Darin’s emotional rendering of this beautiful song is heartbreaking
Thanks Billy for checking in with us.
It is so authentic and sweet. Some lost love is in his consciousness as he pours this out. RIP, Robert Walden Cossotto
Of all the singers in the world Bobby Darin is the only one who has ever mastered the art of digging out the soul and heart of a song and really delivering the most soulful and heart felt song to his fans. No one will ever come close because they are not driven with the desire and compassion for singing as Bobby Darin. Yes he was so driven because his life was to be so short. This still is my all time favourite of his songs. Just watch the emotion in his delivery and you understand my meaning
Darin was one of them, but if you ask any artist that distinction would go to Sinatra.
He lives his songs
Elvis and he were good friends. They loved each other.
@@johngeorge6717 -- Actually, Darin & Tony Bennett own this gem.....BRAVI ad ENTRAMBI.....from Acapulco!
This is one song that no one else should sing. Nobody sings it like Bobby did. This performance is truly one of his best. Magical ❤️
AMEN YES
Have you heard Al Martino's version? IMO just as good
The voice.
Bobby Darin's great for sure, but I loved the song by Tony Bennett too.
the orchestra is too loud, which takes away from the tenderness of this song in this version. I like Frank's version better. I like the feeling Bobby puts into this version.
Occasionally the world produces a magical human being. Bobby was one of those rare and magical creatures.

Yes Duke. He was one talented man. Left so so soon.
So true. Magical.....and I think.the magic happened because he was alive in the possibilities of his life, perhaps because he knew it would be short, and so he would live for what he could be.
Listen to Paul sorvino sing it....thank me later bud.
How True
You watch his face, he's feeling this song! He knew his time was short. He lived far longer than was expected.
He was singing about Sandra Dee. It was a fairy tale romance, that lasted for a little while. Once Upon a Time indeed Bobby!
Once Upon a Time...there was Bobby Darin...his like will never come again.
I'm glad it was in my lifetime.
Best live performance on RUclips.
I agree with you!
Totally agree. So incredibly moving and beautiful. He gave the audience everything.
Could be!
A close second would be ‘Caruso’ by Lara Fabian
In his youth Bobby dreamed of being ... better than Sinatra ... and he proved, that DREAMS do come TRUE.
At 82yrs. I’m still loving Bobby Darin. There never will be another. ♥️🎼🎶♥️🥰😎
We're all unique, including Bobby, what a talent!
How I agree with you!
@@dianarolph1770 now I’m 85 yrs. and haven’t changed my mind. ♥️ Chris, in Portland ,🥀 Oregon. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️🥰🌴😎🙏
It isn't possible to sing a song, any song, better than this. The time, the circumstances, the style, doesn't matter. This is pure performance. Pure delivery. Pure living the song as fully as it can be lived.
You should listen to Steve Perry if you want to hear a song performed purely and fully as it can be

@@dawnstoehrer8107 💖💝💘
He lived with such a broken heart without the one he wanted. It gave us these beautiful numbers but it echos so hollow.
BOBBY DARIN WAS AND IS STILL MY HEART ❤️ HES A PURE 💎
Bobby's delivery of this song is by far in my opinion ,the best there is, no one did it better..
So true.....except, of course, for Tony Bennett......Cheers from Mexico City!
Perry Como...❤
I think Perry Como's version in superior!
I've listened to them all, including, Tony Bennett, Perry Como (one of my favorite singers), John Gary, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Mandy Patinkin, and Bob Dylan, and this version by Bobby Darin is the best, in my opinion. He didn't have necessarily have the best voice, but he had the best interpretation.
I love Many Patinkin’s version. The passion he puts into it gets me every time.
Bobbie Darin did it the best. He died way too young. So many more songs he could have sung.
Yep, he was a great singer and performer and he did die way to young.
this song moved me at 20 and still makes me listen as an old man.
Me too but i am an old lady
Sad glasgow scotland@@bufb
Found it at 32 and I can't get enough of it. I've always been too old for my age. If I believed in past lives, there's no doubt I'd be of this generation as the times and music speaks to me like crazy.

