Who would have known that within a year he would go from playing in his basement band “Bobby and the Bobcats” to recording his first hit single “Hand In Hand With You”.
With hits like ‘Fortune Teller, Alladin, Three Rows Over, Corinna, Corinna, Little Girl Blue, Don’t You Sweetheart Me, Destination Love, Hand in Hand,” and holds the record of over 25 Gold Records, being the first certify gold in Canada with Fortune Teller.
