Flashback Friday: Blue Velvet

 




The most successful recording of the romantic ballad, "Blue Velvet" was recorded
this last week of May in 1963 by handsome American teen idol Bobby Vinton.

The song was released a few months later in August, 1963.  Backed by Burt Bacharach
and his orchestra, Vinton's version reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts on
September 21st of that year and remained at Number 1 for the subsequent two weeks.
