By: Gabrielle Sierra
Named one of "the most successful love singers of the Rock-Era" by Billboard Magazine, Bobby Vinton is coming to the Chicagoland area to entertain audiences at Drury Lane Oakbrook, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, IL. Vinton will perform his greatest hits Monday, May 10 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, May 11 at 1:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The special dinner concert event will also feature a menu from Drury Lane Oakbrook's acclaimed dining room including Prime Rib, Pike Francais, Rigatoni con Fungi and Chicken Provencal.
After the release of his first single, "Roses Are Red (My Love)," which spent four weeks in the number one slot on the Billboard 100 charts, Vinton's magical voice and sentimental orchestral arrangements quickly set the standard for love music. In 1963, Vinton hit number three on the charts with "Blue on Blue," and then topped the charts with "Blue Velvet," and "There, I've Said It Again." The following year Vinton recorded "Mr. Lonely," which also reached number one, earning him more hit records than any other male recording artist in the 1960s. His timeless love songs are recognized as standards throughout the world and his music has retained its vitality and relevance throughout the changing eras of the music industry.The performance schedule is as follows: Monday, May 10 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, May 11 at 1:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets for rows one through six for the 1:30 p.m. performances are $50 ($45 for subscribers and groups) and $55 ($50 for subscribers and groups) for the 8 p.m. performance on May 11.
