Bobby Vee was a big artist in the 60s. He had several songs including "Rubber Ball", "Run to Him", "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" and "Come Back When You Grow Up". RIP Bobby
This is another of the teenage idols from the 60's. He was a singer, songwriter & musician & had a lot of hits such as "Devil Or Angel", "Rubber Ball", "Run To Him", "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes", "Come Back When You Grow Up" etc.
Mel and Shawn…so true…you two are the only and best doing the oldies. My husband is 79 and I am 73 and you bring so much joy to us by watching your reactions to the music we loved as teenagers. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Bobby Vee was always one of my favorite pop singers of the 1960s. In 1975 I was with my brother-in-law in a nightclub where Bobby was headlining. When it came time for them to take a break, he jumped down off the stage, stood in front of us at our table and asked if he could join us for dinner. Of course, we said yes and we talked with him over dinner for about half an hour. And of course I had to ask him about the night Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens were killed and how he ended up with his high school garage band playing that concert that night. It was very cool to get the story directly from him. He was the nicest guy!
This song was written by Carole King and her then-husband, Jerry Goffin, one of their innumerable hits before Carole went on to a singing career. Rubber Ball is one of Bobby's best songs.
You guys are the only ones doing these songs! The other ones are moving to today's stuff and I'm 56 I love hearing this stuff my parents played.. Like this song.. I'm sticking with you two because your channel is the best for songs and I can totally tell your having fun! You gotta do 50 ways to leave your lover.. It's a fun song you will love it! Love to you both!
Teenage idol singing about true love 💕 There were so many wonderful songs to choose from when putting our coins in the Jukebox AND this was sure to be picked🥰🎶☮️
Loved, loved, loved Bobby Vee. (I had a bit of a crush as a young girl, actually.) RIP to a very sweet man. It's true that you two seem to be the only ones that are really digging deep into these classic hits from the 1950s and '60s. I love it and I can't stop watching your channel!
You guys are sure doing a good job! I love the older songs that you are doing because your commentary on them is very insightful and mature. I enjoy so much seeing the appreciation you show for the innocence and kindness that is often shown in the lyrics of older music. You don't make fun of it but see its value and that is so important I think. So much of the music we hear today is so sad, and degrading to women. It breaks my heart sometimes, when I see what the younger performers are doing to get attention. I really enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing it each day. Have a wonderful day ahead. :)
I've been a hopeless romantic since I was a least 10 loved the heartbroken gentleman. I forgot I read here tht it was Carole King then husband Jerry Gotfin who cowrote this, still love it!
GREAT Reaction. I really want to thank you guys for doing this music. The viewer are correct in saying YOU are the greatest for doing all these great oldies. I love this music, some of it before my time, but I grew up listening to this music and I love it. Keep listening to 50's through 70's. Greatest songs ever. BIG thumbs up to you all.
I was in love with Bobby Vee when I was 9, 10, 11, and on up. LoL! Loved all his song’s throughout his career. His band got a fortunate call from an unfortunate accident that killed the singers that were to perform at a popular venue. Bobby’s band only knew six songs, but the owner’s didn’t care, they needed a band to fill in for the singer’s who died the night before…they were The Big Bopper, Buddy Hollie and Frankie Vallens, sadly. Bobby Vee’s career took off after that night, playing six songs over and over again! 😍
Always loved this song. I inherited all of my older sisters and mothers 45’s when I was young so I had a lot of oldies and this was one of them! Great hearing it again!
YES YES Bobby Vee This was one of the first records I bought. A friend and I just about wore out his 'Greatest Hits' album at sleep-overs. Good memories. Next, try 'Run To Him'.
