 | | Bobby calls his tunes "teen love longs," memory-makers such as "Devil or Angel," "One last Kiss," or "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." These are only three of the 38 chart toppers that made Bobby a teen heartthrob for a decade. | | | That's how the musical year goes for Bobby and the Vees: a state fair here, a reunion there, a festival of rock and rollers over there. | | | After 45 years, Bobby Vee still sings to enthusiastic audiences. |

| | Anka, Paul |
| | His formal music studies were brief: piano with Winnifred Rees and theory with Frederick Karam (in whose St Elijah Syrian Orthodox Church choir he sang). | | | During this period his songs also were recorded by Annette, Connie Francis, Johnny Nash, Patti Page, Bobby Rydell, and others. | | | Anka, who took small roles in Hollywood films in the early 1960s (eg, The Longest Day), saw his singing career wane in the mid-1960s, the result of the change in popular tastes coinciding with the rise of the Beatles. |

| | Before he became the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra was the idol of the bobby soxers. | | | In popular music terms he was among the first so-called 'superstars', based on a great voice and smooth good looks. | | | Reflecting on that day -- Sinatra said there was a lot of loneliness about because so many men were at the war and he never let it get 'under his skin'. |

| | Bobby Vee went on to national success after Soma Records, one of Minneapolis’ earliest and most successful local labels, and sold his contract to Liberty Records. | | | And not even the proto-everything, hyper-eclectic pre-First Wave scene that began in the late ’30s with big band, country, swing, and polka mutating into bobby soxers, crooners, jazz, blues, folk and finally rock ’n’ roll. | | | They got lucky with Bobby Vee, but they weren’t interested in long-term development. |

| | Of late this young Red punk has been touring the country swooning bobby soxers with his baritone voice while he tells their parents how to vote. | | | In San Francisco on March 23, 1946, fifty-six adolescent Sinatra fans were taken into custody by police as they stood shivering in a waiting line in front of the Golden Gate Theater at 4:30 in the morning, six hours before the "voice" was scheduled to appear. | | | His bold promotion of "bobby sexism" has added to the great waves of juvenile delinquency in America. |

| | A few of Miller's civilian band arrangements were extended for live performances and radio broadcasts, allowing ample time for solos; but all of the band’s songs and solos were severely limited by the three-to-four minute constraints of 10-inch, 78 records. | | | Nevertheless, one of the best improvisations ever is Bobby Hackett’s cornet solo on the civilian band's recording of A String of Pearls. | | | And, some of the band's up-tempo numbers, such as In the Mood and A String of Pearls, were battle cries for a generation of bobby soxers. |

| | His vast appeal to the "bobby soxers", as teenagers were called, revealed a whole new audience for popular music, which had generally appealed mainly to adults up to that time. | | | After a brief stint with James, he joined the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1940 where he rose to fame as a singer. |

| | He shed this image, however, in the mid-50's, after rock and roll became popular among the bobby soxers, for fear that people would confuse his music with the stuff of Dick Clark. | | | He lived the rest of his life staying true to the blues. | | | In the mid-40's, a teenage Roy Brown, then a crooner in the Bing Crosby mold, watched Harris perform once and said to himself, as quoted later, "If I ever start singing the blues, that's exactly how I want to do it." Harris' overtly erotic stance was something he carefully cultivated to draw the distaff crowd. |

| | They gained widespread fame in 1943 when national media equated them with teenage girls, especially screaming fans of Frank Sinatra, and claimed that ordinary ankle socks instantly became bobby sox when teenagers bought them. | | | Newsweek initially defined "bobby soxers" as female juvenile delinquents with loose morals, but the prevailing stereotype declared them silly, uncontrolled swooners who loved to gab on the phone and buy the latest records and fashions. | | | Bobby socks (or bobby sox) are ankle-length socks, usually cotton, worn since the 1930s by children, teens, and adult women. |
