I have to admit it brings a tear to the eye, but also a wonderful feeling of warmth that he lives on through his fabulous family. Please know how much joy he brought to all of us through his music and thanks so much for sharing this tribute.
I’m 70 now and I still cry when I see Bobby face, I was 15 when he became my idol and I was blessed to see and meet him a few times when he came to England. He is sorely missed. RIP Bobby xxx
Your dad, Bobby Vee, made us soooo happy. Loved his songs. His smile NEVER changed and I truly believe it revealed his tremendous heart. The genuine smile reminded me of my dad, also, RIP
One of the first records I bought as a 7 year old "More Than I Can Say" I am 60 now still have the record , helped me through the painful memories and hurt , thank you Bobby Vee from Chaz. Mork god bless, a genuine talent your father's songs will still be heard 100 years from now. 🫶🙏🌞🌟⭐💫✨ there's a thousand star's but only one Bobby Vee "Charms" still brings tears to my eyes then as today tomorrow forever ,thank you 🙏
This is a wonderful tribute, I was a fan in New Zealand and Bobby came to Dunedin in the South Island. I was a year younger than Bobby and could not afford to buy a ticket so my Dad bought a ticket for me for 10 shillings. I had his records and practically wore them out on a record player that again had been bought for me by my Dad. He bought me that for passing an exam which I subsequently failed! So my Dad helped me to get to know your Dad. My brother and I published a book about our Dad after he passed away which I hope he would be proud of. I am sure if your Dad could see what you have done in his memory, I bet you he would be proud of you too. Much Love and Aroha!
I live in Melbourne Australia and saw him with the don and Phil in the early 60's still have All the old 45's ..he was gorgeous ..I was Mad for him ..RIP xx
I had the chance to meet Bobby Vee and his two sons, when they performed at the Vicksburg performing arts center, in Vicksburg Michigan, in 1995. I still have the autographed pictures of him and his two sons. I also still have the advertisement flyers from the show. My friend Bob Wallace, who trained me on one of our local radio stations, was the MC for the show. Great times.
I remember when Bob bought a house for his parents in north Moorhead, MN. He would occasionally stop in at my grandmother's grocery store on the north side to visit. I did a sketch of Bob at one time. He signed it and it sat on display in the window at Bernie's Record Shop in Fargo for some time. Somewhere around the house I have an old autograph book signed by Bob, his brother Bill, Dick Dunkirk and Bob Korum, the Shadows. Fond memories.
I was so teary eyed when I heard this! Your dad will always be one of my favorites! Know every word to his songs! I will never forget him! This song is a great tribute to him! Thank you!😢
What a heart-felt tribute to a great guy and artist. I was always a fan from the very beginning in 1959-60. I had the good fortune of meeting Bobby in June of 1975 of all places in Bismarck ND. I was there only a short time for a visit, went to a dinner club one evening with my brother-in-law and Bobby was performing. We sat at a table near the stage and during the break between sets, Bobby jumped off the little stage, asked to sit with us (there were two empty chairs at the table), of course, I said yes, and we had dinner together. We sat there over dinner chatting like we were old friends. We talked a little about the plane crash that night in '59, but mostly we just chatted, asked some personal questions of each other, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company. It was an evening I'll never forget.
I hope Bobby family are doing OK now getting over there mum and dad passing away i know you never get over it but to both of your parents RIP from a woman in North Wales UK ❤ 🇬🇧
What a beautiful tribute! Your grandfather's voice and music made us happy as we grew up. I sang the songs right along with him as they played on my radio!
A 'man' well loved and well missed by so many…. You make the song beautiful….I can hear your Dad in your voice….Thank you, Robby……..The video is perfect….
Thank you for this wonderful tribute from the Velline family! Though I didn't know Bobby Vee I loved his music and still have quite a few of his records that I bought in the 1960s. Great music we'll never forget, thank you Bobby! We wish you were still here.
What a great movie could be made about Bobby Vee! An opening scene of an older Bobby sitting alone in a cafe listening to a jukebox play 'Yesterday And You (Armen's Theme)' would launch a wonderful movie full of memories for everyone, especially us baby boomers plus re-energize his record sales. So many important events happened during his life, especially the 1960s! I hope he and Bobby Vinton were friendly as it was humorous how schoolkids of the day got them mixed up when requesting air play and buying singles. Quick - 'Charms', 'Blue On Blue', which Bobby V!
Was just recapturing my days listening to Bobby, Buddy there when I seen this. Bobby's vocal & songs had a huge impact on me as a Vocalist and Songwriter, when I first started on my music journey from the mid 80s. Seen Bobby with The Crickets in 88 in Glasgow, Scotland. Still have the programme brochure for it. Buddy's/Bobby's music Im indebted to, as it helped me form my own. I was supposed to tour with Jerry Naylor back in 2011 and 2013 for his Rockabilly Legends project, but it fell through. I designed the front cover of the only book about The Crickets too, so all that music is ingrained in me, to which I'm thankful for and the memories of finding the music in record stores here when I was younger is something I will cherish to the end of my days. RIP Bobby/Buddy x
I never heard Bobby Vee sing this song but everytime I heard it sung by Paul Petersen I would tear up. I loved every song Bobby Vee recorded and how ironic too, my dad died from Alzheimer's just like Bobby did. R.I.P Robert Veline I miss your wonderful voice. RockinRonny
This is a wonderfully touching tribute to Bobby, which I only just discovered. I'm 74 now and I'm british; I grew up listening and loving all of Bobbys record releases of the earlier 60's; He was immensely popular in the UK, He never made a bad record. I've lived in the US a long time now, and I got to chatting with him for ages after a nostalgia concert he did in Phoenix AZ with Brian Hyland, Johnny Tillotson, and Chris Montez, about 12 years ago? (I'm not sure, time flies!). We got on the topic of Del Shannon, and Bobby said to me these very words: "Not a day passes when I don't think of that guy". I'm sure that was true; they were very close friends. I replied: if only Del had called........ Anyway: 'My Dad', a lovely fitting tribute to a lovely man. Pete.
