by Bobby Vee

This two-fer from Brill Building teen idol Bobby Vee includes 1962's Golden Greats and 1966's Golden Greats, Vol. 2, both of which provide a nice summary of the Buddy Holly-influenced artist's mercurial '60s period.

Jingle Bell Rock: An Oldies Rock and Roll Christmas (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Not exactly what comes to mind when you think of Christmas music, the songs on Jingle Bell Rock are more fun than they are traditional. You won't find Nat "King" Cole here but rather oldies legends like the Beach Boys, Ricky Nelson, Bobby Vee, and Fats Domino. These early rockers bring plenty of exuberance and nostalgia to some of the better-known ...

Take Good Care of My Baby (1961) more music like this

by Bobby Vee

Bobby Vee is rarely counted among the premier vocalists of the Brill Building era, but in truth he made some very memorable if hopelessly slight pop records, marshaling the enormous talents of the composing team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King to ring up a series of hits in the months prior to the explosion of Beatlemania. Of the 22 tracks ...

As far as the music of early teen idol Bobby Vee goes, owning anything but a greatest-hits package would seem inconceivable to all but the fanatical. However, like most singers who came up in an era known primarily for singles (albums were expensive and stuffed with easily forgotten filler), occasionally a few hidden gems tucked away on those ...

Rock 'n' Roll Christmas Classics is a fun collection of campy, fun classic rock songs about the holidays. Where most collections of these types try and include famous artists, this actually not only does not feature any truly famous musicians, but it does not even credit the musicians that it does feature.
