Bobby Vee has always been a one of my favorite singers from 60's. His voice still causes me to stop and listen. Very good vocalist.
I read when Bob Dylan first got to NYC, from Minnesota, told people he was Bobby Vee. True story. Part of Bob's bio.

Bobby Vee is one of the best rock and roll singers of all time.He has been married to the same lady all these years and that is unusual in the show buisness world. I wish him all the best. It is sad that he has alzheimers and his wife is sick too.May god watch over this talented man.
