Bobby Vinton (b. 16 April 1935) is an American singer and actor who began as a teen idol, and later had much success on the nostalgia circuit.
On the Radio
From 1962 to 1972, Vinton had had more Billboard number 1 hits than any other male vocalist, including Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. -– Wikipedia
Bobby Vinton's brand of pop
Kept his records at the top
Of DJ playlists of his day,
Which was a puzzling thing since they
Could hear his talent and compare it
With singers of more lasting merit.
