Bobby Vinton’s 10 Biggest Hot 100 Hits as He Celebrates His 90th Birthday

Here’s an annotated list of Bobby Vinton’s biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits.

Vinton was born in Canonsburg, Pa., the same town that gave us Perry Como, who was a popular recording artist from the 1940s into the 1970s, and The Four Coins, which had a hit in 1957 with the rapturous “Shangri-La.” Vinton’s biggest hits also include songs written by legendary songwriters Barry Mann and Burt Bacharach& Hal David, as well as a few that he co-wrote himself. Vinton’s version was used to great effect in David Lynch’s 1986 film Blue Velvet, which also featured such other songs of the period as Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams.”
