I’m a child of boomers and I grew up listening to tunes of the fifties and sixties. Also, my mom knew many of these performers.
Rydell’s favorite among his own songs, I am told, was “I’ll Never Dance Again.”
He did have a marvelous voice, sweet and gentle one moment, deep and thunderous the next.
Who did your mom know? Jimmy Clanton was my "teen idol." He's still as cute as ever. Did she know him?
