Bobby Darin - Simple Song Of Freedom - LIVE!

Bobby Darin - Simple Song Of Freedom (Live and with a Tux) A mega star in his own right, taken way to soon from this world. He was crossing over from the nightclub circuit into the arena of folk music, where his pacifist views were clearly developing.

This song is as relevant today as when Bobby Darin wrote and sang it. Everyone should listen the the words and tell our government that this is what should be. Bobby wrote this song in 1971. Please listen.

Its not obvious, but what Bobby Darin did starting in about 1966, was ballsy. Total transformation in his style. He probably pissed off his older mainstream fans with this kind of material. But he really clearly did not care and I admire the hell out of that.

Imagine this guy, dressed in a tuxedo, looking for-all-the-world like Mr. Establishment, singing a song like this. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. He was a great entertainer and was becoming the voice of the people when he met his untimely death. There should be more like him!

This is such an amazing and powerful song. Bobby doesn't call out one group or another group. He calls out the government and world leaders. Which is what the people of especially today's United States need to hear. It's not that we want to be separated from each other, but the government sure wants us to be.

Bobby Darin, We, the people here, don't want a war.

As acclaimed as he was in his life, Bobby Darin is probably the most underrated performer ever.

Plz pray for Ukraine.

I had forgotten what a powerful song this was when Bobby released it. It still is relevant today, perhaps even more so.

Written by Bobby Darin and performed by Bobby Darin. What a talented soul he was !

I am.62 yrs. old now,(2013), and have sung Bobby Darin's song of freedom for most of my life, almost as a comforting mantra. The song is so incredibly beautiful and with such meaning and always gave warmth to my heart. To honour Bobby , I love singing and playing it on my acoustic guitar for people. God bless Mr. Darrin, and I thank him so much for this touching song. Wish so much that he could have lived longer. His song here sure did give me life.

This song is a gem. And this should be played today and daily. Most people have forgotten what is freedom!

[@agataf1320]

Beautiful song, always current unfortunately. Bobby Darin you were and will always remain the greatest of all, a great artist, a true man and a beautiful person. Forever in my heart.

Wow. !! Bobby that was a powerful song and message. I am so sorry that we lost you when you when you were so young. Just know that you are still loved and remembered by millions of your fans. Rest In Peace My Friend.

I love Bobby Darin, he has been my inspiration in almost everything I do, I feel so, so, sorry for him when he is singing, he needed oxygen, he was not well, just look at his eyes, and his face, his eyes are red, puffy, and half shut, he is only in his thirties and he looks like he is 48 or 50. You can tell he is in pain and sick, I pray that he is in Heaven, rest in piece Bobby, you are so special to me.

[@tomg6156]

what a talent.....what a shame to lose someone of this talent at 37. this is my favorite song he did. so fitting for today!

[@onemexican1973]

just brilliant....so much this guy gave us.....and left us way to early, but is not life cruel like that. this man is singing for humanity....

[@bethmcavoy8062]

Bobby had his first open heart surgery in Feb 1971, this is Jan 1972. He had to take oxygen offstage between songs. He got his own NBC variety show in the summer of 1972. It lasted until May 1973. Bobby had his 2nd open heart surgery in Dec 1973. He died in the recovery room afterward. Bobby was a brave, wise soul. Gone too soon.

[@KillingAriella]

This song gets me every. Single. Time. Brilliant.

[@capergal4962]

What a great gift Bobby had, no screaming out a song, it just flowed with such feeling, I just love it. It was never played enough. I grew up with Bobby's songs, he was a genius.
