Bobby Sherman, the effortlessly charming singer and actor who became a heartthrob for a generation of teens in the 1960s and '70s with hits like "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" and his role on Here Come the Brides, has passed away at 81. Known for his boyish grin and wholesome appeal, Sherman later traded fame for a career as an EMT, proving there was more to him than just pop stardom.
Editor’s Note: Sherman’s death marks the end of an era for fans who grew up with his music and TV shows—he was one of those rare stars who felt like the nice guy next door, not a distant celebrity. His pivot to emergency medicine later in life also made him a different kind of hero, showing that fame isn’t the only measure of a meaningful life. For pop culture history buffs, it’s a moment to revisit the squeaky-clean teen idols who ruled before the age of social media chaos.