My wife Susan and my older sister Cindy were big fans of Bobby Vee growing up in the late 50s and 60s My sister Cindy use to have pajama party s on Friday nights and her and her girlfriends would be playing all the Rock and Roll song Alot of Bobby's songs I was 13 and would be dancing with these beautiful 16 and 17 yr olds My wife's name was Susie so when Bobby came out with Susie baby. She was in love with him Lol My sister Cindy is gone now and my wife of 48yrs also passed away and now Bobby is gone Great memories Rip Bobby
I saw your Dad in Branson, Mo. was able to talk to him and get a picture, he was absolutely there for fans, he was so nice, down to earth. Loved the video, such a loving, beautiful family that he had. There isn’t to many like him, he is still missed by many, thank you for sharing the video.
I was a very young girl when I picked up an album at my grandparents house...turned it over and read the back telling the story of your father performing in place of Buddy Holly who was one of my favorite singers...I played that album over and over and those songs have been some of my favorites my entire life. Your father was one of a kind and left a beautiful music legacy. He will be greatly missed.
I met your father a couple of times when he played in London in the 90's. What a gentleman who always had time for his fans. A wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. The world is a sadder place without his smile but through his music we will always feel it.
Bobby Vee was my favorite rock and roller. I got to meet him at Knott's Berry Farm one May. One of the most genuine guys you could ever meet! I Love you Bobby! You have a nice family too, cause I met your 2 sons too cause they were playing in your back up band.
You take someone like this, talented clean cut class educated, and then you look what is putting out music today! Makes you want to puke!!!!! RIP Bobby. Your music will live on cause it was some of the best!!!!
Several years ago I met your dad and brothers...Bobby Vee and the Vees. We talked for quite awhile and took many pictures. It was one of the highlites of my life. A great guy with time to share with us. He brought us some of the greatest music ever also. Thank you for posting this, hope your families are well. RIP Bobby Vee.
Thank you so much for sharing. I loved “your Dad” from the age of 14 until....well, I still do. My favourite ever singer, I was fortunate enough to meet on a number of occasions. Just the nicest person, with the nicest family. He brought so much pleasure to so many people over the years, with his music. We were all so sad when he left us far too soon, but wonderful that we still have his music. So pleased to be able to see some family videos of your Mom and Dad. Thanks again.
My wife and I saw Bobby eve in the 1970s at the new Munich ball room new Munich mn excellent performer his wonderful wife Karen was also there we talked between performances exciting evening !
When I was young, I wanted to be a singer, and it was your Dad (and a few others like him) that were my inspiration, and won my admiration! God Bless your Dad, he was one of the GREAT ones!
H e played WISC state fair I didbt know he was there and stumbled on as he was coming on. I forgot how many good songs he recorded THE BEST FREE concert I ever saw Bobby was an entertainer.
Loved Bobby Vee mucic. Wish I could have seen him play live. This is a great tribute. May he rest in peace. Maybe some day we can bring an end to altzimers. I lost my dad to it. I recently lost my aunt in February. It seems to be in the genes as so many in my family I'm finding out has it.
Beautiful tribute. I'm a fan of your Papa, and play him on my radio show from time to time. Like tomorrow. Which is why I jumped down the rabbit hole that brought me here. LOL! God Bless!
Gracious day. It is tough for me to watch & listen to this. I have all of Bobby's LP's and 45's. My favorite LP by him is the one that "My Dad" is on. It was a compilation of hits from that time period. I will be 73 this May so I was around when your Dad was topping the charts. So sad that your daddy and mother are both passed. Thanks for posting this song. Bobby Vee brings back precious memories.
Thank you so much for bringing back such great high school memories for me. I fell in love with your dad, not only for his voice & looks but because of my husband's resemblance to him. My husband (boyfriend at the time) was in the Navy for 4 yrs and so Bobbie's music is what I clung onto for those years. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
I met your dad at the Silver Reef Casino several years ago. We talked for quite awhile. Your brothers too. A great family and a real guy. Thanks for these wonderful memories that you have shared....RIP friend.
I as a fan of Bobby, I was able to attend his funeral it was an honor to be there to pay my respects. My family had suffered losses to Alzheimer's disease. Your family is such an amazing talented musicians. I play his music on my jukebox at home. Loved the strings to his sounds. Brilliant. Thanks from a fan from Sartell, MN.
Your dad was one my favorites in the 1960s. I had the honor of meeting him in Bismarck in 1975. He was performing at a nightclub and I just happened to be in town, so I went. Between sets he came down from the stage and asked to sit with my brother-in-law and me and have dinner (we had room at our table). We talked for about 45 mins over dinner before he went back on stage...a wonderful, gracious, and talented man. I was profoundly saddened to learn of his death last year. My condolences to you and your family. He lives on in the hearts of all his fans.
As a young teen, “Take Good Care Of My Baby” was my favorite song. I listened to it over and over and over. I had a tremendous first crush on Bobby, and was soooo sad when he got married, because I wanted him to wait for me! I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was a wonderful husband and father,
I grew up in the early 60s enjoying Bobbie Vee records which were played regurlarly on KPOI and KORL radio here in Hawaii This was a beautiful video. Thankyou and Aloha from Hawaii Kimo Holland
My teenage years were filled with your Dad and others music... We all miss him as Music today, with a few exceptions is just not the same... If not for the Beatles, and he were healthy, he’d still be charting in my book.
