Do you remember Bobby Vinton?
He is now 78 years old.
This youtube clip is from 12/11/2011 when he was 76 preforming in a Live Concert. I am amazed how at his age he performs to such a high standard. I saw him 43 years ago in Las Vegas. He brought the house down singing and playing on piano, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, drums and oboe. And he still doing it today. I think it just incredible a man his age can still do all this and not look like an old man trying to drag up the past.
His personal life
Bobby and his wife, Dolores "Dolly" Dobbins Vinton, have been married since December 17, 1962, and they have five children. I this like this man for alone.
