I first heard Volare when I was a child, while sitting next to my father in his hospital room. My father looked out the window, smiled and flew to the stars with Bobby Rydell. I will be grateful to him forever for freeing my father’s heart and soul from that hospital bed.

God bless the soul of the late great masterpiece/masterclass of a singer/songwriter, world class entertainer, and a man amongst men! Bobby Rydell! Rest in glory forever!

RIP Bobby Rydell (April 26, 1942 - April 5, 2022), aged 79 You will be remembered as a legend.

RIP BOBBY, THANKS FOR SO MANY GREAT SONGS, YOU WILL BE MISSED

Great song, great era. You will be missed, Bobby Rydell.

"Thank you, BOBBY RYDELL for doing your part to help tame mankind with your music, gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family."

Rest peacefully Bobby. Your songs always bring back memories of growing up in Philly and spending the summers in Wildwood. 🌹☮

I'm 73 and have seen a lot of acts, but seeing Bobby Rydell sing Volare on the Malt Shop Memories cruise in 2010 was a highlight!

We lost the late and great Bobby Rydell today in Philadelphia this was one of his best songs me the Masterblaster play all of his music on my internet radio show Classic Soul RIP.

Bobby Rydell is the best perhaps but you'll never go anywhere in this world without good timing

Bobby Rydell was one of those singers I really liked to hear in those days. He had a good voice and a nice personality as far as I could appreciate as I never was near him. And I remember I liked very much his version of this Italian song.

So true. Nobody sung Volare like Bobby. Rest in life, Bobby

What a voice he had. R.I.P.

Of all the early singers of this song, Bobby Rydell was the best!

Bobby made me so happy !!! He was my joy as a child, and still is. He has the best smile when he sings!

Not old enough to remember it live born in 1960 but definitely a mainstay growing up. Such simple times. How great.

I was 12 watching this on the Beechnut Show, screaming in my living room, oh yessss. Thanks, Mr. Rydell.

he’s so cheerful and enthusiastic! love this version!!!!

I m adding another comment learning about his death. I'm heartbroken. He was my heartthrob. Loved him. He was one of the greatest singers ever!!!. Such an entertainer and always smiling!. But now I'm not smiling. I'm in tears. All the philly guys were great. Wish those days were back. RIP BOBBY. Y R GONE BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. LOVE U ALWAYS. .😢😢😥😥🥺😞🙏🙏🙏⚘🌷💔

RIP Mr Rydell you will always be a Legend....

My mum was Italian this song reminds me of her!

This song will lift your spirits!

Words cannot express how much I loved this time and these songs. Almost makes me cry. Ok, not almost. It does.

RIP PISANNE! You were such a STAR ! ANOTHER ITALIAN with a great voice and style ! Sure going to miss you ! 💙🇮🇹🙏

Came across this video. What a talent Bobby Rydell was and what a fantastic song. I was a little tyke and remember my mother singing and dancing to this song on the radio.

Bobby Rydell . R.I.P. Volare my all time favourite song. You are sorely missed

RIP Bobby thank you for giving us your great music 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

The one and only for sure. My all time favorite entertainer, and song. Love "VOLARE" ❤

When I was two or three years old in the late 50s, I was told because I don’t really remember that I used to sing the song I’m 66 years old now it’s still a great song🎉🎉🎉

Bobby does the best version of this song. Only a little guy but he can sure belt out a song. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a few years ago. He put on a great show not only with his singing but sharing some of his stories from the past and telling jokes. His got a great sense of humor. I got his autograph and spoke to him briefly after the show. A really nice guy.

What a Talent. He was FANTASTIC. LOVE YOU BOBBY. I have so much respect for you as a person as well. May God Bless you Richly.

My heart! WOW! His singing is like heaven! I so wish guys sounded like this today! He's sooooooooo handsome! 😍😍😍

Bobby Rydell, a real Fav of mine beginning in grade school to jr high..🥰 That adorable Smile & real cool pompadour & of course his “Magnificent Voice”!❤️🎤RIP BR (one of the boys of summer 🎼) Thanks for the wonderful songs!🌈💔🌹🕊🎵📻🌟📺

Remembering Bobby Rydell born on April 26, 1942. He was an American singer and actor who mainly performed rock and roll and traditional pop music. In the early 1960s he was considered a teen idol. His most well-known songs include "Wildwood Days," "Wild One" and "Volare" (cover of an Italian song by Domenico Modugno); in 1963 he appeared in the musical film Bye Bye Birdie. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Rydell

This is one fabulous piece of video showing the great Bobby Rydell. His excellence will live on in his recordings. Thanks, Bobby!!