At just 15 years of age Bobby and his friends formed a group on real short notice to take the place of the recently deceased Buddy Holly. Bob Dylan, who went under another name at the time toured with Bobby for a while. Dylan said that Bobby was the nicest person he had ever met in the business. Bobby died at age 73 in 2016 after having dealt with Alzheimer's disease for years. One of my favorites (aside from the one featured here) is "Run To Him" as done on the Dick Clark Show (even if it was lip-synched).
You really are among the few watching these old videos and hearing these old songs. I love that you're listening to these golden oldies! I'd like to suggest that you listen to Those Magic Changes by Johnny Contardo. He's a member of the group Sha-na-na and an amazing vocalist! Best to watch the Sha-na-na version of the video - it also showcases the talent and fun of the group!
Yes! thank you, this is so much fun. One of the great ones. Please don't ask about Barbara, Run to him, The night has a thousand eyes are a few more from Bobby.
Hi Guys you are the only ones doing this music. Great reactions and it appears that you two are on a wonderful journey and I'm so excited for you. Again, keep it up.
Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Many of their songs were about loss or insecurity. Their first major hit Will You Love me Tomorrow was written when Carole was 17 and Gerry was 21. Take Good Care of my Baby was released when Carole was 19 and Gerry was 23. They divorced in 1968. Gerry wasn’t a faithful husband and he has a child with one of the singers they wrote for. This gives their songs an entirely different and much sadder meanings. Happy songs with sad lyrics !
really liked this one when it was released. Bobby had some great hits. you guys are great and on of the few reactors to these oldies so I really want to thank you....Another old fav of mine was "Pat Boone - Moody River " great song with a story.
Bobby Vee's career got started when he filled in for Buddy Holly right after that fatal plane crash. He had a seat on that same plane but changed his mind about flying that day.
To SHAUN & MEL:YES!! These songs of 1955 tru 1961 tru 1974 were loaded with SOCIAL MESSAGES that every kid on the ""old block"" LEARNED ABOUT LIFE AND FEELINGS!!! 1959 tru 1963 TEEN IDOL ERA* 1964 tru 1967 BRITISH INVASION ERA* 1967 tru 1969 FLOWER POWER ERA and then the GOSPEL POP ROCK ERA:1968 tru 1973* Thanks again!!
bobby vee was one of the acts that took the place of the act featuring buddy holly, richie valens,and j.p richardson, it was how he got noticed and became one of the biggest teen idols of the early 60's
Bobby v got his start the day the music died he was one of the performers who had to perform the next night it was an open call for anyone with after the airplane crashed with Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens and the Big bopper
Gorgeous, Quintessential 1960s Pop music. Bobby Vee Made so many great records that you Guys should get the "Greatest Hits" album (a double) and work your way through it. If you decide to react to another BV track Please make it "The Night Has A Thousand yes".
You guys need to react to Bobby Rydell. He is one of the very best singers of the teen idols back in the early '60s here's a couple of links to songs by him - "Volare" th-cam.com/video/u5bBcepwgsw/w-d-xo.html "Forget Him" th-cam.com/video/U4SLyEudz2w/w-d-xo.html
The way true gentlemen were. His love was not selfish, demeaning, demanding, jealous. He thought more about her happiness. He set her free. A saying in love: If you set it free and it comes back, it was meant to be. Good reactions. Bobby Vee was performing live with his sons up to 2011. Until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011. He publically revealed he had the disease on 29 April 2012. His final new recordings with help from friends and family was released on 3 February 2014 called The Adobe Sessions. He died on 26 October 2016 due to complications of Alzheimer's.He was 73.
#ShawnandMel ... This song and it's message is sadly an expression of something that is still going on... Many men and women are in love with someone that is in a relationship or married to someone else... Some never shared their true feelings, some where put in the friend zone and some has a opportunity and the timing was just off... Unfortunately there is the last category of the Plan Bs that people hold on to UNTIL something better comes along.... So Sad...

