“可以这么说，他们以某种形式帮了我，因为他们把我所有的竞争对手都轰跑了。美国再也没有男歌手了，我能幸运地呆住，是因为我奉献了些好歌曲。”
这里的“他们”指的就是当时红透半边天的Beatles，而说这番话的正是当年不逊于猫王的传奇歌手---鲍比·温顿（Bobby Vinton)。
Bobby Vinton生于1935年4月。在他成为一名歌手之前，他一直希望做一个大型乐队的指挥。然而命运并未安排他成为乐队的领导或指挥，却让他走红歌坛。音色纯美的他在1962年凭借歌曲《红红的玫瑰—我的爱》（Roses Are Red）荣获Billboard排行榜榜首，一举成名。当时这首歌曲在背景里加入了若隐若现的钢琴，这种风格成了他三十多年歌坛生涯的定格，包括为《教父》在内的多部电影所唱的主题曲延续了他的名声。之后他的许多歌曲也都名列排列榜前列，如《Blue on Blue》、《Blue Velvet》等等。
在1962-1972年间Bobby Vinton比猫王、法兰克辛纳齐拥有更多的冠军单曲。“..Bobby Vinton是拥有最多冠军单曲的男歌手，连猫王与法兰克辛纳齐都没得比..”Billboard杂志如此推崇Bobby Vinton的成就，称赞他是“摇滚史上最成功的情歌圣手”，他那纯情、真诚、甜蜜的歌声，总是附着着一份随着时光流转而愈发显得香醇、隽永的情怀，每每营造着美妙的爱情感受，让人不禁想回到旧时光，亲自体验老式的浪漫。
Bobby Vinton最有名的两首歌一首是《Mr. Lonley》，这首描绘孤独的士兵思念家乡的伤感歌曲，成为了Bobby Vinton的标榜，后来被无数歌手翻唱（最近的一位是Akon^^）。另一首则是他翻唱的《Sealed with A Kiss》，一首经典的校园民谣。没有伤感，只有一种健康的心在跳动的感觉，他把恋人间的分离都唱得快乐、浪漫、骄傲。几乎让他之前、之后的歌者都不能从《Sealed with A Kiss》中找到自信。
鲍比·文顿有着一把青草嗓子，一种谁都可以模仿却学不像，他一直在民谣和爵士，民间和商业之间摇摆不定，但这一首校园民谣却使他名声大噪。有人怀疑，一个成年人所演唱的校园还会是真实的么？鲍比用他天生略带忧伤的声音回答了我们。回忆已经被回归所置换，在不确定的年龄身份之间扮演着双重的浪漫。无论是急缓不定的旋律后隐藏的纯真气质，还是嗓音所表露出的不死的热情，两种的歌唱都朝向了同一个方向。

"Mr. Lonely" is a song co-written and recorded by Bobby Vinton. The song originally appeared on Vinton's album Roses Are Red in 1962. Later that year, Buddy Greco recorded a version of the song using a very similar musical arrangement as Vinton's version. Greco's single release reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November, 1962. Vinton's recording was included on his Greatest Hits album in fall 1964 and concurrently issued as a single, reaching #1 on the Billboard chart in December of that year.
The song describes a soldier who is sent overseas and has no communication with his home; the singer laments his condition and wishes for someone to talk with. The single of Vinton's recording was released just as the Vietnam War was escalating, and since many soldiers and draftees were experiencing a very similar situation, the situation had a positive impact on the song's popularity.
Philippine singer Victor Wood made a bilingual version of the song, alternating the original lyrics with Filipino ones. This particular cover became popular in the Philippines and gave some fame to the entertainer.
In 2005, Senegalese singer Akon sampled this single for Lonely and it was featured on his album Trouble. This song uses a sped-up sample of the earlier song.

"Sealed with a Kiss" is the title of a song written by Peter Udell and Gary Geld. It was first recorded in 1960 by The Four Voices. While their version was released as a single, it failed to make a significant impact. In 1962, Brian Hyland, a frequent recorder of Udell's and Geld's material, released the song as a single. It became very popular, charting as high as # 3 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. It charted in the UK at # 7 when re-released in 1975. Hyland also recorded a version in German.
