My very special guest is American music legend, Bobby Rydell, one of the first teenage idols. Bobby’s first hit Kissin’ Time made him a household name in 1959. This was followed by Wild One, Forget Him and Volare among other hits which secured an image which won millions of hearts around the world.

Bobby, who recently turned 79, explains in our brutally honest conversation, that he always wanted to be recognised as more than a teenage idol, and he achieved that. He still tours today with his childhood friend Frankie Avalon and another celebrated teen star, Fabian as The Golden Boys.

He has enjoyed more than six decades of success. Frank Sinatra said he was his favourite singer and Bobby shares amusing anecdotes from his glittering career. He also speaks movingly about his addiction to alcohol, how a double liver and kidney transplant saved his life and how his career has blossomed in recent years.
