Cried like a baby on Dec. 20, 1973, when the announcement came over the radio that Bobby had died. Also kind of a shock because alot of people knew nothing about his lifelong struggle with heart disease. Right after the announcement they played "If I Were A Carpenter", one of Bobby's greatest hits. The stars that burn the brightest seem to go out the soonest. RIP Bobby.
As a 15 year old i remember Bobby D dying at that time i really did not know much of his music as to me at that period he was more of my parents style of singing , but hearing him during the 70s and 80,s he was truly special he started off as rock n roll singer then a crooner and a folk singer in the mould of Bob Dylan or Donovan and every one these styles he mastered due to You Tube we can watch all the music and i have the single 45 Mac the Knife and will get around to buy more of his music yours other Bobby
"Dream lover" is one of my all time favourite songs. Has been for decades and is not likely to change. It's a shame he died so young and that he was so ill. Crying shame.
@@tankjohnson5857 Bobby Darin was a composer, musician and played piano, guitar, xylophone, drums and harmonica, singer with an incredible vocal range, songwriter, comedian and dramatic actor, excellent dancer, brilliant entertainer, gifted with an extraordinary natural sense of humor, with an IQ above average in fact he was a member of Mensa, chess player, actively engaged against war, racism, exploitation of child labor. With or without toupee he was an elegant, classy, charming and very very sexy man ... Is TANK JOHNSON enough for you?
The most under-appreciated performer in the last 100 years. He excelled at virtually everything. Great singer of just about all pop genres, superb musician, song writer and actor.
Trudy Jackson wow u know what his father a mobster something isn't adding up I have allways wondered why his mega hit mac the knife sings about mob hits ect.yet ALL those movies at the top of head are Bronx Tale Good fellows Casino and any mobster movie from 1959 UP was when it was released ?
Linda Tilley. Many of those who died young died as a result of substance abuse. Either drugs or alcohol or both. That wasn't the case with Bobby Darrin. He had an illness as a child which left him with a damaged heart. A great singer but he never seemed to know what his style was. When he was good few could match him.
Bobby Darin was a very beautiful gifted talented singer and actor few could match , and he and Sandra Dee made a beautiful couple that i will always miss as his songs were so special and meaningful . Rest In Peace sweet angel.What a beautiful tribute to this gifted and talenred young man . 🌹💖💖🎉
@@tankjohnson5857 Envy is a bad feeling and wears out those who feel it. Relax you cannot harm the great Darin, he shines in the firmament he cannot be touched by your mud which remains only inside you.
Bobby Darin was the cool of cool,loved his variety in styles,had such confidence! Poor guy had to breath oxygen after each show.Yet he carried on,let's see you do that!
Bobby Darrin had such charisma, when he performed he was mesmerizing , it is so sad that he had such a short time here on earth, but he accomplished more in his short life than most people He left his mark and he will always be remembered.....❤
I loved him and didn't realize just how great he was. I was so young I guess. Thanks for all this info. He is a legend and so sorry he passed so early RIP Bobby Darin
What a talented man. I could listen to him sing all day. So sad that he died at only 37. Such a cool dude and his version of " Mack the Knife " is the best, imho. Beyond the sea, dream lover and if I was a carpenter. Class. RIP.
He lived more of a life that most.He sounded like Sinatra.Sandra Dee ? OMG if we could have all been that lucky.Bobby Darin blessed us with his voice.His music still sounds current.Heaven? I know your there!......Thanks for this wonderful portrail of the legend himself.
As an adult i fell in love with singers like Bobby Darin,Frank Sinatra,and Dean Martin. How sad he died so young. When i watched Beyond the Sea i was completely taken aback about how much Kevin Spacey looks like Bobby Darin
I always had a love thing for Bobby even tho by the time I knew about him, he had been gone for a few years in the early 70s, so I waited patiently for someone to do his story, BUT felt Spacey was to old
Kevin really did a nice job of imitating Bobby in that movie, he obviously spent a lot of time listening to Bobby because he had every nuance down pat!
Oh yes Veronica, in that era, a lot of people loved Bobby, Frank and Dean. I was a big fan of Darin, as a matter of fact, I always said to my friends that Bobby Darin will be the next Chairman of the Board. For those of you who are not familiar with that era, it was William B. Williams who had a morning radio program on WNEW in New York city that assigned the last 15 minutes of his program to the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Frank Sinatra.
@@sylwagenti1765 He had a "huge" ego... he played several instruments, popular singing style and adequate movie actor... he boasted more talent than the Chairman of the Board.
I loved Kevin Spacey's bio movie. He brought Bobby Darin's memory to the masses. Though picked apart by the critics, it was still a great GREAT movie. It was a project from Spacey's heart. Another great one, Alpha 11!!!!
He was one of, if not the first, singers I listened to as a pre teen. I knew the words to all his songs and almost 60 yrs later, I still do remember him and the songs.

