Bobby Sherman initially started as a vocalist in 1962. He sang for Sal Mineo’s old band at a party and eventually got the opportunity to play a house singer in ABC’s show ‘Shindig!’, which ran from 1964 to 1966. In the mid-1960s, he also appeared in an episode of ‘Honey West’ in which he performed a song titled "The New Girl in School," co-written by Brian Wilson, Roger Christian, Bob Norberg and Jan Berry. His luck changed drastically in 1968 when he was cast in the role of a stammering, bashful logger named Jeremy Bolt in the drama series ‘Here Come the Brides’. The series became a hit and established him as an actor. In 1969, he released "Little Woman" with Metromedia Records. The single charted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually earned gold status by R.I.A.A. after selling over one million copies. From late 1960s to mid-1970s, the singer toured extensively worldwide in support of his records and albums. Some of his hit songs released during this period are "Hey, Mister Sun", "Cried like a Baby", and "Waiting at The Bus Stop," which reached #19, #10 and #31 in Canada respectively. He was a frequent guest on the TV shows ‘Where the Action Is’ and ‘American Bandstand.’ In 1971, he featured in an episode of ‘The Partridge Family’. He later had guest roles in several drama series including ‘The Mod Squad,’ ‘Murder She Wrote,’ ‘Ellery Queen,’ ‘Frasier,’ ‘The Ed Sullivan Show,’ ‘Good Day LA,’ ‘The Rosie O'Donnell Show,’ ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ and ‘Good Morning America,’ to name a few. In 1981, Sherman starred in the musical comedy movie ‘Get Crazy’. Five years later, he joined the cast of the sitcom ‘Sanchez of Bel Air.’ After a 25-year absence, he performed in "The Teen Idol Tour" in 1998 along with artists Davy Jones and Peter Noone. His last solo concert was in Rhode Island on August 25, 2001. (责任编辑:) |
