Bobby Darin 30th Anniversary Tribute By Jay Tell, Dec 20, 2003, jaytell @ hotmail.com Can it be 30 years since Bobby Darin’s untimely passing? Walden Robert Cassotto was born May 14, 1936 in the Bronx, New York. As a boy he yearned for fame and a show business career, searched the phone book, and became Bobby Darin. Bobby tragically left us on December 20, 1973, too young, only 37, before he could embrace his future, before we fully appreciated the Darin treasure and mystique. I knew Bobby 10 years, 1963 to 1973. During his last four exciting years we were close friends and business partners. I was editor and publisher of the Las Vegas Free Press and owned Nevada’s first health food restaurant, Food For Thought. I believed in Bobby’s innate talent, but More...

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? bioshock song | Reviewer: will ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin the remix song on biochock was really hard to find but in the end i managed to download it from soulseek. if you want this song then add me on msn at will_x7@hotmail.com and i will send it to you :):):):):):):):):) i have it on loop on windows media player, best song ever! Thanks for Everything | Reviewer: Joseph Trimarchi ------ About artist/band Bobby Darin 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 OUTSTANDING TALENT | Reviewer: Ann Horton ------ About artist/band Bobby Darin 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 Great Christmas Song | Reviewer: jayjay ------ About the song Artificial Flowers performed by Bobby Darin I always liked this song and especially BobbY Darin's rendition. In a way it reminds me of a child labor poem that went something like... The factory is so near the golf course That almost any day All the CHILDREN hard at work there Can see the the MEN at play!! awesome | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin I LOVE THE OLDIES!!I LOVE BIOSHOCk! i beat bioshock 4 times and im almost beat it 5 and i first herd this song on bioshock it rules but i cant find a place or link to download it. good stuff! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin I agree, I first heard this song actually on a commercial for Bioshock on tv (which looks like an awesome game haha) and i wanted to look up the words cause I've heard it on like Carnival cruise liner commercials and such before and i really like it! Way to go Bobby! A Global Anthem? | Reviewer: Ron Rae ------ About the song Simple Song Of Freedom performed by Bobby Darin The very first time I heard this song, as done by Tim Hardin, it became one of the most favorite of folk songs of my interest in music. I was in awe of the lyrics and the importance it had toward the conditions in the world. It remains an anthem for all peoples just as politicians and governments continue create conflicts to the hindrance of a peaceful existence of humanity. There is no other song that would be deserving of being A Global Anthem. The finest tribute. | Reviewer: James Harris ------ About artist/band Bobby Darin 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. Beyond the Sea | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin the first time i heard this song waz in the game Bioshock( which is awsome btw) and i instantly fell in love with it 10/10 hands down Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin Bobby Darin truly is one of the world's greatest singers. I believe this was one of his finest moments. Beyond the Sea... I love it! | Reviewer: A fourteen year old ------ About the song Beyond the Sea performed by Bobby Darin I've really liked this song for sometime. I'm even planning on singing it at my schools talent show. Bobby Darin was truly a great singer, I love the style he used. Its a shame he's passed away now. I give this song a 10/10! Probably the only singer from the 60's and 70's that I like! sensational | Reviewer: ann collins ------ About the song Simple Song Of Freedom performed by Bobby Darin The man was awesome.What a voice.I bought the movie tonight.I cant get enough of him.If he has a fan club I wanna be a member.and I want to know everything he ever sang.I am awe struck This song sucks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Splish Splash performed by Bobby Darin This is the most stupid song I've ever heard. With an artistic era like this, no wonder there was rebellion in the streets a decade later! Gyp v Mack | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gyp The Cat performed by Bobby Darin Mack the Knife was written first, so it already had a "fan base", or "following" as it were. Gyp came along later (50's-60's) and nearly copied the chord build of Mack the knife. (Darin even sings both of them in the same key of B-flat.) Personally, I like Mack better, but that doesn't at all mean I DISlike Gyp in any way. Rex Harrison Sprech 'end Sing um! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Talk to the Animals performed by Bobby Darin I used to go to the library and listen to Rex Harrison hollaring this tune out. I always wondered why this guy got all the musicals; I guess he made anybody think they could sing. Bobby Talent | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Bobby Darin 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 hidden treasurer | Reviewer: Melva Geyer ------ About the song Amy performed by Bobby Darin I keep hoping someone will pick this beautiful song up. It is such a wonderful piece of music. There are some wonderful voices out there that could make this the big hit it should have been. Darin's rendition was solid, but too mild to catch the attention that someone like Michael Bolton could do. Mack's long lost twin... | Reviewer: Rhett ------ About the song Gyp The Cat performed by Bobby Darin This is one of those hidden gems, which can aptly describe a lot of what Bobby Darrin's career amounted to. "Gyp, the Cat" is nearly a twin to Mack the Knife. They share the same simple strumming beginning; both build to a rousing finish; and both tell the story of a ne'er do well with hip names. Yet somehow Mack got famous and Gyp was largely lost to history. In fact, they both share identical meter and tempo. Try singing one over the other and you'll see what I'm talking about. Lyrically, I think I actually prefer Gyp to Mack. The rhymes are more fun and the song has a more playful quality to it. Either way, how can you go wrong?
