Promoters put out a call to local acts, and Vee, who had just put his band together a couple of weeks before volunteered. Their performance led to a local record deal.
He scored 38 hits in the top 100 from 1959 to 1970, peaking at No. 1 with "Take Care Good of My Baby," and No. 2 with "Run to Him."
Vee, who was born Robert Velline in Fargo, North Dakota, shortened his name on the advice of none other than Bob Dylan, who briefly played piano in Vee's band.
