The Pride of Santa Monica, California

Robert Cabot Sherman, Jr. was an All-American boy. To his parents, Robert Cabot Sr. and Juanita, he was their great joy. Gifted with acting skills and a great voice, his career went far. In no time at all, California's native son became a star. On television in "Here Come the Brides", he played "Jeremy" This role cemented his tremendous popularity. His first recording of "Little Woman" soared up the charts. Bobby won uncountable teenage girls' hearts. His burgeoning popularity was totally unquestionable. Other hits that followed made him a big teen idol. With all the attention he was getting, there was some strife. Bobby decided to back away to a quieter life. Yes, Bobby certainly accomplished much in his day. At the age of eighty-one, he silently passed away. Bobby Sherman (1943-2025) I thank Wikipedia,org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.

Hi Robert, well penned verse. I remember as a kid back in the 60's having a crush on him, lol! Although the sadness of the Vietnam War loomed over the 60's, I was glad I grew up in during that time. ~
