Bobby Vinton

Właśc. Stanley Robert Vinton, ur. 16.04.1935 r. w Canonsburg w Pensylwanii, USA. Szczycący się polskim pochodzeniem wokalista stał się jednym z najpopularniejszych idoli pop początku lat 60-tych. Swoją karierę rozpoczął jako trębacz, by niebawem stanąć na czele szkolnego zespołu w roli wokalisty. Taśma z rejestracją jednego z jego występów trafiła do wytwórni Epic Records, która w 1960 r. podpisała z nim kontrakt. Piosenka „Roses Are Red", autorstwa Ala Byrona i Paula Evansa, stała się pierwszym wielkim przebojem Vintona w USA, jednak w Wielkiej Brytanii odniosła znacznie większy sukces, docierając w wykonaniu Ronniego Carrolla do Top 10.

 Pomimo mocno nagłośnionego w prasie przybycia do Londynu, gdzie miał wystąpić w epizodycznej roli w filmie „Just For Fun", drugi amerykański przebój numer l Vintona, „Blue Velvet", został początkowo zignorowany na Wyspach. Jednak kolejny przebój rodem ze Stanów, odkurzona wersja piosenki Vaughana Monroe „There I've Said It Again", trafił w 1963 r. na 34. miejsce angielskiej listy przebojów. Vinton występował w klubach do 1968 r., kiedy to jego wersje piosenek z repertuaru dawnych rywali: „I Love How You Love Me" Jimmy'ego Crawforda, „Take Good Of My Baby" Bobby'cgo Vee i „To Know Her Is To Love Her" Teddy Bears zaprowadziły go prosto do „gorącej setki". Podobna formuła sprawdziła się w przypadku nagranego w 1972 r. utworu z repertuaru Briana Hylanda, „Sealed With A Kiss"

Na szczyty list przebojów powrócił wraz z międzynarodowym hitem „My Melody Of Love", którego był współautorem. Na ścieżce dźwiękowej do filmu „An American Werewolf In London" (7. 1981 r.) pojawiła się jego wersja piosenki „Blue Moon", jednak dopiero włączenie utworu „Blue Velvet" do pochodzącego z 1989 r. filmu pod tym samym tytułem i reklamy telewizyjnej kremu Nivea zapewniło mu w 1991 r. ogromny sukces w Wielkiej Brytanii. 

Pragmatyczny Vinton pojawiał się dosłownie wszędzie, dopóki piosenka nie spadła z listy, a wydanie na singlu utworu „Roses Are Red" nie zakończyło się bolesnym niepowodzeniem. W 1992 r. Vinton zaśpiewał w duecie z 96-letnim aktorem komediowym Georgem Burnsem na jego płycie As Time Goes By, a rok później otworzył w Branson w stanie Missouri własny teatr o nazwie The Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theater.
