BOBBY DARIN WAS A SINGER'S SINGER! A CLASS ACT AND REALLY A SMOOTH! COOL 😎 CAT 😺STYLE!BOBBY DARIN NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH WE REALLY ENJOYED HIS MUSIC 🎶!BOBBY DARIN RIP 1936-1973!
I believe Darin was the most versatile entertainer of the 20th century. What he accomplished in his brief 37 years is nothing short of Legendary. Singer, musician, performer, actor, impressionist, songwriter, producer, arranger, entrepreneur, outdoorsman, activist. The man truly did it all, and he did it all so well. One of a kind, Bobby.
I love this handsome, multi-talented man whose song "Beyond the Sea" always brings tears to my eyes. Such a mega-talented performer whose voice could lend itself to any musical style. RIP Bobby Darin, you did it all and there is no one who comes close to your ability.
Did you know that Connie Francis was voted the best female entertainer of the 20th century . I love it . Bing Crosby got the award for the men . Bobby Darin may have won if his career was longer , i guess .
Bobbie Darin is before my time as I am the same age as Dodd, his son. I have heard of him but never saw him perform. I am watching footage here and... Wow! What a true talent and showman he was. It's fascinating to watch him. I love his personality and tenacity. I was sad to learn of both Bobby and Sandy's individual stories and the demise of their marriage and physical decline, then deaths. Dodd was so loving to get the true story out in his way.
June 2024 I want to thank whoever is responsible for putting this show together and those who posted this masterpiece. From my heart...I appreciate you very very much.
Bobby Darin was an all round entertainer,performer,songwriter,and could sing anything.A true NYC talent,he lived his lifestyle on the edge and tragically died during open heart surgery. The best documentary about his life and he is one of the greatest that ever lived!
It's been almost fifty years since he passed away at age 37. Three years later, he would have been 😅 90 years old had he lived. Only God knows how much he would have accomplished, if it wasn't for his fragile heart. He would've lived long enough to see himself inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and beyond. I should know, because I was, am, and always and forever will be a big fan of his.
@@kellynorman7452 Bobby Darin didn't kill himself. He had rheumatic fever as a young child and as a result it weakened his heart valves. Doctors told his family when he was 8 years old that he wouldn't live to see 21. He died because his heart failed him.
The greatest entertainer, singer, songwriter actor, an all in one superstar Mr BOBBY DARIN. MY IDOL, AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF LOVED HIM AND STILL DO. HE WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AND THROUGH THE LYRICS OF EACH SONG HE SANG, AND WROTE. LONG LIVE OUR IDOL BOBBY DARIN..RIP..🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He has Jackie Wilson, Jimmie Cagney, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, James Brown all wrapped up in him. He moves, sings, dances, croons, groans all together with such ease you take it for granted watching him. There has not been any like him in all the time people have been singing and performing.
OMG..I just know that when you saw the FANTABULOUS Mr. Bobby Darin..You left that show feeling GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD as hell!!!! Booby Darin just oozed pure talent.
A voice that speaks to us from heaven. The reminder to forge on and get done what we are meant to do. That’s first. Secondly, his music was a blessing.
He was from a bit before my time. I recently watched “beyond the Sea” film starring Kevin Spacey and Learned about Bobby Darin‘s life and music. What a TALENT! Kevin Spacey wanted us to know about Bobbi because that’s who he loved growing up. Well mission accomplished! I’m in love with the music of Bobby Darin
I've always loved Bobby Darin and read the book his son wrote about his parents life. Something I learned from this was that he also had a daughter Alexa. Something else I learned in the last year was that Bobby sang a rap song way before it's popularity. Title "Me and Mr. Horner Standing on the Corner". I don't like rap but I had to go listen to it. I have listened to it several times.
Wonderful. I know "Mack the Knife" from McDonald's commercials when I was young in the 80s. Asked my uncle about it. He told me about Bobby Darren. Glad to see the documentary.
He was the consummate showman, he could do it all. He accomplished so much during his short life on this earth. I am in awe of his incredible talent. Love and miss you so much Bobby Darin😢💕
It is an EMBARASSMENT that Sinatra was thought of as the best of them all. Old Blue Eyes should not even be in any conversation where Darin is involved. I dare anyone to you tube Frank's super stiff concerts, (even those live ones with Count Basie!), and put them side by side to Darin. NO CONTEST!!!
