Like a lot of people who knew Bobby personally, I miss him all the time. He left a void that's impossible to fill. He was kind, compassionate, brilliant, artistic, understanding. An angel among us.
My father was the Darin's pediatrician. In time, the Darins became family friends. We used to go the all their parties and went to see Bobby perform countless times. As you can imagine, it was a total blessing. When I was 19, I started writing songs for Bobby's publishing company. We remained close friends until just before he died.@@timetowakeup6302
Bobby Darin was one of those extremely rare performers that actually sound and sing better live than on a record. Every time I listen to a live Darin performance I’m always blown away
Couldn’t agree more. Bobby had an incredible feel for how to convey the emotion of a lyric or a story like no other. It can be seen in his acting as well, which is extraordinarily underrated and underappreciated. In my humble estimation, Bobby Darin was the greatest overall entertainer of the 20th century. There will never be another anything like him.
Many many terrific vocalists have done this great song. For me BD offers a reading that takes your heart . What a wonderful vocalist . God bless his soul . There will never be another. Go on soulman !!!
Hands down ...one of the best soulful singers ever, if not the best...Bobby's voice is so clear, so deep and soulful - you can feel every word..it gives me chills. This is how this song is suppose to be sung.
The piano player is Bob Rozario. He was one of the dearest friends of my life, as well as my piano player and arranger. He always laid out the harmonicas for Bobby before a show. On this taping Bobby insisted that he would do it and they went back and forth about it with Bobby getting his way. When he begins playing the wrong one, Bob is livid as he's glaring at Bobby because this is exactly what he was trying to avoid. I have one of those harmonicas. I don't know if I have the "wrong one" or one of the others.
Thanks so much for sharing that. I've seen this performance dozens of times and could notice Bob's frustration at Bobby here... What's most incredible in my view though, is how Bobby just seemingly brushes it off, and then so masterfully closes out the performance like the master he is, in total command, grace and style. For what it's worth I've seen thousands of performers in my day. In my estimation Bobby is the best who has ever done it.
^^^A Genuine thank you. As many times I've watched this clip, I was curious to know if there was more to the story than merely grabbing the wrong key harp. As performers, it's sometimes too easy to have a number of things go wrong per show with the amount of variables and hands required to pull it off, some hands more reliable than others. It's quite funny see "the look", because I've given that same look to many a band mate as Bob did to Bobby- "the look" is usually comprised of worry and panic, followed by a LOT of trying to signal to the member to stop and realize, and ending with an "I told you so", all bottled within just a few seconds, but lord, feels like a lifetime while it's happening. xD
My heart ❤️ BOBBY WAS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF THE 20th CENTURY I USED TO THINK THIS SONG WAS BORING SORRY PAUL BUT WHEN BOBBY DOES IT ITS DONE. DARIN STYLE ❤HE HAD A COLD HERE TOO AND STILL MAGNIFICENT ❤❤

Wow! Just wow! BOTW was arguably the most important song of its era. Darin captures with his interpretation the yearning, the searching that my generation was doing at that time. I agree with a comment below that his voice just got better with time.

There is no doubt Bobby was and is one of our great vocalist . Rip you are sadly missed.

So true, Mack the Knife at the Flamingo in 1963 sounds so much better than the original recording, besides his singing, the band was also outstanding
