	Bobby Darin
		Darin's choice proved to be a good one as "Mack The Knife" went on to be a million-seller and effectively raised Darin to new status as a "serious singer", comparing favourably with Frank Sinatra.
		Darin appeared in Las Vegas with George Burns in 1959, and at the age of 23, was performing at many major night clubs in the country, such as The Flamingo, The Sands and The Hilton in Las Vegas, the Cloister in Los Angeles and the Copacabana in New York.
		Darin proved that he was a talented actor and appeared in thirteen motion pictures and was nominated for a Oscar for his outstanding performance in the film "Captain Newman M.D." in 1963.

	Bobby Darin / Bobby Darin Show
		Darin had several big hits as a teen idol in the late-fifties, and 'Mack the Knife' gave him a new career as a Vegas headliner in the early-mid Sixties.
		His triumphant Vegas comeback made Bobby Darin a hot property again, and a natural to replace Dean Martin, the ultimate TV lounge-lizard, for his show's 1972 hiatus.
		Bobby Darin practically invented the smooth Las Vegas lounge-singer persona in the early sixties, and it translated well to television a decade later.

		Darin really cut his eye teeth as a performer at the Copacabana, where he was a headline perfomer.
		Darin was politically active, which was unusual for performers at the time, and it was not unusual for Darin to introduce Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
		Darin was by this time divorced, and was deeply affected when he learned that the woman he always thought of as his sister was really his biological mother.

		When Darin had his first hits in the late '50s, he was a teen idol of sorts, albeit a teen idol with much more talent and mature command than the typical singer in that style.
		Darin may indeed have been far hipper and more politically aware than the average nightclub act, covering tunes by Dylan and the Rolling Stones, participating in a 1965 civil rights march to Alabama, and penning some Dylan-influenced songs of his own in the late '60s.
		Afflicted with a rheumatic heart, Darin was always aware that his time might be limited, and he died near the end of 1973 during open-heart surgery.

		It doesn't seem accurate to say that this was the true Bobby Darin, shedding his show-biz skin for something that came to him more naturally; in 1967, the same year he covered Jagger-Richards' "Back Street Girl," he also recorded material for an album entitled Bobby Darin Sings Doctor Dolittle.

Bobby respected bold investigative reporting and admired courage to challenge the powerful.

		Darin was elevated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, introduced by Dick Clark.

		Bobby asked me to be his agent, but while I considered his offer, his health declined.
		Bobby was the youngest-ever headliner at the prized Sands Hotel in Las Vegas (where I was a busboy and waiter, 1962-63).
		Bobby's entire life was filled with the cruel knowledge he was "running out of time." Today the gifted, dynamic entertainer would surely be a superstar.

		Though Darin didn't have the poignant and unmatched ability of Sinatra to phrase a lyric, his uptempo songs are nearly as good as the Chairman of the Board.
		Darin was hailed as a brilliant performer from industry giants as diverse as Johnny Mercer, Perry Como and Henry Mancini on the one hand, and Neil Young, Rod Stewart and Elvis Presley on the other.
		Bobby Darin could sing any kind of song and make it sound like he was born to sing it---rock, jazz, standards, folk, gospel---you name it.

	Bobby Darin biographer David Evanier interview/Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician
		Bobby was not an exploiter of women, so I come down more on the side of thinking that he had genuine feelings for her.
		Darin, on the other hand, was conflicted because he was making enormous amounts of money from one end of the political spectrum of the era he performed in, when his heart lay in another.
		Bobby was never reconciled to anything, and, unlike the scene in the death scene in the film, he died a miserable death.

	Bobby Darin
		I was born in the Bronx and so was Bobby Darin which is the last similarity we have between us except that I liked his records and I also recognised in him the need to break out.
		A lot of people think Bobby changed with success but he was exactly the same character when he was unknown as when he was the biggest star in America 3 or 4 years later.
		Darin was taken on as a singer with 2 weeks in Talahoe and then 4 weeks at the Sahara, Las Vegas.

		Darin hits like "Splish Splash," the lovely "If I Were a Carpenter," and "Beyond the Sea" are included, along with the inevitable "Mack the Knife" (which is tacked onto the end and appears to come from another performance entirely) and a variety of other familiar tunes.
		This is an uncut tape Darin made for NBC in '73, and he exudes so much energy throughout that it's hard to believe he was so ill at the time, and that 9 months later he would be gone from this earth.
		Bobby Darin's energy is absolutely remarkable in his last recorded performance before his death.

	Bobby Darin / The Bobby Darin Show Part Two : TVParty!
		Bobby, who was unquestionably the consummate performer, would incorporate false exits and "bows" in the show so he could duck briefly backstage and suck on an oxygen mask for a few seconds before returning to the stage.
		When Bobby cut back his schedule, most of us went to work for Tony Orlando who idolized Bobby and did a tribute to him in his act.
		Bobby never slighted any of them, sometimes even inviting them backstage to his dressing room and talking to them in his underwear while he was changing clothes.

		Bobby Darin: Seeing is Believing provides footage of 20 television performances recorded while Darin was at the height of his artistic powers (and near the end of his life).
		This quibble aside, Bobby Darin was a fabulously talented performer who crammed into a romantically short 37 years a resume of performance art rivaling the artistic output of the short-lived Classical and Romantic composers.
		Bobby Darin: Seeing is Believing was compiled by official Bobby Darin archivist Jimmy Scalia from live performances with the blessing of his Estate.

		Bobby Darin would never become the Sinatra he imagined, but Sinatra would also never have the variety of talents to the extent Bobby Darin had.

	Bobby Darin CD's
		And, once again, the vaunted Darin versatility surfaces, for this is the jazziest album of his career, a mixture of uptempo and ballad numbers handled with equal aplomb by the legend.
		Darin seems to be acutely aware of the power of lifting one’s voice in song, evidenced by the upbeat tempo and constant accompaniment of vocal chorus.
		Darin would revisit the folk genre with great success with “If I Were A Carpenter.” While that tune and the 1966 album of the same name are well known, listening to this CD confirms that Darin was on to something years earlier.

		A swooning study of "Mack the Knife" singer Bobby Darin (Spacey) specifically, and his relationship with his wife Sandra Dee (Bosworth).
		Rather, what the movie is about is capturing the energy and drive of Darin himself and, perhaps most important, the urgency with which he lived his life.
		Darin knew from a very young age that his life would likely be cut short due to a heart condition.

		Instead of the Darin stuff and the interview with Bobby Darin's manager, they list "exclusive bonus musical performances by Kevin Spacey." I don't know if that means the Darin things aren't going to be in the DVD or not.
		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 : The Curtain Falls: Live at the Flamingo
		In addition to the unique qualities of an unheard vintage recording, Bobby Darin had also cited this run -- at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas -- to be his last lengthy tour or nightclub engagement due to increasing health concerns.
		The aptly titled "Comedy Routine" features several impersonations by Darin as set to "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)." However, when introducing the title cut, Darin is somber, leading to an emotional climax -- not only for this performance, but for a brilliant live career as well.
