"Sway" (Cameo 182) was the ninth of Bobby Rydell's 33 hits between 1959 and 1965. It debuted the week of November 7, 1960 and peaked at #14 over an eleven week run. And, as other people have noted, Bobby absolutely NAILS this song, creating THE definitive recording. Considering that nearly all TV in 1960 was in black and white, the existence of this color short is truly remarkable. One hopes, though, that a higher quality, less blurry print exists somewhere.
Buble may get the hits, but his voice can't touch Rydell's. PCDs do a sexy version that I adore, but Rydell still kills it. May not have the coreography of the others; Rydell's version is time tested.
well very interesting, sorry, but didn't see the smile. man's not gay. the dancers were a sad bit to watch though. better than buble? not. very good though.
When the dancers look at Bobby near the end of the vid. I do believe the guy dancer actually smiles more at Bobby then at the young lady dancer! Definitely gay.
Echkt! Buble sucks arses compared to the real crooners like Bobby Rydell, Bobby Darin, Sinatra, Dino, Fabian, and even Harry Connick Jr and Rufus Wainwright!
but Bobby Rydell is the king! It so reminds me of my Mom blasting these songs in the 70's and watching "Bye Bye Birdie" :-)
I think this is the very best version of this song.I taped it years ago,but I have no idea where it is now.Good thing I can hear it on You Tube. Thanks.
first time i heard this was on a tape i found, it didn't play very well,but i kept on playing it anyway. i could just about manage to see his name on the tape & always remembered it.
years later the internet was born & hey presto, sway is now on my mp3....love this song
What a voice!

Bobby Rydell is the ONLY singer who can sing this song....no one else. He's always been my favorite singer in the 60's.

Strategy, strategy, strategy......A briiliant musician close to this situation thinks
re-recording this with some Spanish violins might be one way for Rydell to
score today. A reinterpretation of a classic. I value good ideas.

Bobby is fundamentally a world class singer who shunned the glitter of Holly-wood and stayed local in Philly. His voice,
style, and orginality surpass Buble then
and today. Buble has got great backers
and is a fine singer with a great orchestra. I've seen them both recently live and com-
pared.

Bobby Darin and Bobby Rydell were a total class act!

Bobby is an original. Voice quality is
extraordinary. Buble is a fine singer, but
only in his dreams can he match B.R.....

@KyuuChan16 I couldn't agree more. This is actually the first time I ever heard him sing this. But what's with the girl behind him--is that a cape?

Fabian admitted he couldn't sing. In one interview back in the 1950s he said he didn't understand his popularity.

Better than Buble and arguably even Dino.
A unique talent then and now.

I thought the dancers were totally unnecessary. Bobby is so suave on his own.
