Bobby Vee – Take Good Care Of My Baby

Cariera lui Bobby Vee este strans legata de accidentul de avion din 1959, in care Buddy Holly, Richie Valens si Big Bopper au murit. Cvasi necunoscuta trupa a lui Bobby Vee a fost invitata sa umple golul lasat de cei trei in turneu. Au participat la un singur spectacol, la urmatorul fiind invitati Jimmy Clanton si Frankie Avalon.
Pentru Shadows, numele ales de formatia lui Bobby Vee, au urmat cateva reprezentatii pentru liceeni si in primavara lui 1959 incearca sa coopteze un pianist in trupa. Isi zicea Elston Gunnn, iar numele real era Bobby Zimmerman. Colaborarea n-a durat foarte mult pentru ca pianistul nu putea sa cante la pian decat intr-o singura cheie si nici nu detinea un pian. Pianistul a lasat pianul pentru chitara, s-a indreptat spre zona folk a muzicii, s-a mutat la New York si si-a luat numele de scena Bob Dylan (The history of rock – Bobby Vee).
Bobby Vee si Shadows participa in iunie 1959 la prima lor sesiune de inregistrari si asa apare primul hit al artistului, “Suzie baby”.

In 1961 piesa “Take good care of my baby”, un disc de aur, urca pe primul loc in topul pop Billboard si deschidea cariera de star international a lui Bobby Vee, o cariera muzicala intinsa pe mai bine de 50 de ani.

My tears are falling ’cause you’ve taken her away
And though it really hurts me so, there’s something that I’ve got to say

Take good care of my baby
Please don’t ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure that your thinking of her
In everything thing you say and do

Take good care of my baby
Now don’t you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint rainbows all around her
Don’t let her see a clouded sky

Once upon a time
That little girl was mine
If I’d been true, I know she’d never be with you

So, Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don’t really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Well, Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don’t really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Ah, take good care of my baby
Well, take good care of my baby
Just, take good care of my baby
Oh, take good care of my baby
