The Bobby Vinton Show was a Canadian musical variety television series produced for the CTV Television Network between 1975 and 1978, with a total of 52 episodes broadcast.
 Featuring Bobby Vinton, a best-selling popular music singer since the early 1960s, the series mixed comedy skits with musical interludes.
 Appearing on the series as a regular was comedian Billy Van.
 The series often satirized Vinton's Polish heritage, and its theme song was an "umpah band" rendition of his 1974 song "My Melody of Love" (Vinton also ended each episode by performing the song himself).
 The series was created by Chris Bearde and packaged by Chuck Barris.
The Best of Bobby Vinton is a collection of 14 Top 40 hits that Bobby Vinton had for Epic Records.

 The track of a cover of "The Way We Were" makes its first album appearance on this collection.
Bobby Vinton Sings for Lonely Nights is Bobby Vinton's eleventh studio album, released in 1965.

 There were two singles from this album: "Long Lonely Nights" (previously a minor hit for Lee Andrews & the Hearts then for Clyde McPhatter in 1957 and then for The Four Seasons in 1964) and Vinton's self-penned "L-O-N-E-L-Y".
 Cover versions include "Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week)", "All Alone Am I", "Oh, How I Miss You Tonight", "In the Still of the Night", "I'll Walk Alone" and "Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue?)

Mr. Lonely is Bobby Vinton's tenth studio album, released in 1964.
 It was released right after the success of his fourth and final #1 US hit "Mr. Lonely," a 1962 song that was released as a single after its appearance on "Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits".
 Cover versions on this album include "Laughing on the Outside (Crying on the Inside)" and "I'll Never Smile Again".
 After the success of the single, Vinton released "Bobby Vinton Sings for Lonely Nights", an album of songs devoted to the subject of loneliness.
The Many Moods of Bobby Vinton is a 2-LP collection of previously recorded songs by Bobby Vinton.
