees someone in front of them, the only one they will ever hold. The person whispers to the singer, urging them to love them, and in that moment, the moon turns to gold. The last two verses repeat the earlier lyrics, highlighting that the blue moon has brought the singer the love they had been seeking, and they are no longer alone, finally able to have dreams and love in their heart.
Line by Line Meaning
Blue moon
A rare occurrence that comes unexpectedly
You saw me standing alone
My loneliness was apparent to you
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own
I was without hope and love in my life
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
You understood my need for companionship, and heard me wishing for someone to love
And then, there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
My wish came true when the person I had been hoping for appeared, and the moonlight made everything seem magical
Now, I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own
My loneliness and lack of hope and love have been replaced with the person I care for
Blue moon
A continued symbol of the rare and unexpected happiness the singer has found
Blue moon
A repetition of the symbol of happiness, indicating how important and significant this one moment is

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

ΚΑΤΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ ΕΑΥΤΟΥ
Oh yes!! One of the best renditions of Blue Moon in my opinion. I remember seeing An American Werewolf in London at the Drive-In back in 1981. It was a double feature with Halloween II. I was only 9 and both scared the living shit outta me!!
Windsong1a
Haaaa! Haaaaa! Still does...but in a fun way.
sesh wondo
You’re super lucky, that’s an incredible double feature
The Dog Father
In So Cal, they would do a triple feature at the drive in. I remember when I saw this, it played with "Blow Out" at the time. I was 11.

How did they let a 9 year old watch these movies?

Me too this song reminds of American werewolf in London ❤❤❤

Heard it for the first time when I was 17 at the cinema with my girlfriend. An American werewolf in London was the movie, and we were so in shock by it that our walk back home (3 miles in the country with full moon!! and no people or houses around) must have been a world record!! Finally coming home we went up to our room, blocked the door and cuddled up together ;-) Those were the days
