Bobby Darin- Drown In My Own Tears

[@johnnyp2898]

The more I listen , the more I realise Bobby Darin is the best singer the world has ever seen , or should it be heard , absolutely fantastic

[@mikeysuzefour]

Often imitated, but will never be duplicated = Bobby Darin

[@grandye20]

The BEST rendition of this song EVER!! Bobby singing from the depths of his soul with that matchless voice!! Love him!!

[@MrsMorse]

Wow, talk about singing from the soul. Incredible. With this rendition, Bobby owns this song.

[@missbritt288]

one of the best covers of this song - Bobby sings the song in his own voice , and doesnt try to impersonate Ray Charles's way of singing too much - he had a deep sultry voice which is used to the greatest effect for this slow ballad .

[@jasminefujiwara2671]

Bobby takes a song & makes it special & better!

[@TheWhitewatermom]

Wow, he was amazing in every genre he sang! What a wonderful song to hear him sing today of all days.

[@edithsymmans3273]

I agree totally that Bobby Darin is the only singer I know off that sings from the depths of his soul giving so much in his delivery. Everything he touches is total perfection 1,000 percent, a genius. Love everything he has done. Bobby is the worlds best ever all round entertainer, no one comes anywhere near close.

[@MrsMorse]

This is perfection. Bobby torches this song from the depths of a soul in love despair. I think he was playing the piano as well. There's never been another to equal him; never will.

[@timetowakeup6302]

You know it

[@joangullett4]

Roger Kellaway played piano

[@michelleregis6181]

Isn't this just the best, Bobby singing a great blues number with a wonderfull piano Accompaniment!

[@lyallg8112]

This is one of those arrangements which is a piece of heaven for many of us by the sound of it. God only knows why Darin is still virtually unknown in Australia. This arrangement gives me goosebumps from beginning to end. I feel so justified to say that if I could only ever see/hear one singer live, it would be Bobby Darin. Yep he gets in to your core/soul/heart, or whatever that thing is that makes a lump emerge in your throat, or makes your heart feel like it's gonna jump right outta your chest, or your skin and scalp start tingling. (Usually all 3 simultaneously).

[@zills2]

yes Lyall. while naming our gritty blue-eyed soul tunes on the group, I just listened to this again..full blast for the hood!

[@mikeysuzefour]

@@zills2 Wish I could blast this into some Toronto hoods - They might dump their idiotic hip-hop crap altogether and embrace this type of soulful blues music.

[@lyallg8112]

Mikey_Suze Four .... we could give them a playlist, and not just by Bobby.

[@WarlordFeyd]

Great share Sir Alex--Bobby Darin never ceased to amaze me with his soulful lyrics or his passionate voice over the years--Truly special and ty Frank for this upload!

[@biengood]

From a Kraft Music Hall special in January, 1968, this is a titanic performance by Bobby Darin with inspired piano playing by Roger Kellaway. What a gift. Thanks.

[@hategreed1]

Wondering if anybody has any idea if this special will be released on DVD?

[@lyallg8112]

biengood .... so, definately Roger Kellaway on piano? Some thought it could have been Bobby. But, I think it sounds like an incredibly accomplished pianist. Wouldn’t a visual be so fantastic!

[@OldTimeVoice]

Thank you Alex for sharing a very good rare song of Bobby's with us.. Great stuff 5*****+ .........Colin.

[@estertoribio]

Full of emotion! It would be really a treat if there is a video of this live performance?

[@zills2]

jeez, It cannot get better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikeysuzefour]

12 haters disagreed @zills2--Sad to see am I right?

[@davidinnes5570]

Never will be sang like this again

[@annlyon.2040]

Oh yes they did !!

[@zills2]

Perfect.....sooooo perfect.

[@judymybaby]

Great tune - thanks to Alex for sharing!

[@DavidDiCarlo]

Darin at his best!

[@mikeysuzefour]

*Drown in my own tears...*

[@shaneleebrown]

How daring was a 7 minute song on a TV variety show? remarkable. and far better than the Atco version

[@zorinabakah8182]

Gosh, a masterpiece. Ray Charles influenced but Bobby's own soul.

[@ukp42]

Thanks to Alex for the share great singer =) 5* Love from Scotland

Good job with the timing and lyrics @Christopher Vocal!

[@fannylablanche9952]

merci ! travail " au poil " ! :)

[@madgemom1]

Beautiful ❤️

[@lyallg7925]

God, I wish someone could/would clean this up. I’ve listened to it countless times…. A visual of the live show would be amazing too.

[@butchzamora]

This song has brings out the similarity of Bobby Darin and Ray Charles country and soul roots.

[@zills2]

sharing!!

[@fannylablanche9952]

jolie photo....

[@shaneleebrown]

does anyone know what show this is from?

[@shaneleebrown]

The song DOES appear on the Sing Ray Charles album but in a very different arrangement.

[@lyallg8112]

shaneleebrown but, this one is sooooo much better.

[@hategreed1]

Image at 7:07, RWC so resembles John Lennon. Not the only time we've seen this. They had so much wisdom, and talent, in common.

[@duzntmatter5926]

hategreed1 looks like Julian Lennon to me

[@john1606ful]

piease don't even try to compare lennon with Bobby D ,it's like the master craftsman and the schoolboy apprentice , Bobby was number 1 , to me , nobody comes close , and I'm a big Elvis fan