RIP Bobby Vee, amazing artist.
Bobby Vee filled in for Buddy Holly right after the plane crash. I love THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES and RUN TO HIM by Bobby Vee.
This is another of the teenage idols from the 60's. He was a singer, songwriter & musician & had a lot of hits such as "Devil Or Angel", "Rubber Ball", "Run To Him", "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes", "Come Back When You Grow Up" etc.
I would love to hear your reaction to Bobby Vee's "Run to Him" please. Love you guys...sweet couple!
Love Bobby Vee!!! So Many Great Songs!!! One Of My Favorites Of His Is “Run To Him”
Mel and Shawn…so true…you two are the only and best doing the oldies. My husband is 79 and I am 73 and you bring so much joy to us by watching your reactions to the music we loved as teenagers. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
As a teenager, I played this 45 record over and over. I still love this song! Bobby Vee was so darn cute too! Great reaction, Shawn and Mel!
He just dropped into a local dancehall, along with the guy that had the hit Raindrops, and they sang a few songs and left.
Another Goffin and King hit written for another artist. Bobby Vee did this song proud.
Bobby Vee was always one of my favorite pop singers of the 1960s. In 1975 I was with my brother-in-law in a nightclub where Bobby was headlining.

Rubber Ball is one of Bobby's best songs.
YES, hope they react to Rubber Ball (he is so much in the style of Buddy Holly, wow)
Don’t you just love the stories the old songs told. So much fun!
You both seem to be filled with joy to be hearing & discovering the music of the earlier years of rock and roll and it feels so good to see that.
I Love This Song 💞💖
Bobby was a true gentleman all his life.
one of my favorite bobby vee songs went to # 1

4:31 that was a picture of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, who wrote "Take Good Care of My Baby" among many others.
You may be right Shawn, don't know of anyone else bringing back the music of the late 50's early 60's. Cheers and loves to you both.
This world I want it. All the people looking at all the people and just seeing People. Without differences. ALL of us are special persons.
Loved him and this song!
I love these oldies music ❤
I Love Bobby Vee's Music 🎶🎵💛💖

I saw Bobby in a Lounge show in Vegas in 1968. He was so smooth.....he handed me a red rose. I melted....❤
Takes me back to kiddie days. Always like his stuff.
Always loved this song. I inherited all of my older sisters and mothers 45’s when I was young so I had a lot of oldies and this was one of them! Great hearing it again!
Come back when you grow up girl and the night has a thousand eyes ! 2 of his best
Need to react to Johnny Tillotson -"Earth Angel", "It Keeps Right on a Hurtin'", "Poetry in Motion".
I second that request love those 2!
You two are so fun!
YES YES Bobby Vee This was one of the first records I bought. A friend and I just about wore out his 'Greatest Hits' album at sleep-overs. Good memories. Next, try 'Run To Him'.

Loved Bobby Vee in my teens.
Miss the Dick Clark Show.
The 60s and especially the 50s were the Time Before Music. Hope you get back soon.
I'm a Dj here in Ohio and I grew up on these song's love them all
You guys are the best. And you are the only ones doing this music.
Beautiful Song 💙
Bobby Vee and Bobby Rydell. Play great teen idols.
Should do lightning striking again by Lou Christie
Venus by Frankie Avalon
Breaking up is hard to do by Neil Sedaka
Love it ❤
Whether or not you are the only ones reacting to these old songs or not. Without question you are the best. Love your enthusiasm.
Bobby was one of the biggest Artists of the early pre Beatles era!
You really are among the few watching these old videos and hearing these old songs. I love that you're listening to these golden oldies! I'd like to suggest that you listen to Those Magic Changes by Johnny Contardo. He's a member of the group Sha-na-na and an amazing vocalist!

