Free Music Notes for All-Time Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Like the title says, these are Bobby Vinton's "All-Time Greatest Hits"
Hit: 5 Stars
"Blue Velvet singer" was a clue in the crossword puzzle today and it is good to see that the song is still remembered and not just David Lynch's movie of the same title. The same holds true for Bobby Vinton. On February 1, 1964 "I Want to Hold Your Hand" became the #1 song in the U.S. and stayed there for seven weeks, at which point it was replaced by "She Loves You" for two weeks, and then "Can't Buy Me Love" for five weeks. I bring this all up because before that epic 14 week run, the artist who had been at the top of the charts for the entire month of January 1964 was Bobby Vinton, with his third #1 hit, "There! I've Send It Again!" The previous year Vinton had spent four weeks on top with "Roses Are Red (My Love" and another three with his signature song "Blue Velvet." Vinton had his last #1 near the end of 1963 with "Mr. Lonely," but by then the face of popular music had changed.
Going into 1963 Vinton was well on his way to being the crooner for the Sixties, but then came the Beatles and the British Invasion. Despite suddenly being out of vogue, Vinton had a pretty good career throughout the decade. You might be surprised to find out that in the first decade of his career Vinton had 28 songs make it to the Billboard Top 40. But this CD only has 25 songs, so obviously some of them got left off of this one. In addition to the above #1 hits this album has "Rain, Rain Go Away" (#12), "Over the Mountain (Across the Sea)" (#21), "Blue on Blue" (#3), "My Heart Belongs to Only You" (#9), "Tell Me Why" (313), "Long Lonely Nights" (#17), "L-O-N-E-L-Y" (#22), "Satin Pillows" (#23), "Coming Home Solider" (#11), "Please Love Me Forever" (#6), "Just as Much as Ever" (#24), "Take Good Care of My Baby" (#33), "Halfway to Paradise" (#23), "I Love How You Love Me" (#9), "To Know You Is to Love You" (#34), "The Days of Sand and Shovels" (#34), "Every Day of My Life" (#24), and "Sealed With a Kiss" (#19).
So it turns out there are three songs here there were not Top 40 hits, including "My Elusive Dreams" (#46). So there is no reason to complain about including that one, however, the same cannot be said for "No Arms Can Ever Hold You" (#93) or "I'll Make You My Baby" (never charted). For the record, what is missing would be Vinton's first Top 40 song from 1962, "I Love You the Way You Are" (#38), "Let's Kiss and Make Up" (#38), "Trouble Is My Middle Name" (#33), "Clinging Vine" (#17), "What Color (Is a Man" (#38), "Dum-De-Da" (#40), and a Top 10 entry, "Dearest Santa" (#8) to go along with another holiday entry "The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" (#23). The cutoff date on this collection ends up being 1972, so "My Melody of Love" (#3) and "Beer Barrel Polka" (#33) from 1974 and 1975 get left off (Too bad: how many Top 10 this are partly sung in Polish?). So there are more Bobby Vinton hits out there. Still, this is a solid collection and the point of enumerating all of his Top 40 hits is to simply prove by the numbers that Bobby Vinton was the crooner of the 1960s.
