This is a very good collection of his best songs, but I wonder why Volare was not included. The sound quality is decent, but not up to other collections CDs taken from better masters.

Sorry, but this CD lacks too many hits to be called BOBBY'S BIGGEST HITS. Could it be called such when it does NOT contain one of his biggest hits: VOLARE? Among the other missing are THE CHA CHA CHA,GEE IT'S WONDERFUL,THE DOOR TO PARADISE,THE BEST MAN CRIED,I'LL NEVER DANCE AGAIN and DON'T BE AFRAID(to fall in love). Also it would have been nice to have added JINGLE BELL ROCK when he and Chubby Checker teamed to recreate the 2nd time Christmas hit on this song. Anyway, maybe someone will do this collection right some day-until then...............

I grew up with my older sister playing this guy's 45's on her "changer." My brother, Randy, and I used to plan storming her room and destroying all Bobby Rydell, Lou Christie (among others) records. We never did and now that it is almost 50 years ago that this guy and his music was popular, I am totally a fan. He defined music in a very difficult stage of American culture. And when you factor in his self effacing portrayal of the lovely Ann Margaret's boyfriend in Bye, Bye, Birdie, maybe he rates in there with the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, hot rods and babes on the beach. OK, maybe that's a stretch, but he was the most talented of that era, along with Lou Christie and of course Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. (O.K., Frankie Valli was never on the "destroy" list.)

Hi, never done one of these before but this cd is fantastic. I have been a Bobby Rydell fan for more years than I want to say. Some of the songs are just out of this world. He is one of a kind. And he really lets it out and puts all he has in his songs. Buy this cd and you won't be sorry. Enjoy....

Bobby Rydell was one of the better voices from that stable of Philadelphia pop stars in the late '50's - early '60's. Especially catchy is his rendition of the old standard "Sway", of course along with his more popular hits of that day, that appealed to many teens of the era...
