    A copy of this video needs to be placed in a secure vault a mile below the ground. This must be preserved for all time. It's that good. It's that important. It's truly amazing.

    Bobby's whole body was a drum machine. He sets a deep grove, sings a duet, cues the flute, and brings in the organist. What a musician!

      Are you SERIOUS? Cuing the flutist and organist, who are professionals and know when they are to enter, is a sign of a great musician? You're easy to please.

      Bobby was a seriously talented musician. He was proficient at playing the guitar, drums, piano, and harmonica. I believe Darin was the most versatile entertainer of the 20th century. What he accomplished in his brief 37 years is nothing short of Legendary. Singer (rock, jazz, blues, R&B, pop standards, big band, swing, country western, folk, funk, soul/gospel) musician, performer, actor, impressionist, songwriter, producer, arranger, entrepreneur, variety tv show host, activist. The man truly did it all, and he did it all so well. One of a kind, Bobby.

      My comment had nothing to do with whether or not Bobby was a great musician. My comment had solely to do with his stated criteria for judging Bobby's talent. @@timetowakeup6302

      He was very ill when this was filmed. I’ve always had a major soft spot for him because if it weren’t for modern medicine I’d have suffered the same fate. I was a strep carrier when I was a kid. My doctor took out my tonsils & put me on a month long course of strong antibiotics before it reached the point of turning into rheumatic fever and/or scarlet fever. Taking antibiotics for years trying to fight off the strep has ruined my gut biome though so I didn’t get off Scott free. Now whenever I take antibiotics they make me really sick including the occasional c-diff which is a nightmare. I’d be dead by now if it weren’t for modern medicine.
