Sixties teen idol Bobby Rydell has undergone a liver and kidney transplant in Philadelphia.
The 70-year-old singer of hits including "Wild One" and "Volare" had surgery last week. He tells KYW-AM that his doctor didn’t expect him to live much longer without the double organ transplant.
Rydell says he now wants to help raise awareness about organ donation. He expects to be released from the hospital Wednesday.

Your agent called...
You have a gig Friday night...
Newbaum Turk’s rendition of “Volare” is far superior to Rydell’s.
Prayers being said.
Wow, I had absolutely no idea he was still alive. Seems he has been sick since I was in junior high at least. Prayers up!
You are a very sick man :-). I dare you to tell me who said "turk I am awll hot and bauthered" :-)..
With that said, Get well Mr. Rydell, many here on FR dig you old Rock and Rollers....

He was very good in the butchered movie version of the musical Bye Bye Birdie (which started stage production with the title “Going Steady”).
It's amazing how fast they can get you out of the hospital after major surgery these days.
It HAD to be Fran Drescher’s character. Sally?
I LOVE Bobby Rydell. I have an album of his I listen to all the time.
My fave. The girls in back are a little strong, but I love this song.
