"Someday (When I'm Gone From You)" by Bobby Vee

A teenage heartthrob from North Dakota, Bobby Vee was omnipresent on the radio and big screen throughout the 60s, ranking as the 20th most successful artist of the decade. His first big hit arrived in 1960 when "Devil Or Angel" soared to #6.

Vee would rack up an impressive list of Top 40 hits, notably "Rubber Ball" (#6), "Run To Him" (#2), "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" (#3), and "Come Back When You Grow Up" (#3). He also landed at the top spot once: "Take Good Care Of My Baby" stayed at #1 for three weeks in 1961. Many of his songs were covers, and a large number written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

By the end of the decade, Vee was struggling to adapt to the shifting musical landscape. His last chart appearance was in 1970 when "Sweet Sweetheart" stalled at #88.

Vee collaborated with many others during his hey day, and "Someday (When I'm Gone From You)" is from a 1962 album he did with The Crickets. It was featured on the "Punish Her" single that went to #20. "Someday" only reached #99. Vee passed away in 2016 at the age of 73.
