I love this handsome, multi-talented man whose song "Beyond the Sea" always brings tears to my eyes. Such a mega-talented performer whose voice could lend itself to any musical style. RIP Bobby Darin, you did it all and there is no one who comes close to your ability.

Bobby Darin & Sandra Dee forever

Bobbie Darin is before my time as I am the same age as Dodd, his son. I have heard of him but never saw him perform. I am watching footage here and... Wow! What a true talent and showman he was. It's fascinating to watch him. I love his personality and tenacity. I was sad to learn of both Bobby and Sandy's individual stories and the demise of their marriage and physical decline, then deaths. Dodd was so loving to get the true story out in his way.

Natural voice and heart. Rhythm falls all around him. Astonishing man. Thank you

how anyone could dislike this is beyond me. he was really great and gone too soon.

Dodd Darin is so awesome. He protects his parents' legacy. The book he wrote about Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. Dodd also is the mere image of his father Bobby Darin. It's almost eerie. I have always wondered if Dodd sings or acts? Does anyone know? Cheers!

Darin was a singer's singer. A class act and a smooth, cool style. I miss that voice.

He was the consummate showman, he could do it all. He accomplished so much during his short life on this earth. I am in awe of his incredible talent. Love and miss you so much Bobby Darin😢💕

[@robertdattilo7381]

He has Jackie Wilson, Jimmie Cagney, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, James Brown all wrapped up in him. He moves, sings, dances, croons, groans all together with such ease you take it for granted watching him. There has not been any like him in all the time people have been singing and performing.
