We remember Robert Thomas Velline who was born in Fargo, South Dakota on this day in 1943.
We known him as Bobby Vee, one of the most popular pop vocalists of the early 1960's.
He put 30 songs in the Billboard Top 100 including several in the Top 10: “Take Good Care of My Baby” # 1, “Devil or Angel” “Rubber Ball” “More Than I Can Say”, “Run to Him”, “The Night Has a Thousand eyes”, and “Come Back When You Grow Up”.
As I understand, he was one of the first artists to use what we now call a video to promote a song.
Bobby Vee died in 2016.
