The Music of Bobby Vee

Bobby Vee got his "lucky break" after the infamous crash of the plane Buddy Holly was riding went down in an Iowa cornfield, killing all aboard.  Auditions were quickly held to find temporary replacements so the Winter Dance Party tour could go on.  That ill-fated opportunity eventually led to a recording contract for the Fargo, ND teenager.  Shortly, hit records began to come.  Take Good Care of My Baby, Run to Him, Sharing You, Rubber Ball, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Come Back When You Grow Up and many others made Bobby one of the biggest stars of his day.  Read all about his surprising rise to fame and his legendary music career in The Music of Bobby Vee.