Just beautiful ,no one could match him ! I loved his movies with Sandra Dee !!❤
I was only 18 but I remember that December day. I was driving to work when the news came over the radio that he died. I was heartbroken. I can't believe that it's been 48 years he's been gone. Bobby Darin was an incredible talent who was taken way too young. I treasure these recordings and videos of him.
Bobby obviously " had to catch a breath" - his undiagnosed heart condition. So sad still in my memory of his dying so young in operating table trying to fix his heart. Fantastic singer.
I have never seen a song , sung by a singer, with so much pain....he really loved Sandy.... Amen.
When my wife was nearing the end of her life I would play songs for her that were meaningful to us. This song really showed me that our lifetime together was so fragile. I miss her.
"Let me catch my breath"..........you can tell he was struggling with the song, but oh so beautiful. No one like Bobby Darin. So special.
Thanks for checking out my channel.
The last time I saw Bobby Darin my husband and I were coming home from work. We had to pass the Bronx Court House on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. There was some kind of something going on, but not too many people were there. Bobby Darin was singing, giving it his all and we stopped for a couple of minutes to listen, could not have been more than about 10 people there also. We moved on because we had to go home to walk our dog. However, we always remember that day. We feel guilty that we did not stay longer, that there were so few people there, actually guilt. He Didn't care that so few were willing to stay and listen, he just sang his heart out. Loved Bobby Darin, a great singer and a great human being. May he always RIP.
Thanks you Nanja for that story.
Nanja Joa so very lucky you for being some of the first ones to witness his raw talent :-0
This is such a sad, and beautiful song, but Bobby Darin sang it better than anyone else who recorded it. He was such a talented entertainer. I love all his songs.
Thanks for tuning us in.
Yes, such a sad and beautiful song.
Love this man and am amazed at his talent that is still unequaled in 2021. He could do it all, writing, singing, played 5 instruments, did his own arrangements, very good actor, electrifying stage presence and he never had music lessons and couldn’t read or write music notes. Loved his wonderful impersonations. He was a member of Mensa because of his high I.Q. Of 137. All this and he was so good looking and sexy! We were truly blessed to have him for such a short time but the blessings continue as we can still see him in videos and listen to his music. CLASSY was a word invented but Bobby Darin. For those of us who love him, he will forever be here as we continue to listen to his music.
Very well said.
You said it all - thanks
The most well known graduate from The Bronx High School of Science.I don’t care if he was in Mensa Read music 137 IQ The man was one our great singers of the 20th century.And a great performer.!
Bobby and Sammy Davis Jr. were the two greatest entertainers of my lifetime...and Sammy Davis Jr. himself said that Bobby Darin was the one performer that he never wanted to ever have to follow on stage. Sammy said that! WOW!
I still love him after all this time. He had trouble breathing, that’s why he asked for the band to wait a minute. He had heart trouble. He was a great artist. Played many instruments. He had a heart operation and unfortunately he died. RIP dear friend who entertained me but he never knew me, but I knew him.
It's not a performance it's an offering.
Maybe someday, some people, after hearing an offering,
finally won't feel this 'need' to compare it to other offerings as merely an opportunity to argue over whose 'better'.
Won't hold my breath, but one can hope. I hear this offering & it absolutely sends me, solidifying the deep fact
that 'the good really do die young' (i.e., graduate from this life *way ahead of* the rest of us).
I am 82 and this is my kind of music❤
I am 68 and its my kind of music too.
Age 72...and ditto!
The innocence of youth will never come again. Too bad we don’t understand this until we have gained life experiences & by then the innocence is gone forever.
Why can't anyone write songs like this today? Sad!
I think the record companies are not interested...Less money than rap music ... sigh...
Thanks Joyce for visiting The Hammer Works.
@@blazingchris5048 dont pick on rap, all the genres of music have been totally exploited and ruined by the music INDUSTRY. Thats what happened to songs like this.
I agree.
It is from a failed Broadway musical - All American and the only tune that survived into popularity. From 1960's.
Just so sad and lonely but so Beautiful.
Seeing him struggle to catch his breath at the beginning of the song, he knew he had eventually fatal heart issues but really delivered on this song as he always did. Iconic performer indeed.
The story of his "death" is a lie. A myth to make you believe in the "tragedy" - very similar to Mozart, who was also murdered. If he were really that heart-sick, he could not sing at all.
@@psalm2764 tell us what the truth is because I've thought this before
@@housebaelishgaming The truth is that Bobby was murdered. I have had aortic valve replacement surgery and I know that if Darin had been "heart sick", he would not been able to sing, let alone dance AND sing, like he did. Bobby Darin was a friend of Kennedy. And what happened to all of them? John, Bobbby, John Jr. and before all of them John´s brother, I believe his name was Joseph - all murdered. If you want to know the truth, the "feud" goes back to Esau and Jacob. Esau still hates his brother Jacob.
@@psalm2764 I see interesting God bless you
