Singer Bobby Rydell was so popular and influential during his music career that the high school in both the musical and movie “Grease” were named after him – Rydell High.
Rydell burst onto the music scene in the 1950s and continued to have a successful career for an impressive six decades. Some of his best known songs include “Wild One,” “The Cha-Cha-Cha” and “Wildwood Days.” He sold upwards of 25 million records, and 34 of his songs were top 40 hits.