Classy talented guy

Bobby Rydell! One of my favorite singers of all time! He was talented- singer, dancer, actor, musician. Extremely popular, good looking, charisma, the total package!

That was a great way to start the show with Bobby. The girls in the audience looks thrilled.

R.I.P. BOBBY RYDELL You were a great singer, and a good actor too in those 60s movies. I also loved his song Kissin Time which made so many people feel happy. 💐💔🙏

I knew about Bobby from his music, I was born in the 21st century, so I wasn’t that familiar with him, 10 minuets ago I ended my conversation with him, I met him at a restaurant in philly. Truly a wonderful conversation we all had. Such a great man! cya soon Bobby!

"The Dick Clark Beechnut Show" was originally done from ABC's Little Theatre on 44th St & Broadway (since renamed the Helen Hayes Theatre). For this episode, it was live from 7 W 66th St, which was ABC Television Center Studio 1. ABC's Gil Hodges (not to be confused with the similarly-named Dodgers 1B who later managed the 1969 champion Mets) was the show's announcer.

This song/video arrested me as It took me back to the moment, ah yes, THE MOMENT,.............55 years ago to be precise. When I heard it again, it did things to me, it caught me cold in my tracks !!!!!! So I listened to it a dozen times , or more. The rest you can figure out. Thanks and great great video , and Bobby, keep singing it !!!!

I love this video!!!!. I LOVE BOBBY. he was one of my heartthrobs. He was such an entertainer. He could anything. Wish that whole Philly group was still singing. It was such a great time in my life. Memories will always will be with me forever. Thks first this video. Miss all these great songs and artists. Bobby was such a showman. !!. Love ya Bob. .🥰🥰🥰🥰😇👏👏👏👏👏💝💝💝🌷🌷🌷

Just as great today like fine wine he aged very well!

Rip Bobby Rydell, Thank you for the music.

I was 7 months old when this was recorded. I`ve always thought I was born 15 years too late. Love the music from this era. What I wouldn`t give to have been in the studio audience for this recording. Hope you`re well Bobby. Love you. xxx

Merci pour ce partage en live Bobby est super en forme et très apprécié Rappelons qu'en 1960 il n'a que 18 ans Magnifique voix RIP Bobby Rydell

WHAT A GREAT SINGER AND PERFORMER RIP

It's the female back up group that makes this song and others he recorded great. Those of us who were teens back then don't know how good we had it. Watching Bandstand back in the day, it seems Dick Clark promoted Fabian, Bobby Rydell, and Frankie Avalon. They appeared often on the show, but then it was from Philly in those days, so, yeah, natural.

What is amazing about this arrangement is that you would never think the original -Nel Blu etc, could be equaled, understanding it could never be topped. Great job, whoever put this together in the studio. And Bobby was the perfect singer for this material.

God bless you, Bobby ! Your were a touch stone in my life ! I am weeping yet so glad you shared yourself with us !

Rest easy Bobby Rydell, never be forgotten.

If your feeling sad or down play this song!

Still have the 45 single of Volare by Bobby with Wild One on the flip side ..GREAT stuff and what FANTASTIC voice Bobby had .

This is one of the best versions of the song Volare sung by Bobby Rydell and what I loved about it were the back up singer's that made this song different from all the other's.

Everyone that I know of who saw Bobby live fell in love with him and I was certainly one of them.

I missed so much. This is so fantastic.

Bobby Rydell, the epitome of the early ‘60s “teen idol,” who parlayed that fame into a starring role opposite Ann-Margret in the 1963 film “Bye Bye Birdie,” died Tuesday April 5, 2022 at age 79. The cause of death was pneumonia. His death just days away from his 80th birthday (April 26, 2022) was confirmed by radio legend Jerry Blavat, Rydell’s longtime friend from the singer’s South Philadelphia stomping grounds. Bobby Rydell had 34 singles chart on the Billboard Hot 100, the most well-remembered of which include “Wild One,” which reached No. 2, and “Volare,” a No. 4 hit. Other top 10 songs included “Swingin’ School,” “The Cha-Cha-Cha.” His run of top 10 songs began with “We Got Love,” which reached No. 6 in 1959, and ended with “Forget Him” in 1964.

