Roses Are Red (album)
1962 studio album by Bobby Vinton
Roses Are Red is Bobby Vinton's third studio album, released in 1962. After Vinton's hit "Roses Are Red (My Love)" reached No. 1 (and saved Vinton from being fired from Epic Records), 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 (My Love)" 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 ("I Fall to Pieces", "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?", "I Can't Stop Loving You", "I Can't Help It" and "Please Help Me, I'm Falling"). Vinton's 1964 No. 1 hit "Mr. Lonely" (co-written by Vinton) 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.