What a master performer, God gave him such Great talent, awesome voice, looks so handsome, cute, what a talent, A STAR THAT WILL SHINE FOREVER, 🌟✨👍🙏😇💞💖
I can remember being 5 yrs. old when I fell in love with Bobby Darin's songs and thinking he was the ultimate of coolness. Their son, Dodd, is such an amazing person, they would be so incredibly proud of him!! They will all be joyfully reunited one day!!... The story doesn't end here!!... It goes, "Beyond The Sea!!" 🙏💕
Dodd Darin is so awesome. He protects his parents' legacy. The book he wrote about Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. Dodd also is the mere image of his father Bobby Darin. It's almost eerie. I have always wondered if Dodd sings or acts? Does anyone know? Cheers!
@@January. I think he looks like a more handsome version of Bobby Darin- so that extra does of pretty comes from his mom! I’ve seen so many interviews with him and he seems like a really nice person.
Just noticed a coincidence. During the first Pledge Break, the Membership Board says they have 5 new members, and their goal is 14 new members. Bobby's birthday is May 14th, 5/14. ( cue 'Twilight Zone' theme 🙄 😊 ) Robert Walden Cassoto. Bobby Darin. Singer. Songwriter. Movie score composer. Impressionist. Dancer. Actor. Player of piano, guitar, harmonica, drums, vibraphone. Showman extraordinaire. All-around good guy. RIP, darling Bobby, and thanx so so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (edit bc my stupidphone cannot spell properly 🙄 😊 )
Booby Darin’s story caught my eye while I was younger, no other entertainer has been able to keep me entertained the way Bobby does, Michael Bublé image is based off of Bobby Darin
I always wondered where he would of been if he stuck with rock n roll instead of nightclub music. He really had a flair and Dream Lover is one of the most timeless beautiful romantic songs ever!
What I find most tragic is that he died from carelessness, turning his death into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The last heart infection he got was from not taking antibiotics before a dental procedure. I am not sure what the reason was for skipping it, but who knows what the future might have been if he had taken that simple precaution. He was a fabulous singer & entertainer. .
My father died from Rheumatic Fever at 29 (I never got to meet him). It was pretty much a death sentence. My father’s parents were told the same thing when he contracted the disease as a child. ‘You won’t raise him’. When my grandmother asked how she was supposed to carry on … the doctor’s answer was ‘one day at a time’. Incidentally my father was also born in 1936, the same year as Bobby Darin.
I wonder if that narrative is true. The man did not look heart-sick. At all. He smoked also. You notice how jealous they were of him. I remember he had a show. I used to watch it as a young girl with my grandmother who loved him. It was listed in the TV guide but had suddenly been cancelled to due his death. Strange .. I don´t believe their story. Same with other greats - in particular - Mozart. Perhaps too, Darin became too political.
@@psalm2764 Dick Clark complained about his death for years. He wanted a complete investigation which he never got. I remember that TV show also. His career was just starting to take off again after a hiatus.
@@Nestor123057 That is interesting. Most, including his son, "Dodd", go along with the "he was ill and knew he didn't have long" narrative, which is a lie. They were all envious of him. Probably he did not sell out and kept his integrity. God know what they did to him.
I think it's 'Gotta Travel On'. I've laid around and played around This old town too long Summer's almost gone And winter's comin' on ... ( 🙄 something like that )
My ex duo partner, a very good singer himself, said about Bobby, that he(my partner) didn't get Bobby's sucess.Well Bobby might not have had technically as good a voice as my partner, but he did not have the stage presence, swagger, style and comedic ability as Bobby. THAT is what I "got" about him!
Sadly no one under 40 knows who Bobby Darin is now. They might know "Mack the Knife" if they heard it. It's sad because this guy was incredible. He couldn't read or write music but he could really make it.
Back in the old days a baby born out of wedlock was classed as the ultimate sin .... Bobby may not have been the great guy he was if he'd have known the truth about his real birth mother as growing up would have been even harder than it was with gossips referring to him being a b***ard cos that's what it was like back then... Living that lie would have been so hard but telling the truth would of been even harder .... I was only a child when Bobby died but his music was played often in our home and it's played in my home today and my grandkids dance around to his songs... He's a LEGEND who was taken to soon....RIP Bobby & Thanks for the music...
You are right. Those two women did the best they could for their beloved baby boy. It must have been so hard for them, but then again life was hard back then.
This is how much I loved this man's talent! First, I'm watching a a left wing Network, PBS, left wing Network! Second, the narrator of this Darin special is Keith Olberman, KEITH OLBERMAN, let that sink in, a despicable human being who's off the charts in his despicability-ism!
@@PatrickCotnoir Sorry, you're part of their group, but that's on you! Democrat Politicians are so full of hate, power, and greed but actually goes around pretending to care for people, the biggest hypocrisy ever! But even crazier than that is the people who vote for them, it's hard to believe there are that many ignorant people in this Country.
