Reviews for Bobby Darin

I own the DVD "Beyond the Sea" and watch it often because I so love Bobby Darin's unrivaled talent and never cease to be in awe of the remarkable portrayal of the legend by Kevin Spacey. Bobby's song, "Simple Song of Freedom" is as appropriate now (perhaps more) as it was when he wrote it. It should be a 'household' word for performing artists and sung at every possible opportunity. How can we make that happen?

I was 2 years older than Bobby Darin, being born on Jan. 29th 1934 in downtown Jersey City, NJ. I remember singing "SPLISH SPLASH" at a teen hop many years ago. I tried emulating him, to me he was the NEW Frank Sinatra for my age our age group. His Mack the Knife was great, but I enjoyed the song on the reverse of that record called "WAS THERE A CALL FOR ME" which he also wrote. That song would have been No.1 if it were not coupled with MAC..... I remember the words to the song but cannot get the lyrics because bobby did not want to release it and I can't find the song anywhere.
To me he was a talent without equal...... May he rest in peace.

P.S. Thank you for his Bio. Joe Trimarchi

JUST SAW the dvd 'BEYOND THE SEA' with Kevin Spacey and thougt it was terrific. What an incredible talent Bobby Darin had and how sad his life was full of so many obstacles.
sincerely, Ann

My wife and I just saw the Kevin Spacey movie bio on Bobby Darin. Then I read Jay Tell's tender tribute to him, thanks to Google. Now I will pay him the best tribute I can think of. I will buy his records and enjoy his talent. I hope that he and Sandra are living it up.

There is no talent like Bobby talent. He had it all and we were blessed to have him with us for a very brief period of time. I miss him. Karen

i think that his music is great and i love him so much and i wish he was still alive now
