Bobby Rydell "Kissin' Time"

[@SpeegBJ]

Absolutely stole me away in 1959. His natural confidence on stage was palpable and wonderful to watch then and now. Back then, I was 11 and he brought a love of life and music to us all. I followed him throughout his career. A huge loss with his passing.

Bobby Rydell will be greatly missed by anyone who grew up with his music and he would've been 80 years old this year but unfortunately he didn't make it up to 80 this year and RIP Bobby Rydell 1942-2022

[@zestaquick40]

Love Bobby! A natural entertainer, no phoniness about him. Today's singers should take note. 🎵🎶🎤

[@ronlheureux7623]

I remember watching this episode of AB and excitedly enjoying one of my favorite songs of that time. Man, am I old! Not a question, just an observation.

[@jimmyriddles]

I love this and may I say here, I loved Bobby's rendition of Sway, it was the best and reminds me of so long ago when I was a toddler and the years up from that. My mum and dad bought the single and played it non stop.... I adore Bobby

[@jeanlewis3214]

Great voice and a special man.RIP.❤️

[@fob1xxl]

[@gavinmorrison5413]

RIP Bobby Rydell (April 26th, 1942 - April 5th, 2022)

[@sharonsultancutler1466]

So glad that Bobby Rydell wrote the Introduction for our American Bandstand tribute book, Bandstand Diaries: The Philadelphia Years 1956 to 1963. I loved Bobby when I was 10, and still do, 60 years later.

[@Barnstormer1969]

Rest in peace, Bobby Rydell.

[@garypmarquis]

Gotta love these flicks. No rap, hip hop, foreign junks ass crap. Just good old USA rock and roll. Being a "boomer," I remember these tunes. Therefore, I must say, "please carry on these songs, 'cause nobody else cares to!"

[@mosheparanov]

what's "foreign junks ass crap"?

[@TheLarryburns84]

the British Invasion was only a few years after this. foreign "junks ass crap" is nothing new- ha!

[@dean790]

That's actually excellent rock-n-roll!

[@mkelisd]

Loved him then, love him now!!! One of a kind.

[@martindewilde9478]

in 1959 a number 8 hit in Vlaanderen (Belgium)... nice song... nice performance... great artist.....

[@Kinseydsp]

AWESOME VOICE! RIP BOBBY!

[@perdizes1954]

Meu querido ídolo. Você fez parte de minha juventude. Embalou meus sonhos com suas lindas canções. Meu pai nasceu dia 27/04, e faleceu antes de completar aniversário no mesmo mês 04/04 e você faleceu dia 05/04 e faria aniversário dia 26/04. Descanse em paz, e obrigada pelas suas lindas canções. Sempre será lembrado por aqueles que vivenciaram essa época.

[@VILJL]

Bobby Rydell, the epitome of the early ‘60s “teen idol,” who parlayed that fame into a starring role opposite Ann-Margret in the 1963 film “Bye Bye Birdie,” died Tuesday April 5, 2022 at age 79. The cause of death was pneumonia. His death just days away from his 80th birthday (April 26, 2022) was confirmed by radio legend Jerry Blavat, Rydell’s longtime friend from the singer’s South Philadelphia stomping grounds. Bobby Rydell had 34 singles chart on the Billboard Hot 100, the most well-remembered of which include “Wild One,” which reached No. 2, and “Volare,” a No. 4 hit. Other top 10 songs included “Swingin’ School,” “The Cha-Cha-Cha.” His run of top 10 songs began with “We Got Love,” which reached No. 6 in 1959, and ended with “Forget Him” in 1964.

[@JackTheSkunk]

I can't imagine anyone but Bobby Rydell singing this gem of a song.

[@Nolic_Galaxy]

Kiss did it

[@abydennis651]

LOVED HIS ENGERY ...MY FAVORITE !!❤️

[@lenscaparro5209]

A great singer & performer!

[@drlucio]

Fantastic video. Thanks.

[@carloshpeixe9359]

And the band "Kiss" recorded on the band's first debut album ... Super cool!

[@joymcdonald8240]

Bobbt was my pin up boy. What a joy to see him live

[@emilydanielson4794]

He’s so adorable 🥰🥰

[@ChrisScian]

First heard this song by KISS on their first album when I was a kid. Interesting hearing the original version now.

[@countvond233]

KISS always did the best covers. They still do this one.

[@ruthiekumar8770]

KISS! really?