Oh my gosh, I couldn't agree with you more! Despite PBS, despite the horrible Keith Olberman, I'm enjoying this documentary about a fantastically talented man whom I find fascinating and SO charismatic. Despicable speaker, wonderful subject!
Loved this documentary truly. Also why do good people go too soon while the scum of the earth seems to live forever? Not fair. Not fair at all. RIP Walden Robert Cassotto, AKA, Bobby Darin. You were, evidently, a great human being who left an amazing legacy, musically and otherwise. Rest in love & power.
20apr2024 Beyond the Song.1998.bio.(B Darin.D Clark.D Darin.Connie Francis.T Orlando.A Williams)[Astor]{Cilo.wrt.Anderson.ed.}_8.4_1h30_ / Documentary on the life and career of 1950s/'60s pop singer Bobby Darin, including photos from his childhood, clips from his concerts and TV appearances, and interviews with friends, family and colleagues.// This is a great start to learning more about the multi-talented, very underrated, somewhat forgotten, Bobby Darin, who achieved more in his short life than many who live twice as long. The older concert footage is particularly exciting to those of us who are just a little too young (or who were growing up in Europe, as I did) to have had the pleasure of seeing Bobby Darin live in concert in the late 50s, early 60s. The recent resurgence of interest in his music, acting, and other performances (in part due to the release of the Kevin Spacey movie and concert tours) is testament to the extraordinary body of work that is Bobby' legacy.// Bobby Darin: Beyond The Song is the definitive Bobby Darin documentary. Produced with the cooperation of the Darin estate, the film employs never-before-seen footage of Darin on and off stage, thousands of personal photographs, and interviews with Darin intimates and contemporaries. The story of Bobby Darin's life truly has to be seen to be believed, and this film is the place to start if you're interested.// The spotlight shines on Bobby Darin once again, thanks to the Spacey movie, Beyond The Sea. Bobby has been introduced to a whole new generation of fans - and long overdue. There has been so little out in the media about Bobby over the last 3 decades that Beyond The Song is invaluable in bringing this huge talent back into focus. Beyond The Song highlights the incredible multi-talented gifts that Bobby possessed. This documentary gives us insight into his complex character as well. Bobby grew up in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies...he was only 37 when he died ! Anyone who is not already a Darin Fan will become one after seeing this movie.// I love this documentary. It's thoughtful and unintentionally funny in spots, but overall a great success story about a gifted Hunter College drop out turned early teen rock star turned swaggering rat packer hated by Sinatra. BOBBY DARIN: LIVE AT THE COPA is a TRUE ROCK CONCERT from 1961! Buy it now!//Listening to Tony Orlando gushing near tears over his pal Darin makes you wonder where he got the crocodile tears. Moments like Darin Jr. describing how the 1968 assassination of RFK affected Darin so much the singer stopped wearing his toupee in public! Shudders! Or how Bobby Darin adopted working///
This man had one of the biggest drives in the music industry and it wasn’t easy for him to keep performing but he did have the drive to keep going when most entertainers would have quit and most would end up working in the music business but not as an entertainer but working in some office, really doing nothing but at least they were working, but not Bobby. He just wouldn’t stop until he had the hits that launched his career. Guess Who?
Bobby Darin was a true star with incredible entertaining ability and the fact that he married the most beautiful girl in the world at the time, being Sandra Dee, was a culmination of his life, with som Dodd the result of this union. Unfortunately in life nothing lasts foreveer and their marriage only lasted six short years with Bobby dying at 37 of heart problems on the operating table and Sandra becoming a methamphetamine and alcohol addict who also died too young. In a way life is neveer whatt it appears to be.....
He was in a period of transition in entertainment. I really liked him, but was he from my parents generation? I wasn't sure. But was he Las Vegas? I really couldn't figure it out, but I chose the Grateful Dead, and Linda Ronstadt instead. Looking back, I just think Bobby Darin was as great as anyone in the Rat Pack. Maybe just missed it by a slight notch in timing.
Having lived in 3 foster homes thus having 4 mothers i Can feel his pain of life of lies and not told who his real mother is....😢....thinking in 1940s Christian oppression values time and its impact upon families for centuries and millinea i can only wonder what they were trying to save themselves from? Mother under age? Not married? Incest? Shamed the real father for getting her pregnant and chased him away?
That is totally untrue. Sandra had deep-seated sexual problems due to years of abuse (from the age of 5) by her stepfather. He was totally devoted to her.
how anyone could dislike this is beyond me. he was really great and gone too soon.
Yes, just like other greats. Makes you wonder ... They were all so envious of him.
