Robert

Thomas Velline (April

30, 1943 – October 24, 2016), known professionally as Bobby Vee,

was an American singer, songwriter and musician who was a teen idol in the early 1960s and also appeared in films. had thirty-eight Hot 100 chart hits, ten of which reached the Top 20. He

had six gold singles in

his career. Vee was born

in Fargo, North Dakota, to

Sydney Ronald Velline (a chef, pianist and fiddle player) and Saima Cecelia

Tapanila, in a family of Norwegian and Finnish heritage. His first single, "Suzie Baby," was written by Vee with a nod

to Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" and recorded for the Soma label, based

in Minneapolis, in 1959;

it was a hit in Minnesota and drew enough national attention to be purchased

by Liberty Records, which

signed him later that year. His follow-up single, a cover of Adam Faith's UK number-one "What Do You Want?",

charted in the lower reaches of the Billboard pop chart in

early 1960. His fourth release, a revival of the or Angel" (U.S. number six), brought him into the

Say" (1961, UK number 4), "Run to Him" (1961, US number 2; UK number 6), "The Night

Has A Thousand Eyes" (1963, US number 3; UK number 3) and

"Come Back When You Grow Up" (1967, US number 3). On the recording of

"Come Back When You Grow Up" Bobby Vee and The Strangers are

credited. However, that was merely the record label giving a name to the studio

musicians working that day. Bobby's original band, The Shadows, backed him on

the road, but changed their name to The Strangers upon learning of the UK

band The Shadows who

backed Cliff Richard. They had

not backed him since 1963. He also recorded, in 1961, a version of the song

"Lollipop", originally by Ronald & Ruby, which also became a success. Vee had a