As a kid, I was confused by Bobby Darin. "If I Were A Carpenter" was a hit at the time, but then my Top 40 station would also play "Splish Splash" - it confused me that both of these were the same guy! But then my Dad watched Bobby's Dean Martin summer replacement show, and I was blown away. I saved every penny of my allowance and spent it at the local record shop and bought every Bobby Darin record I could find - and most of them, I had never heard! What a talented man he was!
There is a separate video of him singing Once Upon A Time, it was recorded live in London. Cannot get through the song without breaking down. Just too sad. Love and Miss you Bobby. You were so talented that Elvis came to your shows to be entertained.
A multi-talented, great performer. A musical genius evidenced by his ability to hit the ball out of the park in so many different genres of music. So many great performers during that era that make the state of popular music today, with few exceptions, look weak.
This was heartbreaking to watch😭 I'm here because I just heard Beyond The Sea on the radio, a song that I loved to listen to growing up as a child turned out there are more songs of his that I love his music and spirit are awesome and that cheeky look on his face was heavenly only goes to show it's not where you come from but where you want to go in this life and Bobby Darin sure went places
He was one of the last great entertainers' of the 20th Century. He could do it all! He had only 37 years but packed a lot of living in those years. He was also a very talented actor. Check out Captain Newman M.D. and Hell Is For Heros with Steve McQueen and the Happy Ending with Jean Simmons. He was good!!!!
He made one of the best and classiest Christmas albums ever, The Twenty-fifth Day of December With Bobby Darin, a combination of traditional Christmas hymns and traditional spirituals. Bobby sang a version of Ave Maria that will leave you in tears. He had a tremendous voice.
I never heard of Bobby Darin when I was growing up in India. Nòw I am trying to find more about him in my ripeful age of 67. Our swing group including me danced on the stage for his famous song Mack the knife last week in North East of UK. What a talented guy achieved so much within 37 years! Thank you.
Thank you for much for the videos about Gene Pitney and Del Shannon! This is music I grew up on and that is still what I prefer over all others. It is so good (and often sad) to learn what happened to my idols.
The cycle of life is not for the weak of heart. So many greats gone. Sad. "If I were a carpenter" was one of the first songs I learned , with guitar, as a kid. I was singing that song just yesterday - true.
Bobby Darin was a natural talent, he could play several instruments, act, compose music, and even had some good dance moves, at least as much as his ailing heart would let him. A bit cocky, maybe, but sometimes that's what people do to cover up their sickness. Bobby never thought he'd live to age 16, he'd had a bad bout of rheumatic fever at about age 8 that damaged the valves of his heart, but he surprised everyone and lived to age 37, but never recovered from the 2nd corrective heart surgery. But he sure made a big "splish-splash" the short time he spent with us on this earth! I wish it could have been longer, he was a good entertainer!
Wow this not only surprised me in finding out that he wrote and performed certain songs I thought were done by somebody else. A very talented man and still so very young when he died , sad...…………...
👍Wow! Way before my time, but I can appreciate his accomplishments & all of that by age 37. He looked so much older though (but everyone looked older back then I suppose) definitely an “old soul” too. I’m amazed at how he crossed over so many different genres and audiences. Gone too soon though.😔
People led normal lives, had a childhood then began working life and became responsible adults. Most married between the ages of 18 and 25, began seriously concentrating on their families, professions, trades, careers. Today personal responsibility is diminished by government regulations and a nanny state mentality yet with fewer useful government services; thus, childhood is extended into 30s, 40s and sometimes doesn't end at all.
@@tinocastro805 Thank you Tino. It's also sad to see governments behave like children, to see governments abrogate responsibility to citizens, responsibility for services such as housing, health care, clean water and so on, consequently a lot of people are homeless, unemployed, sick and without assistance to pursue career development or personal development. The nanny in a nanny state is a child, as well.
@@mirka4838 prices are insane so yeah kids live at home longer. A house in the 50s was probably less than what I got my mini van for. People weren't as health conscious either. Smoking , drinking were fine and I'm sure they didn't know about sunscreen.
Alpha 11 Thank you for putting that together. Well done. How sad is it that 44 years after his death, you can not find a single comprehensive documentary that chronicles this man's life and the mind boggling achievements he accomplished in his short 37 years? PBS beyond the song was a weak attempt in my humble opinion.
Have you seen the film on Bobby Darren by Kevin Spacey? it is really wonderful (except for a weird 15 minutes at the beginning, with the cast dancing in the street).
I just loved this video and it was so sad that he passed away so young....I was growing up qhen he was a popular singer and also when he played in the movies with His wife, we all loved Blbby Darin. Rest In peace! xxx
This cool cat is one of my heros from an early age. I liked that mack song so much that I spent 40 years learning to sing and play guitar well enough to do that song and Bobby's memory, justice. Thanks Bobby d. Love ya.