bobby suffered from the same complaint as myself cardiomyopathy.heart failure or enlarged heart to the ignorant.up until the end of the 80s it was basically incurable and is still now except for highly risky transplants.problem is it often is diagnosed so late that your faulty heart has worked at such a slow rate that rejection and failure of all your other organs make many sufferers ineligible.your kidneys for example take a hiding due to the amount of pills you take daily just to keep your heart going.since the 80s the use of beta blockers and a strictly monitored regime of other drugs wafarine diuretics and the like has extended the life span of victims greatly.just under twenty years ago with my heart working at 25 percent i was given a choice 6 weeks to live or take part in a 5 year experimental scheme under barts hospital in london.i was the first catheter ablation ever done on a sick heart.it eliminated the arrythmia and got my heart beating regularly and working more efficiently.its total rubbish as stated here that bobby couldnt sing or perform with the condition.i had been seeing a doctor for a year with what i thought was a heavy cold and he diagnosed as asthma! finally as happens to many patients i collapsed and was technically dead and was resusictated in the ambulance.my lack of breath constant coughing up cataarh and exhaustion were due to my heart not functioning and my lungs filling up with fluid i was literally drowning.i worked at a hard physical job until i collapsed.it turns out as in many cases i had had it for years undiagnosed as is almost always the case and mine was heriditary my mother had an enlarged heart as does my brother.since my surgery i have had to retire take 17 pills a day to stay alive and suffer from chronic fatigue but adjusting to my limitations lead a fairly normal life .trouble was in bobbys day it was a death sentence but as he did you can lead an almost normal life despite fatigue and shortness of breath by taking drugs to ease your condition.problem was then there was no way to prevent the heart declining further and basically wearing out so like bobby you had a limited life expectancy with the end coming extremely quickly in the final stages.thank god now due to medical science the prognosis is not as bleak my brother walks 20 miles a day and while my heart is worse i still manage to do most things i used to do.to say bobby never had it because he couldnt perform if he did is an outright lie from someone who knows nothing about heart failure.
🤔I have always thought that Perry Como sang the song best. He does do a great job of it. BUT, NOW I LOVE Bobby's version because it's SOULFULL and more from the heart. It's like he's telling us a story of the love of his life and he feels every emotion of the words he sings. To me the song is about The Love of my life that I let slip away from me. "Once upon a Time, Never comes again". "MAGNIFICENT 🥰
There is something hauntingly beautiful about the way this great entertainer stops his show to tell us how he was hurt.
Hopefully everyone has this same memory.
Hands down, the best version of Once Upon a Time.
Must say I never associated Bobby with this song, he did it well, very well.
Thanks for checking out The Hammer Works.
I do like this version but Mr. Sinatra does a very touching version, as only he can do.
Carola Becker Bobby means it when he sings though. Had a lot more soul to him than Sinatra did in this, considering this was right after his separation from Sandra Dee.
Dr. killpatient Sinatra wasn’t even half the man Darin was.
So talented, SO underrated...Gone too soon indeed.
April Black....he wasn’t under rated. He just left us way too soon. What a talent. We will never see the likes of our yesteryears stars.
He is definitely not under rated. He pretty much sets the bar.
Never was he under rated and never will be,
I can’t listen to this song without crying.
One day a great singer, a great actor, a great musician, a great songwriter, a great comedian, a great impressionist, and perhaps the greatest nightclub performer ever walked into a bar.
The bartender said "Hello Mr Darin, what'll you have?"
Fantastic anecdote !!! I can't say JOKE; it is not, by any standard, a joke : it's a God's-honest truth.
It's an apocryphal tale I more or less made up. TY so much for the compliment. Bobby was the best. Can you imagine him and Sammy doing a show together?
Edgar Allan Lovecraft
Imagine Bobby's doing this song with Judy Garland : it was originally a two-part, boy/girl interlude in THE ALL AMERICAN, a Broadway flop. Sammy would have to tap dance through my tears afterward.
I heard Al Martino's version on a local radio station. It's fabulous too
Thanks Edgar for the sentiment.
Beyond any doubt one of the most underrated singers ever
Totally agree😊
Poor Bobby couldn’t catch his breath but he got through it I sensed his end was coming to an end sadly He was a good singer. Gone too soon.
Serious congenital heart defect
Heartbreaking to know that he was literally struggling for every breath. When he went off stage they had oxygen at the ready. He is struggling to sing this beautiful song and it makes it that much more poignant.
So sad to learn that. Was that him singing in 2019 as it looks much older and he looks so young
@@chellamia Bobby Darin died on 20 December 1973 due to heart problems.
As a child he was in poor health, according to wikipedia, perhaps due to a poor diet and little medical attention. By the age of 8 he was afflicted with multiple attacks of rheumatic fever. The disease left him with serious heart problems. He once overheard his doctor tell his mother that he would be lucky to make it to 16.
Entertaining made him feel what he couldn’t in real life. Loved.♥️🎇🌅💕🎆
I caught that, too. He went on many times when he shouldn't have. He literally gave his heart to his work. How I wish he still was amongst us!
To BobBonPond. I never tire of watching or listening to Bobby. His CD’s in my car the five year’s my husband was sick kept me together. He’s been gone 20 yrs. and now With You Tube I can watch him anytime I want to. It’s great. 🥰♥️🎼🎶♥️😎
This is amazing. I have always loved Bobby, but this hits it out of the park. He left us too soon...!!
Greatness, personified. There has never been anyone quite like Walden Robert Cassotto. This is one of the best live performances I've ever heard by any artist. Straight from the man's heart. He had no equal. The greatest entertainer who ever lived in my eyes.
Jason Celli so well-put!
Ditto that! So well put. I don't know why I miss him. I never knew the man, but his songs made their way into my life, once upon a time ago. ;-)
He really nailed it here. Superb, like watching a movie. This is how you interpret a song.
Yes! Bobby Darin was absolutely wonderful!
No Sinatra sang it
Another great talent who passed away so young. This is the song dedicated to Ms. Sandra Dee. God Bless Mr. Bobby Darin wherever you are.
Thanks tony for visiting my site and for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Bobby Darin could do it all. Write & sing his own songs, act, perform. I saw him perform in Las Vegas. During his show he played practically every instrument in the orchestra. Possibly the greatest entertainer of the century. What a shame he died so young.
Thanks for checking out my site and for sharing your thoughts.
Wow, would love to have seen him perform. Just now learning about him. This is my favorite performance off this beautiful song.
Best, most sensitve, version of this sing ever. What we lost when we lost Bobby Darin!
This is my, your, our Human-ness.......when we're past thirty years old, we haul our baggage as best we can, hoping to find someone who'll help carry the load; who'll let us help with their burden.

