Bobby Vee: Bobby Vee's Golden Greats - 15 Of His Biggest Hits (LP, Japan)

(Liberty) 15 tracks - with loose bag & obi

Bobby Vee's Golden Greats was the first compilation of the singer's hits, compiled and released in late 1962 - at a time when he pretty much ruled the charts and his records were quite representative of what was happening in music. The greatest hits - not in any particular order - were reserved for the first page, and the biggest hit on page two was Rubber Ball, which reached number six. The most interesting track, however, is undoubtedly Suzie Baby, which Vee originally recorded for the tiny Soma label and was later licensed by Liberty Records. It dates from the early days of his recording career and features him very much in the style of Buddy Holly, and the effect is extremely haunting. Otherwise, every track here deserves its place on the album, and as an added bonus, the creators have included Vee's rendition of Holly's Everyday. Along with Suzie Baby and Rubber Ball, which is sung in the spirit of the late Texas rock 'n' roll legend, this helps make a large part of this album a tribute to Holly. As a hit compilation, this is an above-average release, and it's actually unexpectedly thorough, thanks mostly to the obscurities included; but this is also too limited a way to discover an underrated talent like Vee.

Bobby Vee

Real Name: Robert Thomas Velline Born: April 30, 1943 Hometown: Fargo, North Dakota Bobby came from a musical family. His father Sidney played the violin and piano, his uncle played sax, and his two older brothers, Bill and Sidney, Jr., both played guitar. Bobby learned to play the guitar in high school. He played for a while in a group called the Shadows with his brother Bill and friends Jim Stillman and Bob Korum. On February 3, 1959, when Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens were killed in a plane crash, the Shadows were asked to fill in on the scheduled show in Fargo, North Dakota.

Bobby was asked to sing with the group because he knew the lyrics of six of Buddy Holly's songs. The audience loved his performance so much that an executive from Lib-erty records contacted Bobby to sign with the label. Later that year, he had his first release on the label, "Suzy Baby." His first major hit was a song the Clovers had made popular in 1956, called "Devil Or Angel" which became a hit for Bobby during the summer of 1960. In July of 1961, he recorded his only number one national hit with the Carole King and Gerry Coffin tune "Take Good Care Of My Baby." .
