Bobby Helms Autographs
Robert Lee Helms (August 15, 1933 – June 19, 1997) was an American country singer and musician. In 1957, he had a perennial Christmas hit with "Jingle Bell Rock", and two other hits that same year: "Fraulein" and "My Special Angel".
Robert Lee Helms was born on August 15, 1933, in Bloomington, Indiana (some sources say nearby Helmsburg), the son of Hildreth Esther (née Abram) and Fred Robert Helms. His family was musical. Helms began performing as a duo with his brother, Freddie, before going on to a successful solo career in country music. In 1956, Helms made his way to Nashville, Tennessee, where he signed a recording contract with Decca Records, and achieved multiple successes the following year. His first single in 1957, titled "Fraulein", went to number one on the country music chart and made it into the top 40 on the Billboard Best Sellers in Stores chart. Later that same year, he released "My Special Angel", which also hit number one on the country charts and entered the top 10 on Billboard's pop music chart, peaking at number seven. It sold over one million copies, earning a gold disc.
His song "Jingle Bell Rock", which was released in the late fall of 1957, produced by Paul Cohen was a big hit and was being played and danced to on Dick Clark's teen dance show American Bandstand by mid-December of that year. It also re-emerged in four out of the next five years, and sold so well that it repeated each time as a top hit, becoming a Christmas classic still played today. (In 2016, it was rated radio's third-most-played Christmas song, according to StationIntel). It took five years for the song to become a second million-seller for Helms. It reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 21 weeks on the chart. The record gained gold disc status. At the end of a television performance of the song toward the end of his life, Helms said, "I didn't want to do the song when they first brought it to me, but now I'm sure glad I did." ASCAP and AllMusic list the writers of the song as Joseph Beal, Joseph Carlton, James Ross, and James Boothe.
