Philadelphia and music legend Bobby Rydell has died. The former teen idol is probably best-known in the area for the song “Wildwood Days,” but he had so many hits — “Volare,” “Wild One” and so many others. …
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.
