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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you have to do is touch my hand
To show me you understand
And something happens to me
That's some kind of wonderful
Any time my little world is blue
I just have to look at you
And every thing seems to be some kind of wonderful
There's so much I wanna say
But the right words just don't come my way
I just know when I'm in your embrace
This world is a happy place
And something happens to me
That's some kind of wonderful
I know I can't express this feeling of tenderness
There's so much I wanna say
But the right words just don't come my way
I just know when I'm in your embrace
This world is a happy place
And something happens to me
That's some kind of wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Being with you is so amazing that I have to repeat it three times
All you have to do is touch my hand
Just a simple gesture from you is enough to make me feel loved
To show me you understand
Your touch lets me know that you get me
And something happens to me
My entire mood and outlook changes
That's some kind of wonderful
It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but it's really amazing
Any time my little world is blue
When I'm feeling down or sad
I just have to look at you
I can just glance at you and instantly feel better
And every thing seems to be some kind of wonderful
My problems seem smaller and everything seems happier
I know I can't express this feeling of tenderness
I have so much love for you, but I struggle to put it into words
There's so much I wanna say
I have an overwhelming desire to express my love to you
But the right words just don't come my way
Unfortunately, finding the right words is a challenge for me
I just know when I'm in your embrace
When I'm holding you close
This world is a happy place
The world feels like a better place
And something happens to me
My mood is lifted and I feel more alive
That's some kind of wonderful
It's hard to describe, but it's really amazing
