Roses Are Red (album)
Roses Are Red is Bobby Vinton's third studio album, released in 1962. After Vinton's hit "Roses Are Red " reached No. 1, the eponymous album was released and made its way up to No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Shortly after the success of the song and album, Epic renewed Vinton's contract but changed his artist title from a bandleader to a solo artist.
"Roses Are Red " is the first track on the album. Cover versions include "Sentimental Me", Cole Porter's "True Love", Roy Orbison's hit "Crying", "If I Give My Heart to You" and five country songs. Vinton's 1964 No. 1 hit "Mr. Lonely" was originally only an album track here; its release as a single was two years later when it appeared on Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits.
