Bobby Burgess, popularly known as Soundtrack and an acclaimed actor in the United States, is projected to have a net worth ranging between $100,000 to $1 million by 2024. With an illustrious career in the entertainment industry, Burgess has left an indelible mark through his remarkable performances and contributions to the world of soundtracks. As an established actor, Burgess has managed to amass substantial wealth, and his net worth is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.
Growing up in Southern California, Burgess started performing at age five, which included dancing, singing and playing the accordion. In 1955 he was selected as one of the original Mouseketeers by Walt Disney to appear on his new ABC television series, The Mickey Mouse Club, giving young Burgess his first taste of Celebrity. He also guest starred on The Donna Reed Show as a suitor of Mary Stone (Shelley Fabares). Burgess attended Southern California Military Academy in Long Beach for his elementary and junior high school.
When the series ended in 1959, Burgess returned to a normal teenager's life, completing high school. He then began attending Long Beach State University where he became a member of Sigma Pi fraternity. While there, he and his childhood friend (and dancing partner) Barbara Boylan entered a Calcutta dance contest held by Lawrence Welk and his orchestra based on the hit song of the same name. They won the contest and first prize was an appearance on The Lawrence Welk Show, which appeared nationally on ABC.
After their initial appearance, Burgess and Boylan continued to guest on the maestro's show for the next few weeks, either dancing to Calcutta or to the orchestra's next hit song Yellow Bird. The positive fan response led to Welk hiring the dance couple as permanent members of the show, which was described by the Maestro as having created a job for themselves. Over the course of the show's run, first on ABC and later in syndication; Burgess had three dance partners: Barbara Boylan from 1961–67 and was a temporary fill-in for a few shows in 1979, Cissy King (1967–78), and Elaine Balden (1979–82). He did song-and-dance numbers with Arthur Duncan and Jack Imel and co-hosted, with Mary Lou Metzger, wraparound segments on The Lawrence Welk Show's PBS reruns in 2010.
He married Kristin Floren, the daughter of Welk Accordionist Myron Floren on Valentine's Day (February 14), 1971. The couple today lives in Hollywood Hills and are the parents of four children.
