Bobby Vinton is an American pop music singer of Polish origins. Vinton is the only child of a locally popular bandleader, Stan Vinton. At 16, Vinton formed his first band, which played clubs around the Pittsburgh area. With the money he earned, he helped finance his college education at Duquesne University, where he studied music and graduated with a degree in musical composition. While at Duquesne, he became proficient on all of the instruments in the band: piano, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, drums and oboe. Vinton's birthplace of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of Perry Como. His hometown named two streets, Bobby Vinton Boulevard and the shorter adjoining Bobby Vinton Drive, in his honor. Canonsburg town fathers had plans to erect a statue in his honor, but Vinton vetoed the idea noting that the $100,000 planned cost could go to far more important town needs. 16 Most Requested Songs is a collection of 16 Top 40 hits that Bobby Vinton had for Epic Records in the sixties.

The songs contained on this tape are from the original EMI recordings and will certainly be a big surprise for Beatles' fans. This tape, which contains a previously unreleased song shows us the "WONDER MAGIC" present during the years when the Beatles were recording. The songs were initially written for the movie the "Yellow Submarine" but was later dropped from the movie as well as this century's greatest album, "Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". It is amazing how this 1967 song has remained in its original condition! Few people have ever heard this song over the last 25 years. Yes, this is the same sound heard 25 years ago. 01 - All You Need Is Love 02 - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 03 - Good Morning, Good Morning (Animals) 04 - Intro To Sgt. Peppers (Applause) 05 - Yellow Submarine 06 - It's All Too Much (Uncut Version) 07 - All Together Now 08 - Only A Nothan Song LINK
