Bobby Rydell is an American entertainment legend
With a musical career now spanning eight decades including thirty four, Billboard Top 100 Hits and selling Twenty Five Million records, Bobby continues to perform with his life long pals Frankie Avalon and Fabian in The olden Boys Show (apologies the G fell off the page!)
Away from the music Bobby is an advocate for organ donation having been the recipient of a double organ transplant in 2012 when he received a Liver and Kidney.
Bobby talks about this and his debt of gratitude to the donor.
This was the culmination of years of alcohol abuse after the death of his first wife. Bobby opens up to Scary and Gary about his struggles and his love for his wife Linda the light in his life and soon to be subject for his first ever tattoo!
Of course you can't have a music legend on a podcast without a few stories.
A few names get mentioned, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Joe DiMaggio, The Everley Brothers, Ann Margaret, Dick Van Dyke, Cliff Richard and even the Royal Family.
You won't Forget Him.
