[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 2562294, member: 1246"] Jan. 4, 1964 Sitting atop the [I]Billboard [/I]charts in the first week of January, 1964, Bobby Vinton—”the Polish Prince”—was enjoying the ninth top-40 hit of his young career with “There! I’ve Said Again.” Not only was this the third #1 single for Vinton in a span of just 18 months, but it was the second (after “Blue Velvet”) with a song that was older than many of his fans. Almost 10 years into what we now call “the rock and roll era,” Bobby Vinton was making records that owed far more to Perry Como than they did to Elvis Presley, and he was absolutely thriving commercially. He had little reason to suspect that a revolution was in the offing. [/QUOTE]
