(#2) Bobby Rydell On His Friendship With the Great Buddy Rich
Bobby Rydell was a teen idol before my time. I was around but just a baby when he had hits like :Wild One” and “Volare” in 1960 and “Forget Him” three years later. All three sold a million copies. Rydell had 19 Top 40 hits. Through the years he’s made deep friendships from his childhood Philly friend Frankie Avalon, to his “Bye Bye Birdie” co-star Ann Margret and one of the greatest drummers in the word Buddy Rich. (Clip 003 – 1:53) Buddy Rich died in 1987 – he was 69.

Bobby Rydell released his autobiography, “Teen Idol on the Rocks: A Tale of Second Chances” a few years ago. We will have a link to purchase in the description of this video. Go to BobbyRydell.com for concert dates. We have clips from Bobby on three of our channel RockHistoryMusic, RockHistoryCanada and our Entertainment channel NailSheet – there will be link in the description of this video. – by John Beaudin
