Bobby Breen (born November 4, 1927) is a Canadian-born former actor and singer. He was the most popular male child singer during the 1930s and reached major popularity with film and radio appearances.
He made his professional debut at age four in a night club in Toronto and was an immediate sensation. He made his radio debut soon after. He played in vaudeville and his sister paid for his musical education. Breen went to Hollywood in 1935. His first major appearance was on Eddie Cantor's weekly radio show in 1936, and he soon became the leading child star at RKO Radio Pictures. He is best remembered today for his films, and for the fact that he was a boy soprano. His first film was Let's Sing Again (1936), followed by eight more, including Rainbow on the River (1936), Make a Wish (1937), Hawaii Calls (1938), Way Down South (1939), and his last film, Johnny Doughboy (1942). He was RKO's biggest child star at this time and, while he played the leading part, his co-stars included famous actors like Basil Rathbone, Alan Mowbray, Charlie Ruggles, May Robson and Dolores Costello.
Bobby is a nickname for Robert, Roberta, Robin, or Babu.
Bobby or Bobbie may also refer to:
Rainbow on the River is a 1936 American musical film directed by Kurt Neumann from a screenplay by Harry Chandlee, Earle Snell, and William Hurlbut, based upon the novel Toinette's Philip by C. V. Jamison. Produced by Bobby Breen Productions and Principal Productions, the movie was premiered in New York City on December 17, 1936, and released nationwide by RKO Radio Pictures the following week on Christmas Day. The film stars Bobby Breen, May Robson and Charles Butterworth.
Bobby Breen, born in Canada in 1927, was an extraordinarily young singer, having begun at age 4 in a night club in Toronto. It was off to Hollywood in 1935, and several movies followed, including Rainbow on the River, in 1936. He also did radio appearances and made recordings during the 30's. His career disappeared as he grew older, although he kept in the game as long as he could. He finally went into business, and was successful with a talent scout agency later in life.
Bobby Breen (b. November 4, 1927) sings his great hit "Rainbow on the River" in the movie of the same name. Blessed with a gorgeous soprano voice, Bobby appeared in nine films between 1936 and 1942. This film is a classic that should really have a proper DVD restoration. The theme song was also recorded by Guy Lombardo's Orchestra, Perry Como with Ted Weems's Orchestra, Charlie Barnet and His Orchestra, and other wonderful groups of the time.

Recorded in 1948, during the American Federation of Musicians "recording ban", in which they stayed out of recording studios [on orders of their president, James Caesar Petrillo], until financial and other business matters were settled with the studios. In the meantime, vocalists [like Breen] were accompanied by choral and vocal groups in place of musical backgrounds. In this case, "The Other Ray Charles"- a choral director later associated with Perry Como's records, radio and TV shows with his vocal group, and best known for singing the theme for "THREE'S COMPANY" with Julia Rinker-accompanied Breen with his singers (and Joe Herron).

The Dutch-born child singer Heintje Simons (1955) became a huge Movie, TV and singing star in the German/Dutch speaking world in 1967, when he released the Italian song "Mama," which had been sung by countless Italians. He lives now in Belgium, and is a family man with 3 children. His adult story was much happier than that of so many child stars, whose lives dropped with their voices, often into chaos. People are naturally attracted to child artists of one kind or another, and each language group seems to have its own favorite, so that we had Joselito in the vast Hispanic world, Robertino Loretti in the Italian speaking world (and, curiously, in Russia, where his followers were legion), Bobby Breen, at one time quite well known in America,( and he started at a really young age, around ...

Bobby Breen was a 30s child star. Originally from Canada ,he sang in several musicals, including one with former Our Gang stars Spanky McFarland and Carl "Alfalfas" Switzer. He got out of movies and tried a comeback in the 50s. He atempted again, another comeback with this Motown single, a valiant effort by a white artist , to capture that Motown sound!!! UMG owns the song. I once owned the 45.

We're here to make a change
So all can be free
A call has been made
And we're back, we're back
Oh, we're back
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
In fact you're timid, weak, soft, illiterate
Call yourself a magician, I'm not kickin' it
You're at the top of my list
