"Tell Me Why" (Bobby Vinton) #13 6/20/1964 Bonus

Not to be confused with the similarly titled Beatles song. Originally a hit for the Four Aces in 1951, Bobby Vinton's version from June of 1964 also did very well. He started out as a bandleader around the Pittsburgh area, following in his dad's footsteps. Bobby would purposely double-book himself, starting out the night with his big band and then leaving for a later gig as a solo singer while the guys played on. As long as they all got paid, I guess it worked itself out.
