October 24, 2016 –
The singer Bobby Vee died age 73 on this date. Vee was best know for his No. 1 hit Take Good Care of My Baby in the summer of 1961. He had 38 chart hits, ten of which reached the Top 20.
Unfortunately Vee’s career began in the midst of tragedy.
On February 3, 1959 – The Day the Music Died – when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, were killed in an airplane. Vee then 15 years old, and a hastily assembled band of Fargo schoolboys calling themselves the Shadows volunteered for and were given the unenviable job of filling in for Holly and his band at their next gig. Their performance was a success, setting in motion a chain of events that led to Vee’s career as a popular singer.
