| Take Good Care Of My Baby Bobby Vee & The Strangers Lyrics by: Carole King & Gerry Goffin Peak: Top 10 Year: 1961 Peaked: September 1961 My tears are fallin' cause you've taken her away..... And though it really hurts me so There's something that I've gotta say Take good care of my ba-a-a-by Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue Just tell her that you love her Make sure you're thinking of her In everything you say and do-o-o-o Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y Just let your love surround her Paint a rainbow all around her Don't let her see a cloudy sky Once upon a time that little girl was mine... If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you. So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e And if you should discover That you don't really love her Just send my baby back home.....to.....me. Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e And if you should discover That you don't really love her Just send my baby back home to me..... Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by |
| Bobby Vee was born Robert Thomas Velline in Fargo, North Dakota on April 30, 1943. Bobby's introduction into the music world began with the tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959, when Buddy Holly & his group the Crickets along with The Big Bopper and Richie Valens were killed in an Iowa cornfield..... The rest of the tour had arrived by bus from Clearlake after a cold and snowy all night drive. A decision was made to continue on with the show. The promoters asked for local talent to help fill in that sad night and as the curtain came up that evening, a new voice was introduced to the world. A "fifteen year old" voice that knew all the words to all the songs. Bobby Vee. Bobby Vee went on in music history to record such hits as "Devil or Angel", "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes", "Rubber Ball", "Susie Baby" and many more. Quick to smile and a likeable personality made Bobby one of the more memorable "Teen Idols" of the time. |