Beautifully said.
How do you listen to this and not well up?? You can't be human if this song does nothing for you.
Thanks Chris for checking out my site and for your comment.
Chris Lacona SO, SO TRUE!!!
It does. I’m 64, my wife of 45 years is 63. It does make me well up.
@@janhammer39 this is simply beautifull
My old friend liked him. So I'm looking him up, here. She was right, he was very handsome & an awesome singer 🌟
There are performances that come along so rarely where artist and material are in perfect harmony, and this is one of those, simply one of the greatest performances of a song ever captured. Perfection.
Bobby Darin’s interpretation of this song is so personal & real. I think this is his love song & regret to Sandra Dee.
Bobby outclassed them all, not only on this one, but as to stage presence.
JP Davis what an astute observation... so true!
You can see him struggling to recover here in this live performance...despite having to gasp for air, he gave killer performances. He could interpret good songs like this as well as Frank...and like Frank, he cared about the songs.
I agree with many of the glowing comments here. Bobby was a MASSIVE and underappreciated talent. Like some other multi-talented people, he was not just a rock 'n roll singer. He could sing country and the American Songbook popular songs just as well.
He wrote music and could play a number of instruments.
He was nominated for an acting Oscar. Some people were born to be on stage/perform...Bobby was one of them. Others with multiple talents who come to mind are Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, and Frank.
It was so sad that Bobby died so young...and he knew that he would because of his frail heart...they had told him that he might not live past 21. Some of our brightest lights flickered off too soon-- see also Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, and Buddy Holly.
The consummate professional, even under such adversity as his illness. He has my lifetime respect.
Thanks for visiting my site and for taking the time to comment.
Never be another Bobby Darin!
Thanks Larry for checking out the site.
Just brilliant
This has got to be one of the most heartfelt songs to ever be sung. His talent was beyond anything you see today..our loss is tremendous and Bobby Darin is an icon in the music industry for ever more!!

