Anyone here a fan of this amazing singer/performer?

He is definitely my favorite of all the standards singers, even above Sinatra and Martin. In my opinion his versatility outshines Sinatra easily. It is unfortunate that he lived such a short life and we were unable to experience more of what he could have offered.

Totally the most amazing singer, songwriter, performer, actor. You name it and he did it and did it amazingly well.
I wish that he were still with us to see what he would surprise and delight us with next.
He was a true renaissance man. He wanted to do it all and as far as I'm concerned the man is a legend. I just wish more people would get to know his body of work.
He paved the way for so many big stars.
He is desperately missed by all of us that love his work and the man himself. He was the definition of cool.
I wish I could have called him a friend.

Bobby had/has no peer. Singer, songwriter, musician, inmpersonator, stand up comedian, actor, composer, master showman. He was an electrying performer. We can add to that social activist, humanatarian. He was an exceptional human being. He is the legendary Bobby Darin. I'll always love him.

Anyone remember Bob Darin?  Bobby wanted badly to be seen as more than a lounge lizard, so he grew his hair out, grew a bike mustache, traded the seersucker suit for faded blue jeans and started singing protest songs about 5 years after protest songs had gone out of fashion.  The blue hairs showed up in Vegas expecting Mack and got Blowin' in the Wind.  

Interesting fact, Bobby Darin actually had loved folk music and helped pre-Byrds Jim McGuinn and pre-Youngbloods Jesse Colin Young get gigs at folk houses in and around LA.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I'm giving this a bump. I recently discovered the Discogs site and boy am I in love. I could lose my wallet in there. So, I just received the six Bobby Darin records I ordered.

*Sings Ray Charles
*Things and Other Things
*Twist with Bobby Darin
*The Bobby Darin Story
*You're the Reason I'm Living
*From Hello Dolly to Goodbye Charlie

Bobby Darin was very diverse, but could do no wrong for me - I even like his version of Doctor Dolittle (the songs were by Leslie Bricusse after all). I also liked him in films, especially William Hale's Gunfight in Abilene from 1967.
