Bobby Vee: 1959
Bobby Vee, a Fargo kid, put together a band called the Shadows and performed at the Moorhead show that night. Later that year he came to Minneapolis to record “Suzie Baby” on SOMA Records. It was re-released on Liberty Records and broke the Billboard charts on August 31, 1959, reaching Number 77. His next record only charted to 93, but then “Devil or Angel,” a cover of a song by the Clovers from 1956, hit Number 6 in 1960 and he was on his way, charting 38 records during his career.
