At the age of sixteen Vinton played for the first time with his band in clubs around Pittsburgh. With the money he earned he could study at Duquesne University finance, where he music studied and graduated with a degree in musical composition. In his time at Duquesne, he became proficient in playing all instruments where his band using them: piano , clarinet , saxophone , trumpet , drums and oboes .

After recently having served in the US Army, Vinton had in 1960 signed to Epic Records as a bandleader. After two unsuccessful albums and several singles Epic seemed about to stand to pull the plug. Just then Vinton scored his first hit single, titled Roses Are Red (My Love). It was four weeks to 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962 . His biggest hit is undoubtedly Blue Velvet, which also became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963 .

Twenty-three years later called David Lynch his film Blue Velvet to the number of Vinton. In 1990, the number climbed to the top of the charts in Britain after it was used in an advertisement for skin cream Nivea .

In 1964, Vinton had two No. 1 hits, "There! I've Said It Again" and " Mr. Lonely ". Harmony Korine called her film Mister Lonely from 2007 to the last number, and now it is the basis for Akons hit Lonely . ==[Discography  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);"><span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">[Studio  Albums <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">]  === ===Live albums <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Compilation Albums <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Single  Edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">This list is missing If that's all I can, which probably was issued only in the Netherlands and Belgium. ===Radio 2 Top 2000 <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p class="first-paragraph" style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:15px;">
