They sing with such confidence! No forcing, no croaking. No unnecessary riffs. Just going along with music ,all the while adding his own interpretation and interacting with audience. THAT'S AN ENTERTAINER.
What a time to be alive, this is what entertainment was. The man sang beautifully, did IMPROV, danced, did crowd work and had a bit of stand up inside one of his most cherished songs ever. These days it's all about being the loudest, and if you have any talent that's comes second. Where have we gone soo wrong.
What a performance! He died before I was even born but I found this on youtube and now I know why my grandad loved those old time guys. This guy had an incredible voice and he was an amazing performer and entertainer too. Nowadays we get the diva crap and autotune, and I like old music more and more.
Would loved to have seen him performing live. My loss, he is one of the few singer that when you hear on the radio, you can visualise his quirky dance moves in your head.
I'm a dancer, Lady, and I'll tell you that there is nothing "quirky" in how Bobby danced, it's all an offhanded display of effortless ability, a reflection of his innate musical nature. If you search around, you can probably find some video of him dancing with a formation group. He WAS a dancer, a REAL THING dancer, and could have done great things with dance productions if he had lived longer.
@@vancouverterry9142 Well, lady, the woman in question may not be referring to the traditional dance moves, but the purposefully comedic movements I liked to add in as well. Even if not, I never claimed to be a dancer. I was a singer and a musician, I moved to the music in a way that felt genuine. I do appreciate your positive opinion and defense of my dancing, but I never expected to be complimented on my dancing after a performance. It was their to enhance and add to my real talent which was my singing ability
"Beyond The Sea" is a song by the French composer, lyricist, singer and showman Charles TRENET (1913-2001). Bobby DARIN made this song a great masterpeace: jazz swinging a lot!!! Brilliant interpretation!!! He was a fantastic crooner!!! It's a pity Bobby DARIN passed away so young (37yo).
Trenet wrote nearly 1,000 songs, music and lyrics, of which nearly a dozen became international standards. Including this one which he wrote on a train trip in France in a matter of minutes as he was gazing out the window at the sea.
We were stationed in Germany, from California, in 1959. My dad bought a 45 rpm player and two records: Bing Crosby singing Irish classics and Bobby Darin doing "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea." I feel in love with Bobby and singing.
He was so very talented and a good actor. I can’t, to this day understand what he was going through. I watched his shows and how he was so versatile. A great loss
Ahhh Bobby had it all -- he was a singer and a real good dancer. I've seen a video of him dancing in a jazz formation group and speaking as a dancer myself, I see him as one of those music-loving types who is a born dancer who can translate musical feelings into dance action. And he played instruments as well, so that's three out of three by my books: singer, dancer and musician. I hope Bobby had big doses of heaven during his life where his gifts really let his spirit fly before his untimely death.
@@annettebohl901 True -- he was a great, lamentably short-lived, but a multi-dimensional GREAT. I remember how mid-way through his rise there was a lot of speculation that he would surpass Frank Sinatra. Sinatra really brought a lot to life by doing things like going down into the band pit and cutting it up with a horn player or some other soloist. Bobby's approach was a touch more playful and I would have loved to see what he would have done over the years in terms of cutting it up and exchanging quotes with the cats or working with supporting dance groups. I think Bobby's sense of style was a lot of the springboard for the crooners who sing his bag and will inspire many a top-level crooner for the rest of their lives. In his way, he was a walking world of music, dance, art, and class showmanship. Thank you, Bobby! We'll always be inspired and uplifted by your artistry!
So glad we have this performance to enjoy. It truly shows that REAL talent has gone wayside in todays modern music world. Melody and originality is gone. Long live "Bobby Darin"
Bobby was absolutely brilliant and could perform any genre (rock, jazz, folk, big band, - even movie/contemporary music of early 70s such as "Happy" from Lady Sings the Blues movie) as if the any of those genres were his "trademark genre"- it was truly that effortless for Bobby to "mix it up" and if you listen to songs such as "If I were a Carpenter" or "Simple Song of Freedom" (folk); "Mack the Knife", "Up the Lazy River" or "Gyp the Cat" (Jazzy); "Black Coffee" (moodier jazz style); "Splish Splash" (Rock); "Hello Dolly" (show tunes); "Beyond the Sea" (as here) or "More than the Greatest Love" (Big Band/Swing; and "Happy" early 1970s /contemporary movie soundtrack. He also had an incredibly mesmerizing physical presence on stage - there was no doubt when he performed that he owned the stage like a very few have -- and you are so right to compare him to Sammy Davis Jr. ! Bobby's dancing and stage moves were beyond captivating to watch. And also he had a genius IQ/very gifted intellect -- and it extended down to his toes ! And what makes this all the more wondrous is that to Bobby, entertaining was his passion, as he believed his audience deserved nothing less than the highest caliber of performance, and this also tied into his ambitious nature knowing his life would be cut short by his heart condition, he worked tirelessly until the very end when he had a severe heart valve deterioration that ultimately took his life. I could watch him perform for hours on end. Thank you for posting this wonderful content !
Bobby Dari was an entertainer. I wish I could have seen him perform. He has always been one of my favorite singers. Taken from us too soon. Thank you so much for this wonderful clip.
What a performance. Makes his band vamp 7 out of the 10 minutes. Guitar and hi hat held the whole thing. Nothing but inside musical jokes. He was the GOAT
he was in some movies. i remember a war movie he was in, but i was in high school when he died, so i missed hearing about his passing, with all that was going on.
One of the greatest! No one can do Mack The Knife as good, let alone better! Love this !! So much better than his time allowed! I still miss the man! Will always remember and listen to his music. ❤❤️❤️
Darin was the last born of the true big band jazz singers. He could have held his own with anyone from the 30s to the 50s. Of course, there are talented people nowadays who can do the singing, but he had the FEEL that they don’t have. The stories of how sick he actually was most of the time are pretty sad. It’s amazing. He lived as long as he did.
If you listen, you might not realise it, but Darin's voice was a very wide range. I wonder if this was Darin's last ever TV performance, as his last gig was in Las Vegas in September of 1973, and he died from the heart surgery complications in December of that same year. A shame too, but the rheumatic fever he suffered from really hurt him, to the point where he also had to rely on bottled oxygen. But other than that, Darin did have an excellent voice, one that nobody will ever forget.
@ScottRogers thanks for doing this. Loved listening to him sing. And my husband had tapped to this song when he was a kid. His mom loved his music too. Brings back good memories.
RIP Bobby Darin (May 14, 1936 - December 20, 1973), aged 37
You will be remembered as a legend.
I didn't know he died so young. One of my favorite songs from the 1950's
@@richstrobel Yeah. He passed from heart surgery complications.
😢
37????! So young!!! Toooo young😢
@@gerrydurande2670so another botched operation….