Great song sung by the great Bobby Darin
What a performance, he is really living the song
This song always makes me cry
Me too. Loves lost and never recaptured. Cuts like a knife.

Sniff.........
Linda Berg me too it reminds me of the love of my life died this year at 28
I met a girl when I was 16 and we spent 6 hrs together she is / was the love of my life and I wonder where she is every day of my life this song makes me cry he is the best interpreter of a song that I have ever heard this is just the best ever x
He's like Judy Garland here : singing the song and portraying the emotion of its lyric, feeling its intensity and showing it all to us. Awesome song, awesome performer.
+iamintheburg Thanks for visiting the site. As it happens Judy was my cousin.

iamintheburg you are related to the greatest entertainer and singer that God ever created!

I was thinking more like Patsy Cline, but Just was wonderful too.
Wow absolutely amazing
What a beautiful but melancholy song... sung by a great man taken way too soon...
This man was a real artist. The emotion is so strong and so real. RIP Bobby, we still love you man.
I thank you so much for posting this, saw an interview by Dodd Darin their son, Bobby knew he had no education because of his illness that damaged his heart at an early age, but his grand mother (who he thought was his mother) taught him music and stage presence, something he used all his life, he knew he wasn't the most handsome of guys, wore a topee from an early age, but had a swagger and cool factor that no one has ever matched, in my opinion nobody has ever come close to matching this dear humorous man as an entertainer, he was great, and I doubt no one will argue that fact, just unforgettable, and I only know him by his TV performances, my parents albums, and the movie Kevin Spacey made as a tribute to him, his performance was given rewards, the movie kinda flopped. That same year it was released, Sandra Dee passed, she never had another love, I hope they are reunited at some point, that is up to God, but he will forever live on thru his music, he was awesome in so many ways, TY!
Thanks Kathleen for visiting my site and for sharing your thoughts.
His son said it in an interview. I agree with you, he was not only handsome, but had that extra "it" thing that made him so cool. But I guess like many it took time to go from who he was to who he transformed into, and he felt like a fake, but there was nothing fake about him, Bobby Darin will live on forever as just what he was, a great talent, a funny guy, and someone we will never forget! TY for your comment Saphire Blue, Kathleen
The very best. Sadly missed.
This is a true performance. His voice, gestures and subtle emoting bring this very sad song to another level of feeling. Bobby Darin was one of the greats.
The essence of Bobby Darin
An impeccable, great rendition of a great song.
Thanks Eric for checking in with us.
Bobby Darin has this song Hands Down
He does own it. Thanks Jane for tuning in.
Gone way before his time!
Why do all the great artists leave us? Bobby was so talented, he could do it all, write lyrics, compose music, play instruments, do impressions, even had the moves on the dance floor, as least as much as his ailing heart would let him. Gone at 37, what a loss! Thankfully, he left us with some of his recordings so we will never forget him. He lives on!
Bobby Darin singing "Once Upon a Time" is one of the best ... words fail me to describe ...each time I hear him singing it, it is brand new again. You know how songs will sometimes "get stuck" in your mind and it replays over and over? This is the only song that I don't get irritated when it gets "stuck". It's more like a special time for reflection of times and people who've passed through and are gone. Bobby's interpretation of this song is absolutely the best.... He's the only singer who gets all the emotions just right... the sadness, the respect, the youthful idealism, the joy, the regrets of what might have been, the final acceptance.... He just poured himself into it. Okay....for someone who said words failed me, I sure went on and on... Thanks for posting this.

one of my favorite ballads. and Bobby's voice is superb singing it; that vibrato like he's about to cry just melts my heart.
Thanks Jackie for visiting my site and for sharing your thoughts.

