Two Dads Are Better than One What's better than having one father? Why, having two fathers, of course! And wouldn't you know it, Bobby Rydell's the kid who has them both. Naturally, only one of the pops can claim a real flesh 'n blood relationship, but the other, Frank Day, might just as well change his name to Ridarelli and move into the family home in South Philadelphia -- that's how close he is to Bobby. Not only did Frank discover Bobby, he has acted as his teacher, guardian, friend and confidant through all the long years of struggle as well as the glorious days of success. From the time he plucked the young singer from an obscure teen combo (seven years ago) and began the grooming process that was to make him a star, Frank has been constantly by Bobby's side, seeing to it that he got singing, dancing, drum and guitar lessons along with careful instruction in all the little things that make the difference between and amateur and a professional. In fact, Frank himself taught Bobby how to do D.J. interviews and how to conduct himself during personal appearances. But, while Bobby is grateful to Frank for many things, he insists much of the credit for his success goes to his real father, Al Ridarelli. Something of a "frustrated entertainer" himself, Mr. Ridarelli encouraged his son to become a performer from babyhood -- taking him to the local theater every Saturday afternoon to see the great names of the show business world and applauding his childish efforts to imitate the stars after each performance. And it was Mr. Ridarelli who took nine-year-old Bobby to Paul Whiteman's Teen Club, where he made his professional debut. No, there's no doubt about it, Al Ridarelli and Frank Day have both been very important in the life of Bobby Rydell and both have been like fathers to him. And now that Mr. Ridarelli had become Bobby's road manager, the three are together nearly all the time. And father(s) and son like the arrangement just fine.