He was the greatest
It was usually just one embicile who would tap on the that dislike button multiple times, with multiple screen names, just to upset people. It's so nice that You Tube has done away with THAT option. 👏😌
Natural voice and heart. Rhythm falls all around him. Astonishing man. Thank you
Yes. Very well put.
Darin was a singer's singer. A class act and a smooth, cool style. I miss that voice.

Long live the great Bobby Darin. I follow you since "Dream Lover" (1959)
He has Jackie Wilson, Jimmie Cagney, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, James Brown all wrapped up in him. He moves, sings, dances, croons, groans all together with such ease you take it for granted watching him. There has not been any like him in all the time people have been singing and performing.
Well said.
You forgot Sammy Davis Jr.
There is a Bobby Darin Fan Club should you wish to join. We love genuine fans.
Mac The Knife was mine & my husband's song. It was just played a lot on one special night for us.
What a voice what a talent.
Brilliant singer
I can't believe he's not here anymore hard to get round
I think he should be on walk of fame to honour his memory
One of a kind, Bobby Darin ❤️❤️

Sammy Davis Jr. was very similar in talents and accomplishments with Bobby Darin. No wonder Sammy Davis Jr. highly respected him.

The older concert footage is particularly exciting to those of us who are just a little too young (or who were growing up in Europe, as I did) to have had the pleasure of seeing Bobby Darin live in concert in the late 50s, early 60s. The recent resurgence of interest in his music, acting, and other performances (in part due to the release of the Kevin Spacey movie and concert tours) is testament to the extraordinary body of work that is Bobby' legacy.// Bobby Darin: Beyond The Song is the definitive Bobby Darin documentary. Produced with the cooperation of the Darin estate, the film employs never-before-seen footage of Darin on and off stage, thousands of personal photographs, and interviews with Darin intimates and contemporaries. The story of Bobby Darin's life truly has to be seen to be believed, and this film is the place to start if you're interested.// The spotlight shines on Bobby Darin once again, thanks to the Spacey movie, Beyond The Sea. Bobby has been introduced to a whole new generation of fans - and long overdue. There has been so little out in the media about Bobby over the last 3 decades that Beyond The Song is invaluable in bringing this huge talent back into focus. Beyond The Song highlights the incredible multi-talented gifts that Bobby possessed. This documentary gives us insight into his complex character as well. Bobby grew up in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies...he was only 37 when he died ! Anyone who is not already a Darin Fan will become one after seeing this movie.// I love this documentary. It's thoughtful and unintentionally funny in spots, but overall a great success story about a gifted Hunter College drop out turned early teen rock star turned swaggering rat packer hated by Sinatra. BOBBY DARIN: LIVE AT THE COPA is a TRUE ROCK CONCERT from 1961! Buy it now!//Listening to Tony Orlando gushing near tears over his pal Darin makes you wonder where he got the crocodile tears. Moments like Darin Jr. describing how the 1968 assassination of RFK affected Darin so much the singer stopped wearing his toupee in public! Shudders! Or how Bobby Darin adopted working///
This man had one of the biggest drives in the music industry and it wasn’t easy for him to keep performing but he did have the drive to keep going when most entertainers would have quit and most would end up working in the music business but not as an entertainer but working in some office, really doing nothing but at least they were working, but not Bobby. He just wouldn’t stop until he had the hits that launched his career. Guess Who?
Bobby Darin was a true star with incredible entertaining ability and the fact that he married the most beautiful girl in the world at the time, being Sandra Dee, was a culmination of his life, with som Dodd the result of this union. Unfortunately in life nothing lasts foreveer and their marriage only lasted six short years with Bobby dying at 37 of heart problems on the operating table and Sandra becoming a methamphetamine and alcohol addict who also died too young. In a way life is neveer whatt it appears to be.....
Witk respect, wouldn't know him if he fell on me
He was in a period of transition in entertainment. I really liked him, but was he from my parents generation? I wasn't sure. But was he Las Vegas? I really couldn't figure it out, but I chose the Grateful Dead, and Linda Ronstadt instead. Looking back, I just think Bobby Darin was as great as anyone in the Rat Pack. Maybe just missed it by a slight notch in timing.
Having lived in 3 foster homes thus having 4 mothers i Can feel his pain of life of lies and not told who his real mother is....😢....thinking in 1940s Christian oppression values time and its impact upon families for centuries and millinea i can only wonder what they were trying to save themselves from? Mother under age? Not married? Incest? Shamed the real father for getting her pregnant and chased him away?
Connie Francis dad was right about him, he saved her from him. Great artist but an emotion nap A hole.
That is totally untrue. Sandra had deep-seated sexual problems due to years of abuse (from the age of 5) by her stepfather. He was totally devoted to her.
