Bobby Goldsboro (born January 18, 1941) is an American pop and country singer-songwriter. He had a string of pop and country hits in the 1960s and 1970s, including his signature No. 1 hit "Honey", which sold over one million copies in the United States.
Has written and performs (in assorted voices) more than 100 new songs for his "Swamp Critters" children's video series.

Has created, written and produced at least 52 episodes of the children's video series The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon (1995). In addition, he voices all of the characters played by costumed actors and puppets.

His famous tree-frog impression was often mis-identified as a cricket.

His other country hit was 1971's "Watching Scotty Grow". Mac Davis wrote the song for his son Scotty, and both men joked that the boy now thought Goldsboro was his dad.
8
Had a reputation for occasional clumsiness (such as cutting his bare foot on a Rice Krispie left on the floor), which he took in stride; he told fans in the liner notes to his "Tenth Anniversary Album" that stories they'd heard about it were probably true.
9
Wore contact lenses for years, and recommended them to John Lennon when they met on tour with Roy Orbison. Unfortunately, hard lenses (the only kind available at the time) weren't exactly compatible with the jellybabies thrown by The Beatles's fans, which occasionally hit Lennon in the face and eyes, and he soon gave up on contacts.
10
Started out in a band called the Webs, who were opening for Roy Orbison on tour when he abruptly invited them to become his new backup band. His years touring and recording with Orbison prepared him for his solo career.
11
Had a million-selling country and pop smash hit, "Honey," in 1968. "Honey" is one of a select few singles to reach No. 1 on both Billboard magazine's country (three weeks) and Hot 100 (five weeks) charts.
