him.Here Come The Bridges featured Sherman as the stammering Jason Bolt, and he stayed on the show for the entire two years. At the conclusion of his stint, his character lost his stammer, and the program was ultimately cancelled.
When Jason Bolt made an appearance at a telethon in Buffalo, Sherman noticed how well-liked the persona of Jason Bolt was among viewers. He was suddenly more than just a rising star. Instead, he had achieved stardom.
“The show had just hit the air, and we didn’t even have any records out yet,” Sherman remarked.
“Greg Morris of Mission: Impossible and Robert Brown and I from Here Come The Brides had been asked to do the telethon, and it was going along and doing very well, when the fire marshall came in and said, ‘We have a problem. You’d better come up to the second floor; You’ve got to greet some people.’
“They opened up this window, and I looked out, and the parting lot of this television station was absolutely a sea of faces,” he added. “It was just unbelievable. And I got a clue then that something was happening.”Sherman’s young audience purchased millions of records from 1969 to 1971, during which time he also recorded hits including Julie, Do Ya Love Me, Easy Come, Easy Go, and Little Woman.
He sold one million copies of four distinct recorded albums and six different single recordings.
“A song begins with an idea – one line,” he said in 1971.” I build that into a complete lyric. Then, I fit the music around it.”
In 1970 and 1971, Sherman starred in the television show Getting Together, a The Partridge Family spinoff about two songwriters. Sherman then appeared in a number of other guest appearances.
His marriage to Patti Carnel, his first wife, in 1971, took place concurrently with Sherman’s ascent to stardom. Tyler and Christopher, the couple’s two boys, were born into the worldI don’t think I’d change a thing — except to maybe be a little bit more aware of [the success], because I probably could’ve relished the fun of it a little more,” Sherman admitted. “It was a lot of work. It was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. But it was the best of times.”
Bobby Sherman wed his second-wife Brigette in 2011, and they are still married to this day. The same year they tied the knot, they founded The Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, a Ghana-based youth center dedicated to blending music and education.
