Bobby Fuller Four - Let Her Dance/Another Sad & Lonely Night

[@TheDejael]

I interviewed Bobby Fuller on my radio show in April 1966 on my first radio gig, at KLFM 105.5 FM in Long Beach, Calif. He is never to be forgotten. His music kept alive the Buddy Holly sound into the mid-1960s.

[@douglasthompson9482]

Wow....incredible. So very sad ending.

[@nicholasvinyl]

How was he in person?

[@TheDejael]

@@nicholasvinyl Very relaxed, sure of himself, and he reminded me of Rick Nelson. I never met Rick but I saw him in concert 3x. I saw Bobby Fuller Four in concert twice in 1965-66.

[@ippaxy]

Still got a recording of the interview laying around?

[@tessb579]

I danced at the Bobby Fuller's Teenage Rendezvous in El Paso TX before he left for California and mysteriously died at the hands of the Hollywood music industry. RIP Bobby Fuller 😢

[@robertbrooks7001]

A Cold Case that needs to get closure and get the killers!

[@TheDejael]

No, I don't believe it was anyone in the Hollywood music industry that did this horrible thing.

[@craigplatel813]

​@@robertbrooks7001it has been solved listed as an accident. He had an open empty gas van in his car. The autopsy lists absolutely no indication of any violence. People die from accidents, not realizing that what they are doing is dangerous. Gasoline vapors will kill you. But people don't realize it because they only smell them when outside pumping gas in the open. But get in your car with a gas can leaking vapors, that is a different story. He was an up and coming rock star. Why would they kill s potential cash vow. Because he was supposedly hanging around with mob girls. What a bunch of BS.

[@keithfrazier7826]

Whenever I listen to their music, I can't help but feel that Bobby Fuller was perhaps the most direct descendant ever of the Buddy Holly sound. The similarities between them are truly eerie, as both had an incredible knack for making heartbreakingly beautiful and unforgettable love songs, and both died horrible deaths at the beginning of what were sure to be long and prolific careers.

[@johnager9428]

Like Buddy Holly Bobby is still a big star after his sad death, listen to him all the time and shivaree looked a great pop show...... Manchester UK 🇬🇧❤️

[@StellarFella]

The Buddy Holly death was a tragedy. The death of Bobby Fuller was a MURDER.

[@TheDejael]

Agreed. There was Buddy Holly's friend Ray Ruff, who did some soundalike songs in the Buddy Holly sound style from 1959 to 1963, and the British Rock group The Hullabaloos in 1964. And Tommy Roe, whose song "Sheila" was inspired by Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue".

[@suzannelawson9215]

It saddens me to this day when I read the investigative reports of Bobby Fuller's untimely death and the horrific pain he must have endured during the last hour or hours of his death. My gosh, he was so extremely talented and he would have gone on to further his musical career if he had lived. Amazes me the depths of his talent. I kind of have to shake my head in a no fashion ( in disbelief), to think how his world came to an abrupt end and the end for the Bobby Fuller Four. I was a very young teenage girl when he died and lived with my parent's near the Hollywood area and lived only about 2 1/2 miles away from where Bobby and Randy lived with their mother in a Hollywood apt. on Sycamorre Ave. I knew that whole area of Hollywood.

Along with Buddy Holly, Bobby Fuller was one of the greatest talents to emerge during the early 60's. Who can imagine what they might have achieved but for their untimely deaths.

[@Scotseasy]

David M It's a pity the Bobby Fuller Four did not seize the opportunity to tour Britain, the way Buddy Holly and The Crickets did early in 1958. Then Bobby might have not got murdered, and the popularity of the Bobby Fuller Four would have rocketed in the UK.

Fabulous Mr Fox

[@softclay4thought]

I must confess to have never heard these two songs. I am 60 and keep playing them back over and over. These two songs capture the energetic innocence of that time. And they represent the highest level of skillful composition for that genre. Bobby Fuller and Buddy Holly were the West Texas equivalent of Lennon and McCartney. If they had ended up in the same group they would have fed off of each other's energy and recorded some phenomenal songs. George Harrison heard Fuller and was impressed.

[@rexburgess9625]

Man I feel so lucky to have had youth in the 50's and 60's It was a great time to be young. Another bright star taken too soon in that era He had a great future ahead of him

[@philipjenneson6812]

We can only speculate on what might have been. Bobby Fuller had undoubted talent and although his life and his contribution to music was cut so tragically short he did leave behind a rich collection of his music which will live on. Rest easy Bobby..

Every era has it's share of negative things going on. American society at that time was in the midst of major change, and that is never easy. But the music of The Bobby Fuller Four, as shown in this video, was the embodiment of pure joy...as was so much of the music of the 60's. That era's music possessed a certain magic that is nowhere to be found today. It's tough to try and make someone in their teens or twenties understand how big and wonderful it was. It was a special time.

