Bobby Rydell was the Justin Beiber of the early '60s. Following his debut 1959 hit "Kissin' Time," Bobby sold over 25,000,000 records with recordings like "Volare," "Forget Him," "Wildwood Days," "Sway," and "Wild One." But he was no one trick pony. His acting and comedic skills made him a fixture on dozens of TV variety shows (Red Skelton, Danny Thomas, Jack Benny, Perry Como, Ed Sullivan, etc.) and landed him the co-starring role with Ann-Margret in the smash film version of the Broadway musical, Bye Bye Birdie. At the age of 74, Bobby continues to perform around the world as a solo act and with Frankie Avalon and Fabian in the Golden Boys.
