Bobby Vee, who became a teenage idol in the early 1960s with such hits as "Take Good Care of My Baby," and "The Night Has A Dozen Eyes," passed away on Monday at Rogers, Minnesota from complications of Alzheimer's disease at age 73.
Mr. Vee's career got off to a fairytale start with his show-business baptism coming at age 15 when he was pressed to fill in for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. (The Big Bopper) Richardson lost their lives in a plane crash in Iowa in early 1959 en route to a concert in Morehead, Minnesota.
Bobby would score 38 singles in Billboard's Hot 100 chart from 1959 to 1970.
