BOBBY VINTON - Mr Lonely

Stanley Robert Vinton (born April 16, 1935) is an American singer and actor, who hosted his own self-titled TV show in the late 1970s. As a teen idol, he became known as "The Polish Prince", as his music paid tribute to his Polish heritage. One of his most popular songs is "Blue Velvet" (a cover of the 1951 song recorded by Tony Bennett) which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, No. 1 in Canada (5 weeks), and number 2 in the UK in 1990.
He served in the military for a short time in the late 1950s and played the trumpet while in the military. When he was in the military in Japan, he got the idea for his song "Mr. Lonely." Vinton got married on December 17, 1962, to Dolly Dobbin and later had five children with her: three daughters and two sons.
