Arguably, Vinton's most famous song is 1963's "Blue Velvet," originally a minor hit for Tony Bennett in 1951, that also spent three weeks at the number one positions in "Billboard," "Cash Box," and "Record World" Magazines. In 1986, 23 years later, David Lynch named his movie "Blue Velvet" after the song. In 1990, "Blue Velvet" reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, after being featured in a Nivea commercial. The 1990 reissue also hit number 3 in the Irish Singles Chart and number 7 in Australia.
