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.

Please love me forever
Don't forget me ever
Just listen to my plea
Please don't stop loving me (ah, ah, ah)
You're in my dreams nightly
Begging on bended knee (ah)
Please don't stop loving me (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Oh, when I lay me down to sleep (uh, uh)
I pray the Lord your love I'll keep (uh, uh)
If I should die before I wake
I'll come back for you (ah)
That's no mistake
Oh, I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be (ah)
Please don't stop loving me (ah, ah, ah)
I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be (ah)
Please don't stop loving me (ah, ah, ah)
Please don't stop loving me (ah, ah, ah)
The lyrics of Bobby Vinton's song "Please Love Me Forever" express an ardent plea for eternal love. The singer implores his beloved not to forget him and to keep loving him forever.

Such a promise shows the depth of his love and tells us that he is willing to go to great lengths to be with her.

The 60's and 70's music. Never to be forgotten and never to be repeated. Great songs.

Brings back memories of 7th grade back during the Winter of 1967/68. Being of Polish descent I could appreciate the talents of Bobby Vinton. This time period was full of good love ballads/music from many different artists. I miss it dearly!