[@erikrupp692]

@@ruthiekumar8770 - Really. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCvl6isZtSsgpY It's a little different, more Hard Rock, but still a similar vibe.

RIP Bobby Rydell. Just died today. :(

Oh my goodness this is so so cool 😎

[@rockindaddy6535]

🎵 FANTASTIC 🎤

[@kalinakimble5660]

My sister saw Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, Fabian and one other singer from that period a few years ago at one of the casino showrooms in Palm Desert, CA. She said they all looked great, sounded great.

[@skylinersvideo5793]

The stairs to the left of Bobby as he enters look like the same ones the Skyliners came down as they sang "It Happenned Today" which is also available on KZbin

Bobby ryedell 4-..ever

[@loganarencibia1696]

I wish i was in 1959 and the 60's

[@raygentry9543]

This is what the good old times means

[@janettechambers7168]

LUV IT

[@hal8383]

Rydell was my favorite singer, but I thought Fabian was just the absolute end. Strange though, the guy in school that I had a crush on looked just like Rydell, even wearing his hair the same and it was the same color. There seems to be no accounting for the strange fates of unreason! Much later I did get to a concert featuring the "Golden Boys." You know, Bobby, Frankie AND Fabian.

[@jeremylefevre2451]

He look so happy ☺️

[@bt22445]

He’s so cuteeeee

[@gordbrant2972]

KISS does a half decent version of that tune

[@nanjemoyal-kursi3078]

The 4 string BASS in this song just FU"\®Kd Me up when I was 17 years old. I still listen to the song till this day, with ONE foot on ice and the other foot two inches by my grave. COVER ME UP

What is this , Grease? (Rydell high)

[@dean790]

Don't forget, Kiss covered this song on their debut album.

[@cheryldaniels5467]

What sex appeal and charisma !

[@VilmaAlvarez-k7m]

I wish to dance

[@邱偉立]

enjoy

[@wxsuperman38]

I think KISS did a pretty good cover of this song...a bit heavier

[@sandrashinaglia3628]

Parece um boneco com linhas 🤔🤭

[@ruthiekumar8770]

They're kissin' in Boston...

[@stringalongmike1953]

And in Baltimore too!

[@brentjannereth3599]

I like the Kiss version better

[@hermanator74301]

Well, that makes you about at fruit. Now doesn't it?

[@Barbarella70]

Bobby Rydell is a 50's version of Sean Mendez very similar looks

[@hermanator74301]

This was 1960...he was 18.

[@ellybevaart6508]

Ik wou dat mijn benen nog zo los zaten

[@brendad3570]

17 years old here.

[@JonathanMcKey]

13 Here.

[@araneamaximus221]

Wondering if that was Brylcreem or Wildroot?

[@moemcgovern7345]

I heard a couple of Men from Britain, insult Bobby Rydell. I was very annoyed.

[@SamanthaTanner-r5x]

Yeah, KISS sang this only just realised that was a cover

[@mikecurtis11]

Even by 1959 this is pretty milquetoast, compare with Link Wray 1958 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boe3gGx9bd6VmLc, I first heard this song as a cover on Kiss' 1974 debut album. Their cover is pretty faithful to the original, but with enough power to make clear "kissin" was just a euphemism for... something else.

[@TheLarryburns84]

Kiss tweaked a couple of the lyrical phrases too.. made it less hokey (that wasn't a dig at 50s rock. I love fats domino, buddy holly, etc)

[@yiseng4602]

The girl with the pony tail.She must now be in her mid seventies.

[@reeree9742]

Is he still married?

[@brendad3570]

His first wife passed away several years ago-- his HS sweetheart . He later remarried and I'm not sure but I an thinking she was the president of his fan club

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Update: He passed away in April of 2022. RIP

[@paulauerbach2874]

“Don’t make me fight the Battle of New Orleans Tonight. “. Clever lyrics, but a bit too rape-ee for today’s market

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

Man those kids liked their gum……some look like they stuck the whole pack in their mouths 👄

[@WedgePee]

Because this was a TV show sponsored by the gum manufacturer.

[@hi-ccowboy7983]

Good old white kids clapping on the downbeat.

[@djchiesa3567]

class act unlike mediocre frank sinatra who was really not that good, required the mob to force entrance into music and movie industry.

[@kromedome0101]

Audience clapping off-time as usual.

[@hermanator74301]

Why do you say that? Are you an a**hole?

[@DS-hs3qp]

Curious about the original, but like Kiss's version much better.

[@hermanator74301]

What a dud you are.
