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.

Merci pour ce partage
Superbe balade comme je les aime
Bobby Vinton a vraiment une voix délicate et délicieuse
Quelle beauté de l'entendre
Je le trouve fantastique interprétant cette chanson
Ce chanteur americain d'origine polonaise est vraiment magnifique
@Germilla
Pourquoi reparler de son origine cela ne conserne en rien cette voix exceptionnelle
@isabellelevy-banchereau3271
@@Germilla vous avez raison mais c'est juste parfois pour comprendre la sensibilité des personnes
Le fait qu'il ait des origines européennes est je pense apprécié j'ai pu le voir dans certains commentaires
J'indique souvent les origines mais cela n'a évidemment aucun impact sur une voix
@Germilla
Il avait la beauté le sourire craquant et une voix magnifique
@magicknight13
One of my favorite songs of all time!! What a fantastic voice he had!
@patrickryan1515
And all those instruments he mastered. Truly a man made for music. 10/2019
