I saw an Elvis Presley movie Jailhouse Rock, where he gets out of jail and makes his own records and takes them to the radio stations himself. And then, he puts records in the store. After seeing that, I made records an put them in stores. Bobby Vinton elvisjailjailhouse share on social
I played Big Band jazz music. I wasn't into rock and roll. I was just there because it was a living. I surprised everyone. I'm still surprising people. Bobby Vinton bandbigjazz Change image and share on social
I would sell 2 million records, a million went to teenagers and a million went to the adults. So, when The Beatles became so popular, I lost a million to the teenagers, but I was still selling a million to the adults. Bobby Vinton adultbeatleslose share on social
Hey, we've all been to high school We've seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren't in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy. Bobby Vinton crowdhappyhave Change image and share on social
I did have a big following in the upper New York area. I was at the New York State Fair a few times over the years. I have areas that I say are my areas. Bobby Vinton areabigfair Change image and share on social
The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music. Bobby Vinton businesscompletelyentertainment Change image and share on social

To me, there is nothing better than me going into the studio with a live band and hearing those violins and that echo and that sound. I mean I loved it. Bobby Vinton bandechohear Change image and share on social
Most of those takes were one take. I made those records in three minutes. I didn't have time to get nervous or scared the first time I sang it. It was all 'live' and I enjoyed it so much. Bobby Vinton enjoylivemake Change image and share on social
Sammy Davis, I backed him up. I used to study him every night. I saw how great performers worked and was able to incorporate a little bit from the best. Bobby Vinton backbitedavis Change image and share on social
