Bobby Sherman – BOBBY SHERMAN***

Little Woman/Rainy Day Thought/Seattle/One Too Many Mornings/A Time For Us/Sounds Along The Way/This Guy’s In Love With You/Love/Land Of Make Believe/Bluechip/Time

Debut album from American teen idol Bobby Sherman, whose bubble gum appeal failed to cross the Atlantic. Bobby Sherman includes the US No. 3 hit single Little Woman. (US:11)

“To me, bubble gum is like baroque pop in a way. The arrangements are pretty complicated, and it's some of the greatest fluff ever. Bobby Sherman was one of the best practitioners of this underrated genre.”

“Bobby Sherman was always one of my favourite teen idols. He had such a good voice and was good to look at too.”

“Bobby Sherman was the perfect example of a very charismatic singer, provided with a powerful ability to engage the stage through the magisterial arrangement of easy to listen ballads, so typical of the late sixties.”

“Bobby Sherman, one of the best exponents of bubble gum music on the planet.”

“As Rolling Stone once put it, Bobby is a 'teenybopper with talent'. He wrote several songs, arranged songs, co-produced some of his albums, played 16 instruments, and could sing wonderfully. He was also consistently in the top 10 during the late 1960s.”

“All of Bobby Sherman's songs were great. Just listening to his voice and looking at the posters I had when I was a teen was about as big a thrill I could get. His voice is just great along with him.”

“Teen idol, Bobby Sherman, star of Shindig and Here Come The Brides, was a sensation back in the late 60s, early 70s. He had good looks, charisma, was multi-talented, and possessed a certain uniqueness that set him apart. It's unfortunate that today's teen idols seem to be carbon copies of each other.”

“He was my biggest crush when I was about twelve years old. Not the strongest voice, but he had that twinkle in his eye and really seemed to enjoy performing.”
