Wow!!

I celebrated my 50th birthday last week.  My friends and family had a
surprise party for me and one of the gifts was a double cd pack and
bio from Bobby Curtola.  My friends know I enjoy Bobby so much.  We
both grew up in Thunder Bay and went to Lakeview High School.  I was
a few years behindBobby but never the less I felt like I knew him.
He has entertained in Fort St. John, where I live and I have been
lucky enough to see him and talk with him.  He is the best.  thanks
again Bobby and I will treasure these memories for sure.

Hi,

I'm Vrinda and I just joined today. I'm 23 and live in Westfield, New
Jersey. I first discovered Bobby Curtola's music on a cable channel
that played oldies all day - when I find the name I'll tell you.

He's got a rollicking, upbeat type of singing, that picks you up and
gets you moving. No wonder they called him Mr. Personality.

Anyway, thanks for creating this group and allowing me to introduce
myself. I hope to be talking to all of you again very soon.

Vrinda

So many letters,E-Mails and phone calls from all of the fans Bobby
send all his love and thanks to you all.XXXXXX OOOOO Bobby

Watch For Bobby Curtola "Hall OF Fame"   You will be able to view
this on Bobby's Web Page www.curtola.com very soon.

Kudos to Bobby
By Chen Chekki - The Chronicle-Journal
September 28, 2003
A pop legend who has a chunk of the Canadian Music Industry Hall of
Fame now has a chunk of Thunder Bay pavement.

"I tell you, this is a choker," Thunder Bay original Bobby
Curtola
said yesterday at Marina Park.

Thunder Bay gave the 59-year-old's name to a road north of the
Camelot Street entrance to the park.

Set to Curtola's tunes Fortune Teller and Move Over, the street-
naming ceremony began with the arrival of a procession of vintage
cars.

Travelling with Mayor Ken Boshcoff in a flashy red 1950 Mercury
Custom Coupe that led the series of cars, Curtola was greeted by
throngs of fans and curious onlookers.

The crowd gathered around the Mercury as the procession stopped
beside the playground portion of the park.

After a brief introduction by Boshcoff, who called Curtola one of
the city's finest ambassadors, the street naming forged ahead in
dramatic style.

As dozens took pictures, Curtola pulled a blue drape cloth to unveil
the new street sign for Bobby Curtola Drive.

"I've never forgotten where I've come from," Curtola
told the crowd
of more than 100 who braved the cool wind. "I'm sort of shook
up
about today."

Flanked by local band The Sensational Hot Rods, as well as his
brother, business manager and dozens of other friends and family, he
talked about never growing up and learning all about camaraderie and
respect in Thunder Bay.

"When you make a friend in Thunder Bay, you make a friend for
life,"
he said to the cheering crowd.

Asked about whether he will visit the road during future visits to
the city, he replied: "Are you kidding? You're damn
right."

Italian by heritage, Curtola also received a plaque from the Thunder
Bay Italian community that recognizes his career in the music
industry and his charity work around the world.

Now living in Edmonton, he quietly slips into the Lakehead about
twice a year to visit relatives and friends.

Curtola played in a basement band, Bobby and the Bobcats, in the
late 1950s. His first hit single Hand in Hand With You was released
in January 1960.

He started his first tour in the fall of 1960. By the next year, he
started recording in Nashville.

His hit song, Fortune Teller, went Gold in Canada soon after being
released in Canada. It became a 2.5-million seller around the world.

He later recorded the song, Things Go Better with Coke, which led to
The Real Thing, a song that was modified to be used for Coke
commercials.

His success in the sixties included 25 Canadian Gold singles and 12
Canadian Gold albums.

Several more decades of success led to a European tour in 2001.

But that's not all.

Charities all over the world have benefited by Curtola's work,
including the Bobby Curtola Foundation for Children in Ecuador.

His efforts and success culminated in being inducted into the Order
of Canada in 1998.

Curtola said yesterday's street-naming is now one of the biggest
highlights of his life.

"Thank you for this incredible moment in my life," he told
the crowd.

Congratulations Bobby

Norm & I want to wish you all the best for the upcoming Street
renaming.  Wishing that we could be there with you, but please know
that our thought will be with you.  See you again soon

your friends
Zuelema and Norm

Marina Park roadway to be renamed next month

By Jim Kelly - The Chronicle-Journal

August 20, 2003

Street signs will be going up for another former Thunder Bay
resident who made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

Bobby Curtola, who went from pumping gas at his father's service
station in the former city of Port Arthur to the life of a teenage
idol, will have a short roadway in Marina Park named after him.

City council this week approved naming the roadway Bobby Curtola
Drive. The official ceremony will take place Sept. 26 with Curtola
in attendance.

This comes after last September's dedication of the roadway leading
to the front door of the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium named
after Paul Shaffer, band leader on Late Show with David Letterman.

A group of local supporters and fans wanted to rename part of Gibson
Avenue in front of the former Lakeview High School (now St. Ignatius
High School).

However, city staff said it would be easier to bestow the honour
using one of the unnamed laneways within Marina Park.

Curtola, now 60, got his start in the late 1950s playing at sock
hops at the former Lakeview High School ( now St. Ignatius High
School) with his basement band the Bobby and the Bobcats.

Guided in initially by his managers Basil and Dyer Hurdon, Curtola
shot to international prominence with such hits as Fortune Teller,
Hand in Hand With You, Aladdin, Three Rows Over, Hitchhiker and
Don't You Sweetheart Me.

Incidentally, Fortune Teller sold 2.5 million records
internationally. In total, Curtola had 25 gold records.

He toured with Dick Clark and his Cavalcade of Stars, opened for Bob
Hope and achieved near-legendary status in an industry that was
dominated by U.S. pop stars.

His recording career took him to all parts of Canada, Europe, Japan
and the United States and eventually Las Vegas, where he had a seven-
figure contract as a headliner at the Sands Hotel for 12 years
beginning in the early 1970s.

Bobby Curtola Drive is that portion of Marina Park Drive south of
the Marina Park Overpass and north of the Camelot Street entrance.

Curtola to be Honoured with Street
The Source: Thunder Bay ~ July 29, 2003
A roadway at Marina Park will soon be named after
Thunder Bay music legend Bobby Curtola.
A group of supporters had originally wanted council to re-name a
part of the street in front of the former Lakeview High School where
the singer had attended.
City staff said it would be easier to bestow the honour using one of
the unnamed laneways within Marina Park. Council agreed to that and
a ceremony and concert is now being planned for September 26th.