Rydell was pure MAGIC !!! It's not a wonder he was the youngest artist ever to play the Copa Cabana. Talk about commanding an audience. Damn.

What a powerhouse of talent, how one person could contain so much talent amazes me. Love this song and also the clip from the Danny Thomas show where he is a singing waiter. Would really like to have known him personally, seemed like he would have been a great friend.

THIS was the music I grew up to. These were the singers-------it is so innocent compared to today. I feel so badly for the teens of today, terrified to go to school, raised with drugs, hate, guns, & an uncertainty if there will even be a USA we know & love. -----------mJL, 75 y/o

At 4 years old while watching Dad installing trailer hitch on 56 Chevy, Volare playing on the Radio . PB 69 yrs.

I have loved him since the 60s! He passed away today....😥

This record and this video is just great! Thank you!

RIP Bobby!!! I was 10 y/o when this song came out & have loved it ever since.

I remember watching this. Brought tears 😢 I loved Bobby. RIP BOBBY U WERE TE BEST.

How awesome is this? Bring this stuff back please!! The dress clothes are awesome also !! No f - in tatoos!! How refreshing!!!

Another skinny Italian kid : Roberto Ridarelli, But could he sing! I LOVED this song!! ------Wolfsky9, 70 y/o

Bobby Rydell was a huge talent. Not only was he a great singer, he could dance and act as we saw in the movie Bye Bye Birdie. Actually, I read that his dancing in Bye Bye Birdie was as good as the professional dancers in the dance scenes.

Another song that was simply impossible to dislike. EVERYONE loved this upbeat rendition, & like " Beyond The Sea", it put a smile on your face, every time! ---Wolfsky9

iF i ABSOLUTELY HAD TO NAME ONE SONG-------JUST ONE -------FROM '60, AS MY FAVORITE, WITH SO MANY GREAT ONES TO CHOOSE FROM --------IT'S STILL THE LATE ROBERTO LUIGI RIDARELLI , AKA, BOBBY RYDELL, SINGING : " VOLARE " -------RIP, BOBBY, YOUR MUSIC IS 4-EVER. -------------------MJL, 76 Y/O

R.I.P Bobby Rydell and Dick Clark😞🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🎸🎶

Noone can sing this song like bobby rydell wow

The video made me remember those days when the ties were about one inch wide! I had some of these ties and I still keep a couple of them as mementos of that era.

One of the best songs of all time!

JUST GOT THE VERY SAD NEWS -------------BOBBY RYDELL-------------ROBERTO RIDARELLI------------YOU WERE A GOOD GUY, & ONE OF THE VERY BEST, OF MY YOUTH. RIP, BROTHER. --------------------MJL, 75 Y/O

Bobby Rydell didn't just steal the show, he was the show

Robert Ridarelli was just a kid from an Italian neighborhood in Philadelphia who became acclaimed around the world. I was 12 when all his songs were hitting. Thank you Bobby. You were simply the best.

OMG.SOUTH PHILLY.We turned out a lot of Talent-South Philly proud!!!!!----

RIP Bobby.

This is the music that I grew up with take me back to the Jersey shore

What a voice! No one could sing this song like the immortal Bobby R! RIP, we will always remember you.

RIP Bobby!

Rest In Peace one of the best of his generation of singers.....................correction any generation.

Rydell was the greatest of the Italian American singers!

GREAT ENTERTAINER!!!!!

nice clip thanks for sharing

RIP Bobby. I'll never forget your concert and meeting you. Thank you for all your wonderful music.

Bobby Rydells female backup singers deserve a whole lot more credit than they have ever gotten That hair . Wow . All the guys back then wanted to look like Bobby He was the King of Kool until 1964

Everyone surely will miss Bobby Rydell + that era Everyone always loved Sinatra but then they didn't see how great all the great dance songs we as teens loved You're never to be forgotten + forget a lot of the lousy music + songs the younger generation loves Rest in Peace Bobby Wish those great days + style were again And if the next generation doesn't follow in your footsteps then they're not talented at all

I really love his version

My favorite B.R. song!

It’s April 26. Happy birthday to Bobby!

Rest in paradise bro! You will be missed! 🎼
