Bobby has been a teen idol singing sensation, movie star, TV star and one of Frank Sinatra’s favorite singers.
These are NOT even the most interesting things about this star who has spanned multiple decades and generations – and continues to pack theaters around the nation.
Bobby has recently written a book, "Teen Idol on the Rocks" that not only tells the story of Bobby Rydell, but that of American pop culture through the past six decades. He writes of encounters with such 20th century show business giants as Sinatra, Ann-Margret, The Beatles, Red Skelton, Jack Benny and Dick Clark, whose Philly based American Bandstand helped make Rydell the world’s biggest teen idol in the years between Elvis Presley’s army induction and the advent of Beatlemania.
But "Teen Idol on the Rocks" is also is a very personal — and often-painful – story which delves into the darker and more dramatic aspects of Rydell’s life, including the death of his beloved first wife, Camille, his decades of alcohol abuse, and the last ditch liver and kidney transplant surgery that saved his life.
