My Take
Bobby Vee is one of those early-1960s teen idols I always find a little bittersweet to read about. Thirty-eight Hot 100 hits and six gold singles out of Fargo, North Dakota is no small feat, and there's a famous bit of rock history here too, since a young Robert Zimmerman, later Bob Dylan, briefly played in his band. To me he represents that polished pre-Beatles pop moment that gets overshadowed by what came after, but the chart numbers don't lie. I appreciate that he kept performing for decades. A wholesome, durable career that deserves more credit than nostalgia usually gives it.
