Robert Cabot Sherman Jr. (born July 22, 1943) is an American singer,
actor and occasional songwriter who became a teen idol in the late
1960s and early 1970s. He had a series of successful singles, notably
the million-seller "Little Woman" (1969). Sherman retreated from his
show business career in the 1970s for a career as a paramedic and a
sheriff's officer, though he occasionally performed into the 1990s.In
1962, Sal Mineo wrote two songs for Sherman as well as arranging for
Sherman to record the songs. In 1964, when Mineo asked Sherman to sing
with his old band at a Hollywood party (where many actors and agents
were in attendance), Sherman was signed with an agent and eventually
landed a part on the ABC television show Shindig! as a regular cast
member/house singer. Shindig! had a run of one year.Sherman made
several records with Decca and another smaller label and was featured
in teen magazines. In early 1968, he was selected for the role of the
bashful, stammering logger, Jeremy Bolt, in the ABC television series
Here Come the Brides (1968-1970). As of 1970, Bobby Sherman had
received more fan mail than any other performer on the ABC-TV
network.Sherman appeared on an episode of Honey West entitled "The
Princess and the Paupers" as a kidnapped band member and an episode of
The Monkees entitled "Monkees at the Movies", playing a pompous
surfer/singer named Frankie Catalina in the vein of Frankie Avalon,
performing the song "The New Girl in School" (the flip of Jan & Dean's
"Dead Man's Curve").
