"What Color (Is A Man)" #38 10/16/1965

More social commentary in song, this time from Bobby Vinton. He was one of the first non-country music performers to headline in Branson, Missouri. The theory behind opening a theater in Branson was why beat your brains out going on the road constantly, when the fans could come to you?

Don't you wish he recorded more songs of this ilk?
Sure, his "romantic pop" fare was charismatic in and of itself---as well as a ideal "trademark" style.
But, still, he does such a great job with this "topical" song format, and his delivery is quite effective to boot.
