Rydell was the son of Jennie (Sapienza) and Adrio "Al" Ridarelli, and grew up in the Lower Moyamensing neighborhood of South Philadelphia. In 1950, he won a talent show on the television series Paul Whiteman's TV Teen Club and gained a spot in the cast, where he remained for several years. He changed his name to Bobby Rydell and played in several bands in the Philadelphia area. After three unsuccessful singles for small companies, he signed a recording contract with Cameo Records. After a couple of flops, "Kissin' Time" made the charts in 1959. In May 1960, Rydell toured Australia with The Everly Brothers, Billy "Crash" Craddock, Marv Johnson, The Champs, and The Crickets. He recorded an Australian version of "Kissin' Time" for the tour.
His second success was "We Got Love". It was his first album to sell a million copies and obtained gold disc status. "Wild One", followed with "Little Bitty Girl", was his second million-selling single. He continued releasing hit songs with "Swingin' School" which was backed by "Ding-A-Ling", and Volare later that year sold over a million copies. He performed at the Copacabana in New York City in 1961, where he was the youngest performer to headline at the nightclub. In February 1961 he appeared at the Festival du Rock, at the Palais des Sports de Paris in Paris, France.
Rydell released the song "Wildwood Days" in 1963; it reached Number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remained on the chart for nine weeks. A mural on the Wildwood, New Jersey boardwalk (painted in 2014) honors Rydell, whose song placed the community in the national spotlight.
During the 1960s, Rydell had numerous hit records on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His recording career earned him 34 Top 100 hits, placing him in the Top 5 artists of his era (Billboard). They included his most popular successes: "Wild One" (his highest scoring single, at number 2), "Volare" (number 4), "Swingin' School" (number 5), "Kissin' Time" (number 11), "Sway" (number 14), "I've Got Bonnie" (number 18), and "The Cha-Cha-Cha" (number 10). His last major chart success was "Forget Him", which reached number 4 on the Hot 100 in January 1964. The song, written by Tony Hatch, was his fifth and final gold disc winner.
