BOBBY VEE (ROBERT VELLINE) BEGAN HIS CAREER AT THE AGE OF 15 SINGING IN HIS BROTHER BILL VELLINE’S BAND IN 1958. THE BAND GIGGED IN AROUND FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA BUILDING UP A STRONG FOLLOWING PLAYING ROCK’N’ROLL HITS OF THE DAY.

BOBBY’S BIG BREAK CAME ABOUT FOLLOWING THE TRAGIC DEATH OF BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER AND RITCHIE VALENS IN A PLANE CRASH ON FEB. 3, 1959. THE BAND WAS CALLED UPON TO FILL IN AT THE MOORHEAD ARMORY IN MOORHEAD, MINNESOTA WHICH WAS NEXT STOP FOR THE ILL FATED WINTER-DANCE PARTY TOUR. THE BAND HAD NO NAME AND BOBBY SIMPLY CAME UP WITH THE NAME THE SHADOWS WHEN THE MC ASKED THE BAND’S NAME. IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THE SHADOWS TO TIGHTEN THEIR ACT AND THEY SOON HEADED INTO THE RECORDING STUDIO TO PUT DOWN THEIR FIRST TRACKS “SUZIE BABY” B/W “FLYIN HIGH”, A BILL VELLINE PENNED INSTRUMENTAL. THIS RECORD WAS CREDITED TO BOBBY VEE AND THE SHADOWS ON THE SOMA LABEL. THE RECORD HIT #1 IN MINNEAPOLIS AND NATIONAL INTEREST FOLLOWED. BOBBY AND THE SHADOWS WERE SIGNED TO LIBERTY RECORDS AND THE REST, AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY. GREAT POP/ROCK ****