Yes! thank you, this is so much fun. One of the great ones. Please don't ask about Barbara, Run to him,
The night has a thousand eyes are a few more from Bobby.
“Run to Him” ❤️❤️❤️
Rubber Ball & Night has a thousand eyes are great songs by him, pretty sure there's at least a few others..
Devil or angel.. Was another
Hi Guys you are the only ones doing this music. Great reactions and it appears that you two are on a wonderful journey and I'm so excited for you. Again, keep it up.
Bobby Vee and Bobby Rydell were so big back in the day and no one plays them. Also the Dovells and Dion and The Belmonts.
Thx! I have felt that sentiment, but probably said “you can have her!” I know, I’m a mess!
This is why we say the oldies for the best Bobby was one of the best
Thank you Shawn and Mel for doing these songs
As a kid in the 60's (I'm 67 years old now) this is my all-time 60's song. Bobby was influenced by the great Buddy Holly.
Thanks so much for going down this "oldies" path 🎶🎵
Love it. Great reaction.
A lot of people thought he was Bobby Vinton..Both greats!!
Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Many of their songs were about loss or insecurity. Their first major hit Will You Love me Tomorrow was written when Carole was 17 and Gerry was 21. Take Good Care of my Baby was released when Carole was 19 and Gerry was 23.
They divorced in 1968. Gerry wasn’t a faithful husband and he has a child with one of the singers they wrote for. This gives their songs an entirely different and much sadder meanings. Happy songs with sad lyrics !
Bobby had a guy in his band named Robert Zimmerman who later started calling himself Bob Dylan and wrote a few songs.
Kisses Sweeter Than Wine by Jimmie Rodgers, Probably from late 50's, a little story telling
For the late 50's to early 60's you guys are it. Try Chad and Jeremy's Summer Song.
My deceased aunt sang this before days she died... fly high tita i will miss you 😭😭😭❤❤🕊🕊
I like your channel ... When I was 15, My favorite B.V. song was " Sharing You" His top songs always bring back Happy memories.
That kind of nobility is rare.
really liked this one when it was released. Bobby had some great hits. you guys are great and on of the few reactors to these oldies so I really want to thank you....Another old fav of mine was "Pat Boone - Moody River " great song with a story.
When Buddy Holly's plane crashed on the way to a performance, they needed someone to take his place, that was Bobby Vee. He was sixteen years old.
Sealed with a kiss is another good song from bobby vee.
That was Brian Hyland
Thank you 🙏 great 👍 recovery ❤reaction ☝️👏👏👏👋
Bobby Vee's career got started when he filled in for Buddy Holly right after that fatal plane crash. He had a seat on that same plane but changed his mind about flying that day.
Wow really i didnt know that in labamba
Shawn Mel have a listen to Billy Fury I'd Never Find Another You and Half Way To Paradise another artist from the 1960's you will love
To SHAUN & MEL:YES!!

Now try "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Bobby Vee.
Bobby v got his start the day the music died he was one of the performers who had to perform the next night it was an open call for anyone with after the airplane crashed with Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens and the Big bopper
Please, O'PLEASE, WILL YOU REACT TO Bobby Vinton's best song ever::
(ROSE'S ARE RED!!) 🌹🌹🌹
Play Bobby Rydell also. The Dovells and The Bristol Stomp.
You should react to Johnny Tillotson, “It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin”
He was a doll!
bBob Dylan and he remained friends for life.
early 60's, written by Carol King & Gerry Goffin( I think).
Gorgeous, Quintessential 1960s Pop music. Bobby Vee Made so many great records that you Guys should get the "Greatest Hits" album (a double) and work your way through it. If you decide to react to another BV track Please make it "The Night Has A Thousand yes".
Another of the great teeny-bopper songs.
His song “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes” is a great that gets little play sadly.
give a listen to Gene Pitney's "Only Love Can Break A Heart"
Gene Pitney and Bobby Vee were both great vocalists in that era.
Yes you're doing a deeper dive into this era of rock and roll music. I believe your viewers love it.
Please react to Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton
You guys need to react to Bobby Rydell. He is one of the very best singers of the teen idols back in the early '60s here's a couple of links to songs by him - "Volare" th-cam.com/video/u5bBcepwgsw/w-d-xo.html "Forget Him" th-cam.com/video/U4SLyEudz2w/w-d-xo.html

Sad footnote, RIP Bobby Vee,
Awesome Video Shawn And Mel 🙂
Rubber ball by Bobby Vee was composed by Gene Pitney.
Yes! very nice. Maybe you'd like to react to Rubber Ball by Bobby Vee and Maybe Baby by Buddy Holly. Same style. lol Thanks!
#ShawnandMel ... This song and it's message is sadly an expression of something that is still going on...

If/since you liked this, you'd probably also find Johnny Tillotson's "Poetry in Motion" enjoyable.
