Bobby Sherman gained fame in the late ’60s and early ’70s as a teen idol and pop star after he was introduced to Jack Good, who began to feature him on his musical show, Shindig. The 81-year-old also appeared in the TV series, Here Come the Brides, where he played the role of Jeremy Bolt, a part that cemented his position as a teen idol.
