Bobby Sherman

Music In 1962, Sal Mineo wrote two songs for Sherman and arranged for Sherman to record them. In 1964, Mineo asked Sherman to sing with his band at a Hollywood party where many actors and agents were in attendance. After this, Sherman signed with an agent and soon landed a part on the ABC television show Shindig! as a house singer and member of the cast. Sherman made several records with Decca and another smaller label and appeared in teen magazines. In early 1968, he was selected for the role of Jeremy Bolt, a bashful, stammering logger, in the ABC television series Here Come the Brides (1968–1970). As of 1970, Sherman had received more fan mail than any other performer on the ABC-TV network. His other hits were "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" (written by Tom Bahler); "Easy Come, Easy Go"; "Jennifer"; "La La La (If I Had You)"; and "The Drum" (written by Alan O'Day). Some of these songs were produced by Jackie Mills, who also produced the Brady Bunch Kids. In Canada, "Hey, Mister Sun" reached #19; "Cried Like a Baby" reached #10; and "Waiting at the Bus Stop" reached #31. "La, La, La"; "Easy Come, Easy Go"; and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" all sold in excess of a million copies and earned more gold discs for Sherman. The song competed there for chart space with White Plains' cover version, which placed at #8. Sherman toured extensively through the United States and the world in support of his records and albums. He gave many concerts to sellout crowds of mostly screaming young women from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. Television and film Sherman was a regular star on the weekly ABC television network show Here Come the Brides from September 25, 1968, to September 18, 1970. He played the youngest brother, Jeremy Bolt. Sherman was a frequent guest on American Bandstand and Where the Action Is. In March 1971 he appeared on an episode of The Partridge Family as a back-door pilot for the ABC TV series Getting Together, which aired starting in September 1971 He knew how to play sixteen musical instruments.

It was appropriate that the former musician, pop star, TV star, singer and teen idol, Bobby Sherman played the former musician Frankie Rondell, the Sanchez family's next door neighbor on the 1986 TV sitcom series, Sanchez of Bel Air. Although most of Sherman's acting career was on television, he also appeared in two movies. In 1975, Sherman starred in the family film He Is My Brother, directed by Edward Dmytryk. In 1983, Sherman appeared alongside fellow teen idol Fabian as the villain's henchmen in the cult film Get Crazy, directed by Allan Arkush. Comeback and retirement In 1998, after an absence of 25 years, Sherman appeared in "The Teen Idol Tour" with Peter Noone and Davy Jones. (Micky Dolenz replaced Davy Jones on the tour in 1999.) Sherman performed his last concert as a solo performer in Lincoln, Rhode Island, on August 25, 2001. Although retired from public life, he still appeared at corporate and charity events. He was ranked No. 8 in TV Guides list of "TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols" (January 23, 2005, issue). ==Post-entertainment career==

In 1974, Sherman guest-starred on an episode of the Jack Webb television series Emergency! ("Fools", season 3, episode 17, aired January 19, 1974), and found a new calling.
