Bobby Rydell was one of those seemingly never ending succession of singers named Bobby (others include Bobbies Vee and Darin) who materialised out of the US at the back end of the 1950s into the 1960s.) I think it’s fair to say his style was that of the popular entertainer.

Sadly he died last week.

I chose to feature this one of his songs because it was one of my elder brother’s records and so familiar to me from my youth. Also because I quite like the Latin style swing it has. It was written as ¿Quién será? by Mexican composers Luis Demetrio and Pablo Beltrán Ruiz.

Bobby Rydell: Sway

Roberto Louis (Bobby) Ridarelli: 26/4/1942 – 5/4/2022. So it goes.
