Bobby Rydell "Volare"

[@georgettegestely6608]

I first heard Volare when I was a child, while sitting next to my father in his hospital room. My father looked out the window, smiled and flew to the stars with Bobby Rydell. I will be grateful to him forever for freeing my father’s heart and soul from that hospital bed.

[@robertlagettie4792]

Im from Australia and Bobby sang at the Glass House in Port Macquarie a few years ago. I didn't go to the show . My favourite Song he sang was the Cha Cha Cha. It's a shame he died.

[@garyn.9450]

Of all the early singers of this song, Bobby Rydell was the best!

[@rtrjmk5]

Agree. A professional musician who backed up many said the same thing

[@TralfazConstruction]

My late mother-in-law was a great admirer of Mr. Rydell and _this_ song. In memory, I can hear her singing along. I met Mr. Rydell at a dinner concert being performed by James Darren in May of 2014. He looked pretty much as he did here save for his hair being a light grey. He still was the matinee idol.

[@darthdennis6681]

Remembering Bobby Rydell born on April 26, 1942. He was an American singer and actor who mainly performed rock and roll and traditional pop music. In the early 1960s he was considered a teen idol. His most well-known songs include "Wildwood Days," "Wild One" and "Volare" (cover of an Italian song by Domenico Modugno); in 1963 he appeared in the musical film Bye Bye Birdie. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Rydell

[@maryanncampbell3422]

So true. Nobody sung Volare like Bobby. Rest in life, Bobby

[@jmrodas9]

Bobby Rydell was one of those singers I really liked to hear in those days. He had a good voice and a nice personality as far as I could appreciate as I never was near him. And I remember I liked very much his version of this Italian song.

[@satsang73]

Bobby made me so happy !!! He was my joy as a child, and still is. He has the best smile when he sings!

[@paulandersen9492]

I am guessing the girls liked him a lot. ;)

Came across this video. What a talent Bobby Rydell was and what a fantastic song. I was a little tyke and remember my mother singing and dancing to this song on the radio.

[@MrRockabilly70]

Bobby does the best version of this song. Only a little guy but he can sure belt out a song. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a few years ago. He put on a great show not only with his singing but sharing some of his stories from the past and telling jokes. His got a great sense of humor. I got his autograph and spoke to him briefly after the show. A really nice guy.

[@frankporto2646]

The best version is the original by the Italian singer who also wrote the song and won the Grammy award for it not this bubble gum version the best cover was by Dean Martin

[@MrRockabilly70]

@@frankporto2646 To each his own. I was referring to the English version of this song not the Italian version. Dean Martin did a great version but Bobby’s version for me is the best!

[@stevedallas4942]

Loved him.. sang him many a karaoke... Got to meet him two years before he passed... Heaven is going to have one swingin' band. God bless.

Not old enough to remember it live born in 1960 but definitely a mainstay growing up. Such simple times. How great.

I would be too.If it wasn't a TV show they'd be up ripping his clothes off.

[@dina113east]

Bobby Rydell was a huge talent. Not only was he a great singer, he could dance and act as we saw in the movie Bye Bye Birdie. Actually, I read that his dancing in Bye Bye Birdie was as good as the professional dancers in the dance scenes.

[@borntoolaterydell3537]

I was 7 months old when this was recorded. I`ve always thought I was born 15 years too late. Love the music from this era. What I wouldn`t give to have been in the studio audience for this recording. Hope you`re well Bobby. Love you. xxx

What is amazing about this arrangement is that you would never think the original -Nel Blu etc, could be equaled, understanding it could never be topped. Great job, whoever put this together in the studio. And Bobby was the perfect singer for this material.

[@davidbarnett9312]

It's the female back up group that makes this song and others he recorded great. Those of us who were teens back then don't know how good we had it. Watching Bandstand back in the day, it seems Dick Clark promoted Fabian, Bobby Rydell, and Frankie Avalon. They appeared often on the show, but then it was from Philly in those days, so, yeah, natural.

Tonithenightowl - I’ve been a fan of Bobby for years but just recently began rediscovering his music. I’ve been scouring KZbin for any videos of him and this is the best one I’ve found by far. Bobby just oozes charm, personality and sex appeal, looks great in that suit and his hair is perfect. 18 years old here... I know he’s lip syncing...but who cares!? ...I think I’ve developed a retro crush...

"The Dick Clark Beechnut Show" was originally done from ABC's Little Theatre on 44th St & Broadway (since renamed the Helen Hayes Theatre). For this episode, it was live from 7 W 66th St, which was ABC Television Center Studio 1. ABC's Gil Hodges (not to be confused with the similarly-named Dodgers 1B who later managed the 1969 champion Mets) was the show's announcer.

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.