I was 12, and I remember it the same way. My brother had an album by Bobby Fuller Four called "KLRA, King of the Wheels" with the band around a top fuel dragster, with Bobby Fuller in the driver's seat at Lions Drag Strip. Those days were so innocent and it wasn't just my age. The Chinese have a saying, "May you live in interesting times." The 60's were incredible.

[@joehill9671]

I Loved this man's music,and still do,to this very day! and while his murder still remains a cold case to be solved, Bobby Fuller was the best! "Another Sad and Lonely Night" is one of my top favorites,along with "True Love",and "I Fought The Law"-all of Mustang Records finest juke box tunes back in the mid 1960s!

[@StellarFella]

It was a murder. Organized crime money was behind him and he was wanting to go on his own with another record label. They weren't going to let that happen.

[@barbstevenson9833]

Happy Birthday in heaven, Bobby Fuller, born on this day in 1942.

One of rock's GREATEST losses was losing Bobby the day before my 13th birthday in 1966! Yes, just imagine the impact he would have had on the music scene in the 1960's and beyond if he would have lived. "Let Her Dance" never gets played today on the AM oldies radio stations and that is a pity. All you hear is "I Fought The Law". And the group's first album was filled with lots of other great songs like "Another Sad and Lonely Night" and "Take My Word". This is REAL rock that never dies!!!!

[@kmsscs]

Was Stationed at Biggs AFB, El Paso, Tx, Bobby Fuller's Hometown. 1964/65 and was able to see him in a local "battle of the Bands". Actually had "Let Her Dance" on a 45 I bought in early 1965 long before it was out Nationally.

[@Scotseasy]

Great Rock and Roll Music, from the superb Bobby Fuller Four. It's such a puzzle that they did not take the world by storm, with records like "Let Her Dance" and "I Fought The Law". There are also some tremendous tracks by them on the Bobby Fuller Four Memorial album, which should have been released before he was murdered. If they had been, and the group had been successful with them, who knows, fate might have dealt him a different hand, and the band too.

Yes it was great but should have been in color. The networks switched to color in the fall of 1966 so shows made before that time were mostly black & white, unfortunately.

[@johndigianni9354]

It's a kick to know that 3 quintessential ABC-TV '60s teen music shows were taped on a stage adjacent to The Lawrence Welk Show. Welk's old school orchestral sounds next to the raw garage rock & pop sounds of early to mid '60s. Venue was ABC Televison Center on Prospect Avenue in East Hollywood.

What is so tragic about Bobby Fuller's death is that almost 50 years later, we still do not know for sure who was behind his killing and this will probably remain a mystery. Gosh, just think of the music that he would have made if he would have lived. What a BIG loss for rock and roll!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! WOW! I don't know how I missed "Let Her Dance" as a serious rocker and 13 at the time of this song - and DIDN'T HEAR IT UNTIL I WAS 62... but what a great, GREAT recording and what an absolutely INCREDIBLE video.. Sheer bliss! This is one of those moments when the planets lined up perfectly... where a great single, hot guitar riff, hot band, hot audience, perfect camerawork and AMAZING dancers all slid into a groove and COOKED. One of the stellar, classic go-go dance performances of all time, When during the break in the middle of the song the girls lock in one after another... wow, just thrilling. Not to mention that little gift later from the blonde dancer on the right. Watch for it. (People's heads must have exploded - mine would have - hell it almost does watching now!) Has to be one of the coolest, hard driving rock singles of the era. Whatever pathetic losers killed Bobby Fuller obviously robbed us of some fantastic rock and roll. and what a great band he had behind him! Fuller was no one hit wonder... he would have delivered a lot more than he was given a chance to. But just on the strength of "Let Her Dance" and the other hits I'd say put him in the Hall of Fame. Help! I can't stop watching this video!

[@barbstevenson9833]

These girls danced on all the major shows of the time like SHINDIG and HULLABALOO. And they danced at discotheques too. This is a story in itself and should be made into a movie. And these girls should be interviewed for a good storyline and used as consultants throughout the movie. Parallel threads of the girls bouncing back and forth from show to show and the different bands that came and went would be nice to develop as a story. There is a good movie and/or a good book in all of this!

Great guitar work. Way ahead of his time.

Bobby Fuller only had one minor hit in Britain, with "I Fought The Law". I think that "Let Her Dance" was absolutely brilliant, and should have been a huge success both sides of the pond. Two other points on this: First, I completely agree with you about Bobby Fuller's fate. I certainly don't think he topped himself. Secondly, the dancer who flashed her knickers did it at least another time.
