[@LPJack02]

RIP and long live Bobby Rydell (April 26, 1942 - April 5, 2022), aged 79 You will always be remembered as a legend.

[@hearty7]

Oh my goodness! I did not know that he was gone. Thank you for the info. His version of this song kept coming to my mind, so I decided to take the time to look for it so I could listen to it. It sounds - and feels - as fresh & beautiful now, as it did when I heard it in the 60s. Blessings to you.💖

[@williamtatum2147]

Yet another excellent recommendation Mr. Lynch!

[@heinzvonwolken6221]

Thanks for your songs. Rest in the Peace of God, Bobby.

[@janicemurphy7878]

They still play his songs at an Italian market where we shop it really brings you back to the 60s

[@John1948TwoB1a]

That's what I love about all my oldies. They always take me back.

I loved him as a young girl and yes wow - always memories of the 60s whenever I hear him

[@stevedallas4942]

His songs aren't in Italian???

I was 8yrs old at the time this song came out, I have loved it ever since. So Long Bobby from one Philly boy to another...Thanks for the music... Rest In Peace, April 26, 1942 - April 5, 2022

My favorite song by Bobby Rydell. His version was more up-tempo geared toward teenagers, then the versions by Dean Martin and Domenico Modugno. RIP April 5, 2022.

[@billm5555]

As a little kid, I was obsessed with this song. I played it over and over. I guess that I still do lol.

[@wife97]

Remember hearing this great song when it came out. it was a big hit, sung in Italian by Domenico Modugno. Bobby Rydell's version also has lots of energy. Perry Como had his little joke about making Bobby an honorary Italian: Rydell was Italian American, born Robert Ridarelli. He just died today, April 5, 2022; may he rest in peace.

Bobby's backup singers were on most of his big hits and highly under rated

[@UberAnalog]

The Ya Ya girls were sooooooo good.

[@arthurharrison1345]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think his backup was Dee Dee Sharp, Willa Ward Moultrie, Vivian Jackson, and Mary Wiley. This is according to an interview with Dee Dee Sharp.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

underrated? they were backup singers, they're supposed to be underrated - that's their job

[@jv-ep2tc]

I know Darin is held in highest regard by singers but I really have to give my vote to Rydell for the incredible tone of his voice and his presentation which is also so winning. You kinda knew Darin was "trouble" but Rydell made you feel great.

[@brandonmartin1707]

[@ninainfante611]

I was born in 1962 and fell in love with this song at age 13.

[@charleseverett7976]

Man! Those Italian-heritage boys could sure sing and swing. We are fortunate in the US of A to have so many fine bambinos and bambinas of Italian ancestry. Our great melting pot has always been our greatest strength and joy. I cannot agree with anyone who says differently.

[@Serenadesong]

Calihartley - You DO realize that back then Italians were not considered "white" the way that they are now don't you? There was prejudice there as well, just as there is now with Muslims. So let's stop pretending shall we.

[@MrSoulSimon]

Didn't know he had passed on. I'm almost 77 and as a teen he was my favorite singer, and this song was great. RIP Bobby, you were a talent.

[@davidbarnett9312]

What I liked about Bobby Rydell songs were the female back up vocalists. This song is still fabulous.

[@stephensafka8595]

Great memories

[@derekcoleman9305]

David, you took the words right out of my mouth. His backing group of girls were what made his songs so memorable. A shame we never got to see them, or have I just missed the recording they were shown ?

[@AlanD96]

@@derekcoleman9305 From what I understand, one of the reason you never saw them is because one or more of them were grandmothers!! They DID sound just like teenagers though. Especially with songs like "Swingin' School"

Too right. Those Italianos could sing. But where are they now?? Loved them all. The romance has truly gone out of the tunes now. Sad. So sad. Moi, j'ai souviens les jours toujours romantique.

[@cjsalazar51]

Bobby Rydall, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Brain Hyland, Jimmy Tillotson, Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton and other still great and have seen them all within the last 15 yrs. Most singers now go for the pizzazz and not from the heart. I'm a big Steve Perry fan and listening to a singing coach talk about the ways he opens his month, moves his jaw to make the sound come out right. He said he is one of the best singers (for you who are not fans yes he's still around and put out a new album in the beginning of this year called Traces) the sings 50s and 60s cared about the quality and sound of their voice.

[@fob1xxl]

Love this guy ! Such a talent ! Way ahead of all the others back then. In 1960, when I was 15, he gave me so much inspiration in my career. PS ....I wound up singing this song on a "Danny Thomas Special" in 1965. Danny Thomas himself picked the song out of my repertoire to do on his show. Thank you Bobby for all the inspiration you gave me. Update: on April 5, 2022 , a day before my Birthday, we lost Bobby. My heart is broken. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. RIP Pisanne. Ciao for now.

[@TralfazConstruction]

My wife and I had the privilege of meeting and speaking to Mr. Bobby Rydell where he was attending an evening dinner concert given by James Darren. Bobby had recently come through and triumphed over a health issue and he looked wonderful and shone as the stars he sings of in Volare. What a gracious human being he is. While my wife was able to converse with Mr. Rydell I was reduced to a gushing fan. Thank you, Bobby Rydell!

[@TralfazConstruction]

Thank you. The situation and the circumstances were unique. Bobby Rydell was receiving friends, admirers and well-wishers alike during the salad course of his dinner; with a smile no less. Ever since that dinner, now over two years ago, I focus on Bobby Rydell's performance as "Hugo Fink" every time I watch Bye Bye Birdie (probably a half-dozen times now).

R.I.P Bobby.. my Dad Artie Singer & Uncle Harold were prominent Vocal Coaches in Philly. Anybody out of Philly took lessons from them.. including Al Martino, James Darren, Frankie Avalon, Chubby Checker, Solomon Burke, etc. I asked him who was the most talented.. he said without hesitation Bobby.. his parents took him into Dad's studio when he was around 8.. he told them he was a natural.. that there wasn't much he could show him.. but to bring him back when his voice changed. (around 13). The rest is history.

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

Rest In Peace, Bobby.

He is a very good singer. I remember the song , forget him, from the sixties. I think he may have had slightly bad timing with the music changing in 1963. The upload is great and shows his massive talent at its best.

On this day in 2012 {July 18th} Bobby Rydell was released from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia one week after undergoing a 20-hour kidney and liver transplant operation... Exactly fifty-two years earlier on July 18th, 1960 his covered version of "Volare" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #60; seven weeks later on September 5th it would peak at #4 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the Top 100 for 15 weeks... It reached #9 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... Between 1959 and 1965 he had twenty-eight Top 100 records; six made the Top 10 with his biggest hit being "Wild One", it peaked at #2* for 1 week in 1960... He just missed having eight Top 10 records when both "Kissin' Time" in 1960 and "Good Time Baby" in 1961 peaked at #11... Mr. Rydell, born Robert Louis Ridarelli, celebrated his 73rd birthday three months ago on April 26th {2015}... * The week that "Wild One" was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "The Theme from A Summer Place" by Percy Faith and His Orchestra...

[@frankkolton1780]

But then you would be old now. I know what you mean though, there was so much talent, but style, music, and the music industry have changed so much. It's a shame that my kids, grand kids, or any of the younger generations can't experience those times, it was a very different place with different attitudes and a very strong sense of a better tomorrow for us and our children. Unfortunately we have left this generation and the ones that follow a very big mess. I truly hope they can find the solutions.
