Los Angeles, California — Beloved singer, actor, and heartthrob of a generation, Bobby Sherman has passed away at the age of 81, his family confirmed early this morning. Best known for his 1969 smash hit “Little Woman” and his starring role on Here Come the Brides, Sherman was one of the most recognizable faces — and voices — of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
With his boyish charm, bright smile, and unforgettable voice, Bobby Sherman captured the hearts of millions of teenage fans. Between 1969 and 1971, he released a string of Top 40 hits including “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” and “La La La (If I Had You).” His wholesome image and musical talent made him a fixture on television, teen magazines, and concert stages across the country.
Sherman’s career extended beyond the spotlight. After stepping away from show business in the late 1970s, he followed a new calling: public service. He became a certified EMT and later a reserve police officer, dedicating decades to saving lives and training others in emergency care. To fans and colleagues alike, this chapter of his life was just as inspiring as his stardom.
“I’ve had two wonderful careers,” Sherman once said. “One as a performer, and one helping people. I’m grateful for both.”

Yet for those who grew up with his posters on their walls and his records on their turntables, Bobby Sherman will always be remembered as more than a pop star.

“He sang to us, he made us smile, and then he spent his life helping others. What a legacy.”
Rest in peace, Bobby Sherman.
Your voice, your heart, and your humanity will never be forgotten.
