Brian Hyland

Brian Hyland (born November 12, 1943) is an American pop singer and instrumentalist who was particularly successful during the early 1960s. He had a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini in 1960. Other hits include Sealed with a Kiss and Gypsy Woman which each reached #3. Hyland continued recording into the 1970s. AllMusic journalist Jason Ankeny says "Hyland's puppy-love pop virtually defined the sound and sensibility of bubblegum during the pre-Beatles era." Although his status as a teen idol faded, he went on to release several country-influenced albums and had additional chart hits later in his career.
