American singer Bobby Rydell’s career spans over six decades long. Rydell was a teen-idol in the late 50’s with hit songs like “Volare”, “Wild One”, “Kissin’ Time” and many more.
Rydell was the youngest headliner to play the Copacabana in New York and also starred in the movie version of Broadway’s “Bye Bye Birdie”, playing Hugo Peabody.
