Supremes and Bobby Darin

[@MrDisneyCollector]

Bobby Darin just sends me over the edge. I love his voice, his moves, how he improvises. Absolutely one of my favorite singers of all time. Diana has such an incredible voice, so clean and echos almost, naturally. amazing number.

[@keylla74]

Maravilhosos❤️

[@SWDetboy]

Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Diana Ross, Bobby Darin..CLASS, TALENT..Legends in Popular Music. Miss Flo & Mr. Darin,, you both are So Missed.

[@manuelaffonso2191]

And Count Basie. What could go wrong ?

[@SWDetboy]

@@manuelaffonso2191 OMG,, that's right! How could I forget! And now Lady Supreme Mary Wilson is SO Missed...

[@patrickryan1515]

@@SWDetboy Diana stands alone. Sad. Together they were all so GREAT! And we were blessed to have been there at the height of their careers.

[@jebeja]

styminho, Darrin sure did understand black and white music, and even marched with 'MLK'. I LOVED seeing him on t.v. back in the day, and his 'chemistry' with black singers was amazing to watch. Talent like his is very sadly lacking these days, and his kind of music will NEVER be repeated again in our life time. Truly one of the greats.

[@lastrada52]

Damn Darin is so freaking smooth and magical. The Supremes were at their best. People who ridicule have no clue what a legend Darin was in the music industry -- even Sinatra and Presley loved this guy.

[@christienelson1437]

True, Bobby was so smooth and let others Shine making his light so bright. God bless him.♥️🌅🎇💕🎆

[@Louie_The_Dago]

@@christienelson1437 "Let others shine"..like when Darin just handed over a guaranteed hit, Danke Shoen, to newcomer Wayne Newton. Probably one of the most selfless acts in the music industry history.

[@johnlewis9745]

John LaStrada. Apparently, Sinatra was jealous of his ability and success.

[@arlenecerf8833]

@@johnlewis9745 idk why Sinatra had to be jealous of Darrin - without Sinatra there’d be no Bobby Darrin.. Bobby Darrin was young enough to be Franks son as Frank is nearly 22 years older than Bobby

[@johnlewis9745]

@@arlenecerf8833 It could well be that Sinatra’s best days were gone and Darin was still getting better. Sinatra wasn’t a nice man so maybe he was jealous. Whether he used some of Sinatra’s technique I don’t know, but Sinatra was not an original either. Nobody is ! Anyway, whilst I respect your views I don’t agree with them.

The most underated singer song writer ever to grace the Planet Bobby miss you so

[@youyong28]

He was never underrated but, like most singers, slowly disappeared with the passage of time.

[@robjones2408]

Bobby Darin was a class act. Holding hands with Diana Ross, at the height of segregation took enormous courage. The sponsors of the show would've hated it. Like his idol Frank Sinatra, Bobby loathed racism. Great stuff.

[@Dee530Luvz2BeLoved5555]

[@helenturner6971]

I listen & look at this at least once a week!! It is just so beautifully done!!!

[@johnlewis9745]

If that be the case why did Sinatra try to dissuade Sammy Davis from marrying Mae Britt ? Dean Martin, on the other hand, told him to marry her if they loved each other.

[@hcwollaston]

Bobby and Supremes sing, Count Basie swings. Result: unique and super!

[@laurencegladwell529]

One of the most underrated singers ever

[@gunorijssel7987]

You must be out of your mind: 'underrated'?? By WHO...not by the public and certainly NOT by the MUSICIANS. In case you didn't know: SINATRA built his TOTAL STAGE ACT around the way of presentation of BD. As a TOTAL PACKAGE I rate him higher than SINATRA. But then of course FS had this MAFIA OMNI PRESENT PERSONALITY. As far as MUSIC EARS are concerned I put BOBBY easily as the NUMBER TWO behind NAT KING COLE. Sinatra is for ME number THREE!! Again: BD HAS NEVER BEEN AN UNDERRATED ARTIST!!

[@gunorijssel7987]

[@char7488]

Don't agree he was the "most" underrated singers, but let's face but, BD is not as easily recognizable today as FS, even though BD was a much better, more talented entertainer..actor, songwriter, musician,and singer..BD could sing any genre of music...how many singers do you know of back then or today that can do that?? Most of today's pop singers are a joke!! IMHO

[@sixstrings2]

@@gunorijssel7987 Bobby Darin was an artist, a musician he played I think 7 instruments and wrote most of his songs.. Sinatra was a singer he didn't write songs he just sang them. I don't know who had better vocal range, but in my opinion Sinatra had a better voice, a better tone, Bobby was just a better Artist...

