To begin with, Bobby Vinton’s father Stan Vinton worked as the bandleader of a local dance orchestra. so taught his son playing clarinet and founded his own big band. With the income, he financed his musical studies, during which he learned to play many other instruments, and earned a degree in Musical Composition.

In 1960, Vinton received a recording contract for his orchestra for several recordings, but they were not very successful. Eventually, he tried solo recording and among others the albums “Roses Are Red” (1962) and “Mr. Lonely” (1964), both containing quiet, languishing love songs were successful, and songs of this style became Vinton’s trademark. His title single “Roses Are Red” was released as a single, and immediately reached top position on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also a top 20 hit in England and Germany, garnering a total of over $1 million.

Vinton released one hit song after another, including in 1963 the internationally known song “Blue Velvet”. Later, the director David Lynch used the song as a film title for his classic “Blue Velvet” (1986). In 1964, Vinton wrote two other hits that were rewarded with first place on the Billboard Hot 100 – “There! I’ve Said It Again” and “Mr. Lonely” (also sung in Italian), the latter resumed as the basis for the song “Lonely” by Akon.

In the beginning of the 1970s, Bobby Vinton appeared for a change as an actor and landed two supporting roles in John Wayne films “Big Jake” and “The Train Robbers”. In 1974, the singer recorded “My Melody of Love” in a special version in which he also sang in Polish. The song became a kind of anthem among Polish-born Americans. and was usually named “the Polish prince”. From 1975 to 1978, Vinton was very successful with a music variety program on television – “The Bobby Vinton Show”. He also owned the Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theatre, in Branson, Missouri, which in 2002 was bought by David King, creator and producer of “Spirit of the Dance”.
