Thanks Marv. I've wondered what happened to him. Nice to hear he performed and had income from writing that great sing Do You Wanna Dance. RIP Bobby and thanks for the memories!

I had wondered too about what had happened to him. I remember seeing him on Shindig and trying to do the swim like he did even before I was wearing big boy pants! LOL! Thank you Bobby!

Sorry to hear about Bobby Freeman and thanks for the news. I only know his two major hits; "Do You Want To Dance" & "C'mon And Swim" but they've always remained favorites. RIP Bobby Freeman.
