US pop idol Bobby Vinton achieved his second US album chart success with Blue Velvet, boosted by the US chart topping title track and the US No. 3 Blue On Blue. The single Blue Velvet made no impression on the UK singles chart at the time, but reached No. 2 in 1990. All the songs on the album include the world blue. (US:10)
"Bobby Vinton made quite a career out of a very limited vocabulary of song titles, and worked within a fairly narrow prism of subjects and styles."
"Bobby sang with such passion that you were instinctively drawn in to listen to him sing; and he always gave his adoring audiences nothing short of his very best."
"Blue Velvet sounds as fresh and new today as it did the first time I ever heard it. The percussion and the chorus are great; but its Bobby who carries this song."
"Blue On Blue is beautifully performed; and the music perfectly complements Bobby as he sings the lyrics to this tune that is very pretty, even if the lyrics aren't all that happy."
"Bobby Vinton was the eternal baby face of the crooners after Pat Boone. His style was obviously determined by the warm side of the slender melodies, and he triumphed accordingly."
“Blue Velvet is one of my favourite songs. A fabulous singer, this man was created to croon."
