His career launched as a fill-in for the recently deceased Buddy Holly, Bobby Vee scored several pop hits during the early '60s, that notorious period of popular music sandwiched between the birth of rock & roll and the rise of the British Invasion. Though a few of his singles -- "Rubber Ball," for one -- were as innocuous as anything else from the era, Vee had a knack for infectious Brill Building pop, thanks to his ebullient voice as well as the cadre of songwriters standing behind him. Born in Fargo, North Dakota in 1943, Robert Thomas Velline was still in his teens when he formed his first combo, the Shadows, with his brother Bill and their friend Bob Korum. The trio were playing around the area when their big break came, at the expense of one of Bobby's musical idols; the Winter Dance Party package tour, with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper were on their way to Fargo when their plane went down in Iowa, killing all three. The Shadows were scheduled to play the date instead of Holly, and several months later, producer Tommy "Snuff" Garrett supervised their first recording session and the release of the single "Suzie Baby" on Soma Records. Liberty/RCA picked up the single later in the year, and though it just barely scraped the pop charts, the label kept plugging with Vee as a solo act, recording him on Adam Faith's "What Do You Want?," which also failed to move. With the collective might of the Brill Building behind him, though, Vee was guaranteed to make it; his third single, "Devil or Angel," hit the Top Ten in mid-1960, followed by "Rubber Ball" later that year. One year later, Vee's biggest hit, "Take Good Care of My Baby," spent three weeks at number one, followed by the number two "Run to Him." His fame appeared to wane after the 1962 Top Ten single "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," due in large part to the success of the Beatles and other English acts. Vee appeared in several movies (Just for Fun, Play It Cool) and briefly tried to cash in on the British phenomenon -- with the disappointing Bobby Vee Sings the New Sound from England! -- but also recorded songs by his early influences, including Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Bobby Vee continued to chart throughout the 1960s, and even hit the Top Ten again in 1967 with "Come Back When You Grow Up," but after a brief attempt at more serious recordings, he hit the rock & roll oldies circuit. Bobby Vee meets The Crickets (1962) 224 Kbp/s 85 MB MP3 The reissue of this enjoyable album in 1991 by EMI Records includes ten bonus tracks, including alternate takes, unreleased songs, and the "Buddy Holly Medley," a recent recording by Vee And The Crickets.

Bobby Vee - The EP Collection Released 3 March 1995) Label: Seeformile (Warner) 77 MB VBR ~200 kbp/s covers His career launched as a fill-in for the recently deceased Buddy Holly, Bobby Vee scored several pop hits during the early '60s, that notorious period of popular music sandwiched between the birth of rock & roll and the rise of the British Invasion. Though a few of his singles -- "Rubber Ball," for one -- were as innocuous as anything else from the era, Vee had a knack for infectious Brill Building pop, thanks to his ebullient voice as well as the cadre of songwriters standing behind him. Born in Fargo, North Dakota in 1943, Robert Thomas Velline was still in his teens when he formed his first combo, the Shadows, with his brother Bill and their friend Bob Korum.

Bobby Vee continued to chart throughout the 1960s, and even hit the Top Ten again in 1967 with "Come Back When You Grow Up," but after a brief attempt at more serious recordings, he hit the rock & roll oldies circuit. Most Bobby Vee fans will probably find more enjoyment from a greatest hits cd, but this one does show off Vee's talents in a different light. On the covers, he sings with credibility on the rockers and ballads of others showing he was more than one of the teenage idols who got by just on good looks and saccharin flavored material. Plus there are a few of his own hits. All of the recordings, his hits and covers, have feeling. Tracks 4 & 5 are with The Crickets. According to the liner notes, the only Cricket who played on the sessions was drummer Jerry Allison. The other Crickets just showed up for the photo sessions. So you want to run from this cd? Well, The Ventures all showed up on tracks 8 & 9. And it is the sound that counts and the sound is rock n roll. One song, "Don't You Believe Them", written by Vee, is from his "The New Sound" LP of 1964 which was a collection of tunes based on the British beat sound. The recordings are excellent sound wise and except for tracks 9, 11, and 18 are stereo. This collection may not be for everyone, but will likely be fun for all Vee fans. Tracks: 1. Little Star 2. Lollipop 3. Rubber Ball 4. Someday 5. Bo Diddley 6. Night Has a Thousand Eyes 7. Peggy Sue 8. Walk Right Back 9. Linda Lu 10. Take Good Care of My Baby 11. At a Time Like This 12. More Than I Can Say 13. Run to Him 14. Forever Kind of Love 15. Sharing You 16. Since I Met You Baby 17. Devil or Angel 18. Don't You Believe Them 19. Do You Want to Dance? 20. One Last Kiss [From Bye Bye Birdie] 21. Sincerely 22. I Can't Say Goodbye http://rapidshare.com/files/210236391/BV-TEPC.rar enjoy |
