Bobby Rydell was a Philadelphia-born Italian-American teen idol who burst onto the rock ’n’ roll scene with hot hits like Wild One and more mainstream numbers such as We Got Love, Volare and Sway.
This 2CD set features the A- and B-sides of his US and UK singles during this era, from his 1959 debut on the Veko label and through his Cameo releases to the end of 1962, and including his duets with Chubby Checker, along with all the titles from his albums We Got Love and Bobby Sings, Bobby Swings and selected titles from his Salutes The Great Ones album.
It features the 22 of his career 29 Billboard Hot 100 entries which he achieved during these years, including five Top 10 hits, We Got Love, Wild One (his biggest hit at No.2), Swingin' School, Volare and The Cha-Cha-Cha, and his chart entries with duets with Chubby Checker.
It’s a thorough overview of the primary era of his chart career and a substantial showcase for his talent not only as a performer who readily wowed a teenage audience but as a versatile song stylist across the pop spectrum.
