August 15, 1933 Bobby Helms is born in Bloomington, Indiana. He scored two #1 Country hits in 1957, "Fraulein" and "My Special Angel". 'Jingle Bell Rock', released in late fall of that year initially only went to #13 on the charts.

NOW THAT'S REAL COUNTRY MUSIC!! ....Bobby Helms singin' the classic "Fraulein"(1957)....(One of the rebuttal-songs Kitty Wells sung about "always being your Fraulein" ...Bobby is probably just as famous for the song everyone knows: "Jingle Bell Rock"——yes that's him lol... ....I know he's looking like a pirate, but Helms lost his sight from a medical condition exacerbated by the constant bright lights shining in the eye ..... He's a trooper... ((Not to be confused with Don Helms, former Hank Wil
