262 Bobby Helms (1933-1997) “My Special Angel” 1957

“Bobby Helms was one of the most popular singing stars of the late 1950s. His full voice and straightforward way of singing (sometimes compared to Webb Pierce's) enabled him to become one of the first performers to transcend music barriers, selling tremendous numbers of recordings in both the pop and country markets. With his lack of affectation, downhome style, and boyish appearance…His huge fan following was not limited to the United States; he was also very popular in Europe, especially in West Germany” (American National Biography).
