Bobby Sherman, once the heartthrob of the late 1960s, chose a different path, transitioning from a teen idol to a lifesaver. Rising to fame with hits like ‘Little Woman,’ Sherman’s popularity soared, gracing lunchboxes and magazine covers worldwide.

In a 1996 interview, Sherman reflected on his commercial success, calling the merchandise featuring his face “a collector’s item.” Amid his teen idol era, he recorded albums, achieved gold and platinum singles, and starred in the TV series ‘Here Comes the Brides’ alongside David Soul.

However, in 1974, a guest appearance on the medical drama ‘Emergency!’ sparked a transformative moment. Trained in CPR, Sherman felt a calling to help others, stating, “If I’d be driving down the street and there was an accident…I’d help.”

In 1992, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as an EMT, eventually becoming a Captain. Sherman found fulfillment in saving lives, expressing, “There’s not a better feeling in the world than when you’re responsible for saving someone’s life.”

Despite a brief return to the music scene in the late ’90s, Sherman continued his public service. From 1999 to 2010, he served as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff. Currently, as an EMT-D officer for the LAPD, Sherman, alongside his wife, operates a foundation supporting education and music for underprivileged youth in Ghana. Launched in 2011, The Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation aims to break barriers hindering children’s academic progress.