No they don't....

That reply made no sense.
Who are "they" and what don't they do?
One of a kind. I've never witnessed anything like that!!! ❤🎉

Sensationalism.
What a shame we lost him so young. He was a joy to watch.

I like this jazzy version of an already superb song. RIP
Would loved to have seen him performing live. My loss, he is one of the few singer that when you hear on the radio, you can visualise his quirky dance moves in your head.
There is nothing quirky about him at all. bad word choice, for an amazing entertainer.
He hade great dance moves.
@@elenaschatz5935 Well Elena I have no issue being called quirky, normal on the other hand……

I was born in 1958. This was the first music I ever heard. So COOL.
What a charming man. So calm and funny. Quirky but entertaining. Hah.....Glad we have video of this.

Incredible voice, great sense of humour and tremendous musicality. True meaning of the word “entertainer”. What a loss to the world. Legend.
It’s sad to think that he didn’t live longer. He’s so vibrant here, and he died a few months later.
yeah he was so hot
A timeless performance! Can watch that over and over. In fact I have.
Some people are just natural born entertainers; he was one of them.
one amazing talent......complete proof that only the GREAT die young.
Thank you Brooke
Agree!
Ya, it was a pitty!!!
Not young enough, I still had to watch Nixon get inaugurated
The last year he was on earth man. 😢 what a legend

Those were amazing times. Bobby was the epitome of class!

This is magic. RIP Bobby
I love this. One of my favorites. I am going to listen to this again ❤️
Those notes he hits at 4:50 , 4:56 and 5:57 give me chills so damn good
Watched him as I grew up.. for me was one of the best live entertainers, no electronics, just talent...sadly missed in todays's dross....
So glad we have this performance to enjoy. It truly shows that REAL talent has gone wayside in todays modern music world. Melody and originality is gone. Long live "Bobby Darin"

The way he lets his voice rip at 06:35… wowsers!
That's how the pros do it!
Classic class! I was just a kid, but I remember how handsome he was and never forgot his wonderful voice and his wonderful songs.
" My Lover stands on Tommy Sands" Great improv lyric!
Almost every live version of this song includes the Tommy Sands line. I think he was close with him Nancy Sinatra
AWESOME FABULOUS PERFORMER MISS YOU BOBBY WE DONT HAVE THIS KIND OF GREATNESS ANYMORE YOUR SOURLY MISSED
