Numerous teen idols emerged in the 60s, delighting young girls with their crooning ways and good looks. One such star was Bobby Sherman, who caught the attention of his young fans on television and proceeded to release a number of memorable hit singles into the 70s.

Catching the musical bug at a young age, Bobby Sherman started playing trumpet at age 11 and soon after, was able to play an astounding 16 different instruments. His talent landed him a role on the popular television program, Shindig, where he was featured as the house singer for three years. This led to a number of guest roles on such TV shows as The Monkees and The F.B.I. before the young heartthrob was finally offered a featured role, as a young logger on the series Here Comes the Brides. Shortly after, he found his way to the music charts with his first single, “Little Woman” which proceeded to climb to the #3 spot in 1969 and went gold.

There were more hits to follow for Sherman. “Julie (Do You Love Me)” reached the #5 spot, “Easy Come, Easy Go” made it to #9 as well as “La La La.” In 1971, an appearance on The Partridge Family was so well received that he was given his own television series, called Getting Together, which unfortunately only lasted for 13 episodes. Bobby’s popularity remained strong with his young fans, however, gracing the cover of every teen magazine in the world - as well as boxes of Honeycombs cereal.

A dedicated family man, Bobby Sherman became semi-retired in 1972, although he still shows up on occasion to croon to his loving fans. He found a second career later in life(in part, due to a guest appearance on the 70s show, Emergency!), teaching first aid classes for the LA Police Department and is now a San Bernardino County deputy sheriff. But even though he has received numerous humanitarian awards in recent years for his law enforcement efforts, he will always be fondly remembered by all of those once young fans, that stared lovingly at his Tiger Beat pictures and fondly wished for their own mouth-to-mouth resuscitation session.
