TRIVIA:

Attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA as a music performance major. Instrument: clarinet.
Kept his marriage to wife Dolly a secret for years. The record companies thought he would sell better if he was single. This is why, even to this very day, he has never worn his wedding ring.
He has three daughters and two sons: Robert, Kristin, Christopher, Jennifer (who later changed her name to Hannah) and Rebecca.
One of his sons, 'Robbie Vinton' (qv), plays him in the movie _Goodfellas (1990)_ (qv).
His song "There I've Said It Again" was the last song to hit #1 in the US before the "British Invasion".
His mother Dorothy also sings and dances in his act.
Credits his mother Dorothy for inspiring his writing his hit song "My Melody of Love" - with Polish words in the song. This hit record led the way for _"The Bobby Vinton Show" (1975)_ (qv) and for he and his family to be invited to the White House. Bobby was named as an Ambassador to Poland and traveled to Poland to perform.
Shares his hometown of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, with fellow singers 'Perry Como' (qv) and Joey Powers.
