[SthrnCrossLady]

Wonderfullllllllll Way to Go Bobby!!!! xx Love you. :-)

[rickysbestgirl]

I saw him perform a few weeks ago and he sounds as good as ever.

[h2overit]

SOOO happy to see this tonight....love the man, the song and the era!! AWESOME...thanks SO much for posting!

[Nuerth]

He is the only true musician among the South Philly

crowd ~ not merely a vocalist ~ what memories

[Adoraa1]

Wonderful, wonderful

[bcrliebowitz]

Your vocals are better than ever. I'm afraid I would not be able to lift my leg like that without ending up in the hospital. LOL. Thanks for the memories.

[TeenIdol1950s]

He's a great singer one of my favorite songs too!

[robertmarc1]

2:19 video: 1960 #4 hit "Volare" [Nel blu dipinto di blu; In the blue, painted blue] by Bobby Rydell [born 26 April 1942].

[pamindoc]

Yes, he owns this one and many other hits from 1959-1964 and last I heard he

can still sing them better than ever. There are hundreds of great standards that

only Rydell can do in his own unique way. He loves the stage more than the re-

cording studio as I understand the situation. Yet, my view is and has been that

his lasting legacy is as a RECORDING ARTIST. The homerun for him and, even

more importantly, his many fans is to step up and record, even if on stage. No

guts, no glory.

[tipofelice]

Proof positive that Bobby swings as well as any of our American male swingin' singers. He sounds terrific on this performance. It's hard to imagine anyone doing this one better. He owns this one.

[ONENIGGER2ANOTHER]

Rydell swings still!

[DinWinchester100]

super!!!!!!!!!!!

[icelandknight]

Incredible how his voice hasn't CHANGED! Amazing! Great stuff.

[pamkayvan]

Sigh! Bobby you still make my heart skip a beat just like you did back in the 1960's. I had your photo on my bedroom wall back then.

[TheCahoonzie]

Bobby you dance and sing like you did when you were 25! Vinny - The Past tells.

[detinha46]

Que vozeirão, por onde anda Bobby Rydell? Está na ativa? Faz parte dos melhores dos anos 60!

[detinha46]

Que vozeirão, por onde anda Bobby Rydell?

[hawaiianstylin]

[liovalo]

He is the man :)

[kking3287]

Wow, the quality of his singing hasn't changed even through age. Lovely! ^_^

[abuiltmale]

I worked with Bobby back in the 70s and I'm guessing this has to be in the 80s. He was since put on weight, but still sound good at almost 70.

[alxndr01]

Bobby Rydell was the only one of the "teen idols" who had any real voice training. I recall seeing him back when I was 15 years old at Harry's Danceland in Latrobe, PA. He was good.

[radiator0]

brilliant, anyone what year this was?

[tpt1111]

@radiator0 This was done in July of 1985..

I was the lead trumpet player on the show.. We did a tour of about 70 cities that Summer and Fall..

It was a good time..

Bobby still sounds great..

[RainyCP50483]

my favorite song ever!

[TheJazzlady40]

i love ridarelli Bobby Rydell

[generuffalo]

I just played a gig with Bobby (guitar) in Spring Hill, FL and wil again on Valentines day in Jupiter, FL. He's still got it, voice & moves!

[MyTVcollection]

Lucky you!! I've been a fan of his since 1960 (his Volare days!)

[starr522]

Still got it

[ladydi0218]

WOW!!!!

[afhyatt]

Watching him just plain makes me feel good!

[afhyatt]

The man always has and still has it!!

Fantastic singer and entertainer!!!

[peaches6008]

fabulous singer today & yesterday

[DylanGirl63]

Bobby Rydell was the pride of all Italian-American kids in the early 60s! What a voice, what a delivery, what a doll! Enormously talented, I've no doubt he'd STILL have another hit record to add to his stellar collection of #1 hits if he released something these days!!! Love you, Bobby...thanks for making us proud! xoxox

[jeffjeff19]

Bobby has a great voice and I love this song

[pamindoc]

Enjoy reading all the praise for our beloved Philly superstar Bobby Rydell

who continues thrilling audiences to

this day. With all your help and kind

comments you may help me encourage

him back to the recording studio. The

result could be the biggest musical comeback in modern history.

[SuperBrianm]

@pamindoc You know, just watching this I thought this too. He should be out there singing to the public. I think his voice even sounds better than it did... more resonance... fuller..more maturity and virility, like a fine wine...truly! Bobby you most definitley still got it, only more!!

