ALBUM: With Love, Bobby
MVC RATING: 2.5
Yes, I have Bobby Sherman, teen idol. I bought this out of pure nostalgia. One of his biggest hits was ‘Julie, Do Ya Love Me.’ My brother and I would torment my sister, Julie, by singing along extra loud and pointing our fingers at her when it came over the radio.
Bobby Sherman was in all the Teen Beat magazines which I would sometimes buy for a quarter or two. And he became a star of a television show called ‘Here Come the Brides.’ He also made appearances on many other TV shows including Laugh In, the FBI, the Partridge Family. and Frasier. He was No. 8 in a Time Magazine list of all time greatest TV teen idols
Sherman’s story takes an interesting turn when he becomes an EMT and a deputy sheriff in California, according to Wikipedia.
It was his appearance in the TV drama, ‘Emergency’ that steered him down the path to being an emergency medical technician. He was eventually promoted to Captain with the LAPD and was a medical training officer who instructed thousands of police academy recruits in first aid and CPR, Wikipedia reports.
He was named LAPD’s Reserve Officer of the Year in 1999.
