Interestingly, a Jazz Age icon helped to propel Bobby Rydell to toward stardom in the rock era. Paul Whiteman, the King of Jazz in the 1920's, featured Rydell on a TV show that he hosted, and his career took off.

My favorite Bobby Rydell song is Good Time Baby (1961), a hit at the close of the Eisenhower presidency.

He kinda jumped the shark when he did Bye Bye Birdie. But a great singer.
