Click HERE to see the Top 10 Thanks to Nicole Houseman for this information. Bobby was featured as part of a PBS pledge special called “That’s Amore! Italian-American Favorites in Music.” The special was a tribute to well-known singers/entertainers who were of Italian heritage or who sang songs that had that Italian feel, such as BD, Connie Francis, Perry Como, Julius La Rosa, and others. BD’s segment featured him singing “Mack the Knife. The show was hosted by Danny Aiello, who has an album coming out and who said during the show that BD was a contemporary of his and was the biggest influence on his style of singing. If you called the PBS station during one of the breaks, you could also get a 3-CD set of the same name. BD’s song “Beyond the Sea” is on that CD. Thanks to Mandy Turner for this information.