[@mrcash9226]

Bobby Darin was the greatest entertainer I have every seen I was blessed to see him at the copa in 72 he came out and after the first song people all around my table were comparing him to Sinatra I say he was better then frank on a up tempo number one black or white had the rhythm and time like Bobby Sammy Davis once said I’m black and he has the rhythm he also said Bobby was one guy he’d hate to follow on stage one day I had a video of Bobby singing I’ve got you under my skin one of my sons friend was over and saw it and said mr caggiano who’s that guy doing sinatra better then Sinatra now on ballads he was at 37 getting in the same league as frank I could go on and on the man could sing any kind of song Phil caggiano

[@eugenealpert9574]

This is from the Rodgers and Hart Special from 1967. Included the Mamas and the Papas and Petula Clark. Too bad the soundtrack was never released, although the Supremes did an album of R and H songs. It was a nice way of introducing these classic songs of R and H to the next generation. A classy show.

[@faycraig7248]

Bobby Darin gone to soon loved him remember at the time he was so brash and arrogant but when u find out how he wanted to do it all as quick as possible knowing the state of his health u understood he was so damn good great voice and handsome RIP Bobby

[@BAREBACKER]

the 3 voices in unison was perfection. theyb were still very much a group at this time rather than a lead and 2 back ups

[@lasnubes93]

OMG Bobby can do anything, his talent shines no matter what. Love this combo thanks for sharing.

[@jamesodonnell3905]

Bobby Darin !!! what a talent probably one of best ever sad he's gone but I'm sure never forgotten

[@JBlingBling03]

This was so wonderful. Everyone was on the right beat. The Supremes at a faster pace and Bobby at a slow and smoother pace.I like the way that he was facing them as well as if he was taking it all in while admiring their individual voices and beauty He was sooo cool. How long he held that note at the end was amazing!!!!

Bobby Darin and The Supremes.... His voice is one of the smoothest since the advent of recordings. Can you imagine what he would have done on some digital equipment, not that it could be any better. It is amazing.

[@SauraPlesio]

Wonderful performance!

[@bethbartlett5692]

Bobby D - the Consulate Professional, Gentleman, Star - ethical man with a balance of Ego-Mind/Higher Mature Mind. In the era - he shunned in his CLASS and Lifted the Bar - giving obvious Respect to these Ladies of Talent ...and they were obviously enjoying living in the moment their well earned opportunities - sharing stage with the only Artist that had the talents to be the equal of Sinatra... My favorite of the genre' Bobby D

[@edithsymmans3273]

Coming upon this tonight just reminded me just how wonderful this was when it was first aired on television. Bobby Darin just swings and watching him snap his fingers is awesome. The end of the song is great and the length of time he held that note is mind blowing when you consider that fact that Bobby had health problems and suffered from breathlessness at times. BOBBY DARIN YOU ARE THE GREATEST EVER RIP !!!!!!!!.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Yes, despite his (physical) heart issues even when young, he epitomized the Italian artistic aim (from the Renaissance) of "sprezzatura"--making the difficult look easy.

See how Bobby does his head drop at the end after the 3 Supremes and it is exactly (like EXACTLY) on beat with the last beat of the drum. That man was a musical genius the way he could feel the beat and feel rhythm. He was never off. He was always perfection. Incredible!!!! A musical God!

My pick as BEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIMES - BOBBY D! The hippest, most giftes, smoothest, and sexy (musically speaking - best stage presence) and sexy too, the only kniwn star to ever have what it takes to be the category cobsidered a possible to compete w Sinatra - also great, but Bobby wins and would have overall given the sufficient time. Thanks for this post - a clear demonstration of his AMAZING ABILITIES and The Supremes, pretty tight too! Great Post!

Very early in the career of the Supremes. Florence Ballard was still alive.

[@zacharyjohnson6453]

Bobby sure did break barriers because he never saw eyesight towards race and he himself had a diverse style within his persona and his musical taste and if you think about it.. he was kinda considered to be an honorary black-man. The reason why I say that is because he had the kinda groove that most people of his generation didn't have because while they were cold and stiff he was hot and a-moovin' and a-groovin' to the music like it was no one's business and he did it with profound attitude :) Plus he got Sammy Davis to play at the Copacobana 1960 even though the club owner said no, it was Bobby's idea of overcoming outdated policy :)