*THIS among so much more is why Bobby will be my all time #1 artist and influence EVER. I have a portrait of him from my elbow to my wrist, for over 10years been a Bobby Darin tribute artist and never have regretted any of it. -Mickey Cassotto*
Such a sad story for a very talented and gifted singer. So sad a life so young and so much success ahead of him, left this world such an early age, still so much to give! He is now singing and enjoying up there!
so sad. i remember driving around in my father's 60's comet green Valiant listening as a kid to Bobby Darien. ..he was sad then, and now still...something haunting and distant innhis articulation. nice video.👍⚡⚡⚡⚡👁
This video makes me cry, to see how someone so good can leave in the blink of an eye. It should be noted that it was very impressive to see that Mr. Bobby had a loving relationship with Mrs. Connie Francis. Well, something that we have for sure is death, and that the Lord take care of and protect the soul of a person as great as Mr. Bobby Darin was.

"Dream lover" is one of the greatest songs ever made, thank you SO much Bobby Darin!
He had it all; talent, fame, the love of millions; without good health, you have nothing.
no you don't. health IS the most precious asset and the second one is HEALTH
I actually think he was the BEST male vocalist of that era. His intonation, his vibrato, his phrasing - all immaculate!!
Randy,
I agree. For me he's the best of all time. There was nothing that man couldn't sing and sing well.
I know! When I discovered his songs, I was just so amazed!
No wayyy, paul anka is the best
But Nat King Cole tho.
Roy Orbison
His music was so good that you could play it anywhere today and people would dance and enjoy it as they did back in the day.
"Dream lover" is one of my all time favourite songs. Has been for decades and is not likely to change. It's a shame he died so young and that he was so ill. Crying shame.
I had a dream lover, back when I was a teen !!!

I just loved this video and it was so sad that he passed away so young....I was growing up qhen he was a popular singer and also when he played in the movies with His wife, we all loved Blbby Darin. Rest In peace! xxx
I found that he also sang a best version of Fly me to the moon. He is very talented! RIP
Thanks for reminding us of Him
This cool cat is one of my heros from an early age.
I liked that mack song so much that I spent 40 years learning to sing and play guitar well enough to do that song and Bobby's memory, justice.
Thanks Bobby d. Love ya.
I love you Bobby Darin, love you're songs. 1980's baby here!.
Hello Nicole, How are you doing?
Another of the best of the best!! We lost him way too soon.
I will always admire his talent, resilience, his story, and his will to live. He did never let that incident choose for him, he was beyond that
Brilliant performer.
So sad he was only 37 when he died.
No wonder Kevin Spacey played him in a major film.
Uncanny likeness.
I wondered when someone would rec. Kevin Spacey!
He is still living in our hearts
Cried when he died,,fantastic singer,and actor. Nice tribute.
What a great talent and person gone too soon! Thank you for this (what happened to) site! I learn alot from it!!!!!
He was a legend that through his music endured the test of time.
Bobby Darin will be remembered as generations pass by leaving his legacy of music 🎶 In earth
My mom introduced me to his music, but I didn't know he was a great actor, thank you!
How sad...
I'm the youngest of 10 I love this music back when! My teen brother and sister would have dance parties! Great childhood memories! 😄
*THIS among so much more is why Bobby will be my all time #1 artist and influence EVER. I have a portrait of him from my elbow to my wrist, for over 10years been a Bobby Darin tribute artist and never have regretted any of it. -Mickey Cassotto*
Such a sad story for a very talented and gifted singer. So sad a life so young and so much success ahead of him, left this world such an early age, still so much to give! He is now singing and enjoying up there!
His music and songs are so much a part of my pre teen and teen years. I had the big crush on him too. His songs bring back such memories of my youth.
Because of him, and a few others, cardiac surgery actually saves lives now.
Senseless remark.
Very nice work on this which gave me more detail about Bobby, God bless.

so sad. i remember driving around in my father's 60's comet green Valiant listening as a kid to Bobby Darien. ..he was sad then, and now still...something haunting and distant innhis articulation. nice video.👍⚡⚡⚡⚡👁
Thank you so much for this ..I am looking forward to The a Bobby Darrin Story on stage in Australia in 2018
That sounds awesome! Let us know how it turns out! Thanks, Helen!
Прекрасное исполнение талант заслушаешься как он поет благодарю.
I was soooo young but loved him!!!!
This video makes me cry, to see how someone so good can leave in the blink of an eye. It should be noted that it was very impressive to see that Mr. Bobby had a loving relationship with Mrs. Connie Francis. Well, something that we have for sure is death, and that the Lord take care of and protect the soul of a person as great as Mr. Bobby Darin was.
The world lost a great talent too early may he RIP
Listen to him sing '' Drown In My Own Tears '' , there are no words to describe how good he was
