"He started his career as a songwriter for Connie Francis. He recorded his first million-selling single, "Splish Splash", in 1958. That was followed by "Dream Lover", "Mack the Knife", and "Beyond the Sea", which brought him worldwide fame. In 1962 he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film, Come September, co-starring his first wife, actress Sandra Dee. During the 1960s, he became more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic presidential campaign. He was present at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Robert Kennedy's assassination in June 1968. During the same year, he discovered the woman who had raised him was his grandmother, not his mother as he thought, and learned that the woman he thought was his sister was actually his mother. Those events deeply affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.[citation needed] Although he made a successful comeback (in television) in the early 1970s, his health was beginning to fail following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. The knowledge of his vulnerability had always spurred him on to use his musical talent while still young. He died at the age of 37 after a heart operation in Los Angeles." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Darin BTW, he was Connie Francis' soul mate, but her father told Darrin to take a hike (and he was in the Mafia) because he feared that if Connie married Darrin, she would give up her singing career.

Bobby was a massive talent, and could really sing. He was superb with Sinatra style swing, and great with pop like Splish Splash. He was also a fair actor and made three magical movies with his wife Sandra Dee which are still favourites of mine. 'Come September' with Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida is simply a brilliant film. He tragically had a congenital heart defect which cost him his life in his early thirties. Actually, this number was a composition by a French vocalist, Charles Trenet, and originally called La Mer (The Sea), and it was the flip side of 'Mack The Knife'.

He could write anything, listen to his song “18 Yellow Roses” “Clementine” etc…you can’t go wrong with any of his songs. He died way too soon.

Even though this was a couple decades before my time (released the year I was born), in the 80's this song was special to me. On patrol on a sub in the Atlantic, listening to it would make me think of my wonderful, beautiful wife who'd be waiting for me to come back from patrol. "We'll meet, beyond the shore, we'll kiss just as before". Would look forward to the return and seeing her again. And that first long kiss after 3 months is still a fond memory that puts a smile on my face 40 years later.

If you wanna see a magical performance, look up his duet with Petula Clark singing the song All I have to do is Dream..
