	Curtola, Bobby
		After singing in high school with a pop group, Bobby and the Bobcats, he made his first record, 'Hand in Hand with You,' in 1959 for the Tartan label (owned by the Port Arthur songwriters Dyer and Basil Hurdon, who became Curtola's managers and wrote all of his hits).
		Curtola, who received a Juno Award in 1965 as best male singer, made over 50 singles and 15 LPs (for Tartan, Capitol, Tuff, RCA, CTL, Pickwick, Tee Vee International, etc) before his recording career waned in the mid-1970s.
		Curtola toured widely in Canada until 1967, his performances often creating hysteria among his young audiences.

	Hillmans and Dovermen with Bobby Curtola
		Bobby's band for his previous wildly successful prairie tour had been Winnipeg's Chad Allan and the Reflections (later to become the Guess Who) and it seemed logical that he hire another band from the West when he returned for a follow-up prairie tour in '64-'65.
		The close of this tour, however, presented the Brandon band with a difficult group decision: would they carry on with Bobby as a full-time road band or return to their more traditional careers -- and girl friends -- waiting for them back in the Wheat City area.
		The decision was to stay and another Brandon band -- The Challengers (soon renamed The Martells) -- was hired to become Bobby's back-up band for the next two and a half years.

		Turning Bobby Darin album covers into Kevin Spacey-as-Bobby Darin covers was key for production designer Andrew Laws, who used the LPs to visually recap the rise and fall of the "Mack the Knife" crooner in the Spacey-directed biopic.
		As of this writing, Sandra Dee, Dodd's mother and Bobby's wife, has not seen the film, but Dodd said he's getting a "special screening for her." Steve Blauner, who was Darin's manager (and is portrayed excellently by John Goodman in the film) and also disagreed with Spacey singing Darin, was also pleased with the film.
		Bobby Darin isn't as known and revered because I think he died too young," Spacey told Reuters before a gala screening in Toronto.
