Celtrock you are so right ! He also did spot-on impersonations (there is one out there of him as JImmy Durante), nominated for Academy Award (if he had more time he would have earned one- he had great talent) amazing dancer (find the "Higher and Higher" KZbin post, the one where he is in a tux (there are a couple with him in a tux and one with him in blue clothes but the tux shows his dancing better). And of course- that voice - such power and soul. Pure magic to watch him - nobody out there today comes anywhere near close to his league.

This is Bobby Darin at his best, entertaining his adoring fans….. Bobby always gave 1,000 percent each and every time he went in front of the camera or on stage and never left out the smallest detail….. No matter how ill he felt at times Bobby always became a different person once he stepped out on to that stage, he strongly felt that he must always give his very best performance….. Bobby knew that he was where he was at that point in time because of his fans, he owed them for their believing in his talents, he always gave every little bit of himself, never holding back…. Bobby's strong desire to entertain from an early age was just as driven through till the end of his life….. He had this wonderful God gifted talent and had to share it with the world….. Bobby was a strong presence in the music industry leaving all others in his wake, there was no other like Bobby Darin then nor since….. Bobby Darin is one of a kind human being that took this world by storm in the late 50's, 60's and early 70's….. Bobby Darin is a legend, leaving a huge body of work, what a legacy he left behind…… Whenever Bobby sang a song by another singer he always put his stamp on it and made the song his own, this was his ability and talent……. What a true genius and master of his own destiny…… Sadly we lost him far too soon…. RIP BOBBY D !!!!!

Bobby Darrin knew he wouldn't live to be an old man. He was a cocky young man and many didn't like that fact. However, no one could ever dispute his talent. He had talent in his little toe. The man was music. Death hung over him so much that his marriage to Sandra Dee failed. But a doctor when he was young let him overhear a conversation not meant for him and so Bobby knew that whatever he did in life he had to do early. He put his heart and soul in music.
