I only have Mack the Knife and Beyond the Sea on compilation albums. I'd love to get something that's all Bobby Darin.DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-1120267829604134472005-07-01T21:30:00.000-04:002005-07-01T21:30:00.000-04:00You're back!

I've read the book "Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee" by their son, Dodd Darin. So I knew a lot of Bobby's life story already. The essential facts and timeline are in the movie ;-)Rachel Kovacinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461442594452166023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-1120230639995092192005-07-01T11:10:00.000-04:002005-07-01T11:10:00.000-04:00Hey!

I know a lot of his music, but had no clue about any of his life. Fascinating life he led.

How could I have forgotten "Charad...And "Charade"! How could I have forgotten "Charade"?<BR/><BR/>A lot of Bobby Darin's appeal is that his music is so diverse. He recorded every style that was around at the time: rock'n'roll, swing, jazz, blues, country&western, folk...it's really hard to get bored when listening to him, because he does so many different things.Rachel Kovacinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461442594452166023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-1119016571235247462005-06-17T09:56:00.000-04:002005-06-17T09:56:00.000-04:00Oooooh, a possible new convert!

Bwahahahahaha!<BR/><BR/>Er, I mean, try to find "Mack the Knife" (my #1 fave song of all time!), "Beyond the Sea", "Don't Rain on My Parade", "Good-bye, Charlie", "18 Yellow Roses", "Happy", and "What a Difference a Day Made".
