in Van Nuys, California. Sherman attended Pierce College
in Woodland Hills, California.
In 1964 when Bobby had a chance to sing with his old band at a Hollywood party, there were many actors and agents in attendance, he made such an impression at that party he landed an agent and eventually a part on the ABC television show Shindig!
as a regular cast member/house singer. The show ran for two years, from 1964 to 1966. During that time Bobby made several records with Decca and another smaller label, and landed in all the teen magazines, but it did not seem to give him the success he deserved. Sherman did not have much luck until 1969 when he earned a role as the bashful, stammering logger Jeremy Bolt on the ABC television series Here Come the Brides
, with Bridget Hanley
as his romantic interest, Candy Pruitt. The cast included Robert Brown
, David Soul
, and Joan Blondell
. The show was an instant success. Bobby Sherman became the breakout star of the show and a beloved Teen Idol
world wide.

, performing the song "New Girl in School" (which was co-written by The Beach Boys
' Brian Wilson
, Jan Berry of Jan and Dean
, songwriter Roger Christian and Bob Norberg
who was a room mate of Wilson's at the time).
In Sherman's recording career he earned seven gold singles, one platinum single, and five gold albums. He had a career total of seven top 40 hits. In 1969, his first gold
single, "Little Woman", became popular, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100
chart
(#2 in Canada) and spending nine weeks in the Top 20. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc
by the R.I.A.A. in October 1969. His other hits were "Julie (Do Ya Love Me)" (US #5) (Canada #3) (Australia #3) (written by Tom Bahler
), "Easy Come, Easy Go" (US #9) (Canada #6), "Jennifer" (US #60) (Canada #32), "La, La, La" (US #9) (Canada #7), and "The Drum" (US #29) (Canada #7) (written by Alan O'Day
). Some of these songs were produced by Jackie Mills, a Hollywood record producer, who also produced the Brady Bunch Kids. In Canada "Hey Mister Sun" reached #19, "Cried Like A Baby" reached #10, and "Waiting At The Bus Stop" reached #31. "La, La, La," "Easy Come, Easy Go," and "Julie Do Ya Love Me" all sold in excess of a million copies and garnered further gold discs for Sherman.