It sounds like Bobby is singing with him and Sandy in mind.
The consummate rendition of this song. Bobby Darin's interpretation and haunting, lyrical version is impeccable. -- A close second: AL Martino. But, Bobby -- hands down. R.I.P. Bobby Darin.
Why can't we have music like this anymore? Such sweet and meaningful lyrics sang by a very talented man. With such emotion. Why can't the vocalists we idolize today be like Bobby or Sinatra?
Who idolizes vocalists today? They're crap.
This is my 2nd favorite version of this beautiful song (after Tony Bennett’s‼️). The pure emotion and facial expressions he displays while singing 🎶 brings tears to my eyes 😭 What a voice and to die so young was a devastating loss🥲 May he Rest in Eternal Peace 🙏❤️👏🏻🤩‼️
Without question, Bobby's live version is superior not only to the studio reading (the vulnerability/pain is so moving here), but greater than both Tony Bennett's and Sinatra's. Such feeling. Darin makes it sound as though he's making up the words as he goes along.
Yes. It is vastly superior to Sinatra's version. I am a Sinatra man and I have to say it. I hope the old man will understand!
I couldn't agree more, Gary.
You lost who did it. It was Lee and Bolger. They channeled that joy. Find the root and find the joy
I agree very moving!
Garyb3397 TOTALLY AGREE!!!
I don't know why anybody else would try to do this song having heard Bobby do it, but a lot of folks tried.

The Late GREAT Bobby Darin, I thought he was going to cry during this song. What a great Performer and so missed but only by Boomers and such, I wish a younger generation would discover him again and bring him back ..
We lost a lot when we lost Bobby Darin. He owned this beautiful song.

What a professional. He performed magic with his phrasing, his modulation, his talent. I miss Bobby Darin, Marilyn
Once Upon a Time there was a boy named Bobby thank you universe and God for all the good times we had and thank you for Bobby Darin the best singer wish you could have stayed a while longer
We share the same birth date May 14. God I miss him. This song is brought me to tears I’ve probably listen to it 100 times and will continue listening to it
This beautiful song, especially with Bobby's unique soulful rendition, brings tears to my eyes when I think about how messed up our nation and world has become in this day and age.
He looks so sad as he sings this beautiful song. A love lost is always tough to bare. He sings this song so well. It made me cry.
Bobby sang this from the heart. I truly believe every note/ word he sang. He’s telling us his love story.💕
Thanks Mona for tuning in.
This is still the most beautiful song I have ever heard... Bobby sings with pure emotional soul that he feels and that shows on his face, it still brings me to tears and chills go up my spine every time.... Bobby Darin the greatest entertainer of all time..... Thanks Jan H

Never gets old . He's was he is great .
Bobby Darrin only you can sing this song with passion and heart ..I know Sandra dee must miss you very very much ..The music world misses you !
Love Bobby and I’m so glad I got to see him at the Latin Casino in New Jersey before he passed 🌹💔 He was so talented not only in singing but he played piano, drums, and what a great showman! He gave you your money’s worth and more! He was a decent actor also 🎥 Frank Sinatra didn’t like him, I think he was jealous of all his talent. I never liked Sinatra, I liked his songs but quite a few of them were written by Paul Anka. Rest In Peace Bobby, you are not forgotten 🎵 🎼 🎶 💖🌹🌹
Best performer ever. RIP, Bobby, thank you for giving so much. A star that burns twice as bright will last half as long. You took him too soon, Mr. Magic Man.

I often think that Bobby Darin may have been the greatest American entertainer of the 20th Century. If you think about it, there was hardly anything that he couldn't do. Everything he did do, he excelled at. It's so sad that we had such a short time to experience this incredible individual.
A beautiful song sung so meaningful by the sadly missed Bobby Darin.
Thank you for visiting my channel.
@@janhammer39 Thank you for this very lovely sentimental song by Bobby Darin
Edgar, Edith, garyb and all have said it better than I can. The world, we...lost a beautiful singer, muso, actor, mimic..And yes, bobby brings me to tears singing this song. A song of loss....
Thanks Marilyn for adding your voice.
Simply the best at what he did, which was entertain with every fiber of his being. Bobby Darin didn't simply sing a song, he embraced it. In turn, his audience shared in the energy and warmth that resulted from his unique brand of song styling. He was one-of-a-kind... none better before or since.
