We went to see Bobby Vinton and it was quite a show! After a two-year hitch in the U.S. Army<\/a>,where he served as a chaplain’s assistant, Vinton was signed to Epic Records<\/a> 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<\/a> literally sitting in a reject pile. The song was titled “Roses Are Red (My Love)<\/a>.” It spent four weeks at No.1<\/a> on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. Arguably, his most famous song is 1963’s “Blue Velvet<\/a>“, originally a minor hit for Tony Bennett<\/a> in 1951, that also went to No.1<\/a>. Twenty-three years later, David Lynch<\/a> named his movie Blue Velvet<\/a><\/em> after the song. In 1990, “Blue Velvet” climbed to the top of the music charts in Great Britain, after being featured in a Nivea Skin Cream commercial. In 1964, Vinton had two #1 hits, “There! I’ve Said It Again<\/a>” (a #1 hit in 1945 for Vaughn Monroe<\/a>) and “Mr. Lonely<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