[pamindoc]

@SuperBrianm : Imagine a performance in front of a wonderful full orchestra

opening with YOU AND THE NIGHT AND THE MUSIC, plus SWAY, VOLARE,

FORGET HIM, BOBBY DARIN'S big hits, WALKING MY BABY BACK HOME, YOU'RE NOBODY TIL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU, SELECTED SINATRA SALOON SONGS, etc etc. Audiences numbering in the thousands heard it; those I surveyed think it was magnificent first class material. To me it raised the bar

to a whole new level;

[MrAjlombardo]

Robert Ridarelli - AKA Bobby Rydell. By far - the most talented of the Philly 50's/60's era. I have seen him - maybe 5 times in concert. The most recent in Vegas about a year ago. A true class act. If he would have started performing in the 40's, he would have been just as big as Frank Sinatra. Seriously!! Sounds the same in 2009 as he did in 1961!

[premierejan]

@MrAjlombardo I saw Bobby Rydell and Frankie Avalon in Vegas in 2007.

Bobby had a bad hip then, is he doing better?

[DollyMcD]

such memories!

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

Bobby still sounds great!!

[rickysbestgirl]

@VIDEOHEREBOB I agree!

[croninuscg]

Wow!!!!!

[phillydog17]

The first record I ever bought.

[paminddoc]

Unrealized potential. Full orchestra,

great songs and he's no longer a

past legend . Way underrated.

[owlydog]

wow it sure is nice to hear this once again thank you got posting this

[Palmer8480]

Excelente vídeo com Bobby Ryddel, que

me faz lembrar dos bons tempos.

[sherom]

I couldn't agree more Paminddoc !!

[finnhung]

Wow!!! This guy is amazing. And humor to boot.

[paminddoc]

If you all are so proud of him why don't you

go to his website and tell him how much you want to see him record again, so he

can hear you. Maybe he needs to hear it

from more people than me.

[wgp548]

makes you proud to be from philly

[phillydog17]

The pride of South Philly!

[lillypadsmom]

Bobby, loved you in the 60s and still do. Your voice is so classic. Fabulous!  Thanks for the memories.

[paminddoc]

Sinatra got his big break in the 1940's

as singer for Tommy Dorsey's band. Much

later his voice weakened and he relied on

style. Put Bobby in front of a great orchestra, singing the all time great songs, let him do his unique magic and

interpretation, and you might appreciate

his true greatness, that in his modesty he

himself may not recognize. I saw Sinatra

perform at age 65 and Bobby at age 66

many times. He ranks with the greats in

my book.

[RitaAnne]

I saw him live also this man can sing..

[bamboompow]

Sarebbe meglio in italiano.

[paminddoc]

Volare by Bobby Rydell released in 1960.

Charted at #4 on Billboard. This video

appears to be from the 1990's, but per-haps LUCKYMUSIC would be kind enough to clarify. This is Bobby's theme

song and this videoclip is proof of his

enduring talent and the pure joy he brings

to the music.

[tigeress08]

what yr was this released in?? x

[paminddoc]

Bobby once performed in A.C. in front of

a great orchestra singing a few of his own

hits, but also honored Bobby Darin, Frank

Sinatra, and Dean Martin and sang some of their stuff. The guy has got to be one of

the greatest living singers and certainly

one of the most underrated. 50 years and

still going strong. Today's so-called super-stars can't touch him...and he's a

really nice gentleman to boot.

[JDDrummer73]

I'd love to see someone post Cha Cha Cha, my favorite Bobby Rydell song believe it or not. I totally agree that he is very underrated. The lead player in my old band gigged with Bobby years ago, and said that Bobby was one of the most talented people he ever worked with.

[DrearSkaa]

When and where is this from? Great all round performer, entertainer and very talented too!

[CO1850]

He sings better than ever.

[miltsar]

He has it ! voice...interpretation...showm­anship. It was real surprise for me watching this and other youtube videos of his later career cause I had not seen anything he had done since Bye Bye Birdie....in which he was perfectly cast and he did well by the part. He should have been a bigger star .

[jazzlady40]

We love ya ridarelli

[dwtslvr]

Can't believe he still sounds terrfic. And he still looks terrific. Thanks for posting.

[bonnie2me]

I saw Bobby live, when he came out to Australia in 1981-2 and he was just the greatest..He isn't really trying here and is still great!

He is so underestimated as a singer and I find this man utterly SEXY!!!

[catheyeluvsmusic]

He's truly blessed-- handsome, gracious and with bountiful voice!! It is a joy to listen to him.

[Gileohi]

Ah, Bobby Rydell is one of the best

[paminddoc]

What can you say about a singer who can blow you away with Volare, melt the ladies hearts

with Forget Him, sing Bobby Darin's smash

hits to honor him, and croon Dean Martin and

Frank Sinatra songs as a world class vocalist.

One of the all time greats of the past and

PRESENT. Check out his website for show dates.

He's better than ever!!!!

[lebow1]

whoa a

[jimdep1]

Bobby is still great! I miss the backing

vocals from his original version of Volare,

(lost in the sound mix maybe) but this is a treat. Thanks for presenting this!
