There! I’ve Said It Again – BOBBY VINTON***

You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Loves You/Unchained Melody/There I've Said It Again/If/My Foolish Heart/Trying/ Lavender Blue/To Each His Own/I Can Dream Can't I/Warm & Tender/My Heart Belongs To You/Too Young

Popular vocalist Bobby Vinton was at the peak of his popularity with the release of this album of oldies. The title track provided Bobby with his second successive US No. 1 hit single. With the exception of Warm & Tender the entire album consists of songs that were made popular during the 1940s and early 1950s. (US:8)

"Bobby Vinton was one of those few artists that maintained a level of popularity in that era with his slower paced, more emotional and sentimental tunes. While most of the music of that time was introducing a lot of wiggling, shaking and groovin', Bobby's music just made you want to close your eyes and listen."

"I'm glad that Bobby finally gained recognition in the UK, however belatedly, because he was a singer of real quality."

"Fans of early sixties pop music should give Bobby Vinton a listen."

"For a decade between 1962 and 1972, Bobby Vinton's easy going, unpretentious pop tunes climbed the charts over and over. Even more remarkable was his seamless presence on the charts in spite of the British Invasion."

"In comparison to today's standards, the tasteful understated orchestration is timeless. Bobby Vinton is the quintessence of hard work and perfection."
