 Bobby Vinton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After a brief spell in the US Army, Bobby was signed to Epic records in 1960 as a bandleader: "A Young Man With a Big Band." Two albums and several singles were not successful however, and with Epic ready to pull the plug, Vinton found his first hit single literally sitting in a reject pile.
Undeterred, Vinton spent $50,000 of his own money on a self-written song sung partially in Polish, "My Melody of Love." After Vinton was turned down by 7 major labels, ABC Records bought Vinton's idea, and the result was a multi-million selling single that hit number 1 on the AC charts in 1974.
In the course of his career, Vinton has sold over 75 million records (singles, albums, compilation inclusions, etc) and is still performing on tour and at the Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theatre in Branson, Missouri.

 Bobby Vinton : Please Love Me Forever - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Bobby Vinton struggled on the pop charts, scoring only minor hits for the most part in the mid-'60s, before he finally returned to the Top Five for the first time in three years with "Please Love Me Forever" in late 1967.
The performances were typical of Vinton, his boyish tenor floating above lightly rocking arrangements complete with genteel choruses.
He showed a particular affinity for the country songs associated with Eddy Arnold, "Bouquet of Roses," and "After Loving You," but as usual his light, ingratiating manner, applied in the same way to every song, was pleasant without ever becoming really involving.
