    Jesus was a carpenter. That’s the subtext to Hardin’s song. Bobby returned the favor to Tim by writing “Simple Song of Freedom” for him to record.

    Bobby Darin was an underrated talent. If you can find any video or film of him playing, he was a fantastic guitar player, as well as singer.

      I think a lot of people of Darin's generation was aware of his talents. Certainly other entertainers were, Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra (Frank admitted that Bobby's version of "Mack the Knife" was better than his. Bobby Darin could sing, dance, act and also did impressions. Some clips of the later is available here on Utube.

    I am in my 50's now, but remember this from when I was 18. The person with whom it meant a lot for us, passed away 10 years ago. He meant a lot to me and I still miss him today. So I like seeing you two react to this.

    Darin is the most under appreciated entertainer in the last 100 years. He excelled at nearly all genres & was a superb composer, musician, actor & the ultimate showman. Tony Bennett called him the greatest entertainer he had ever seen.

    Listened to this song on am radio in the car in 1967, my senior year of high school, singing along at the top of my voice knowing full well that carpentry wasn’t part of my skill set. My family will attest to this. I’m not permitted to handle power tools. His ‘Mack the Knife’ is another classic!

    There's another beautiful song, sung by Bobby Darin that is rarely reacted to> "The girl that stood beside me", written by Geffrey Stevens. you can find it on youtube of him singing it live in a Black and white video..In case you don't know there is a video on youtube where Bobby Darin does "comedy Impressions" of famous actors, he was very very good at that too, along with being a singer an actor, wrote a lot of songs and played almost every musical instrument you can think of. Bobby was also in the Mensa Club, an organization for people with extremely high IQ's.

      Beautifully song by Bobby Darin, however it was written by Tim Hardin. I read Robbie Robertson's (of The Band) book "Testimony, and he writes about a somewhat disturbing incident when both Robbie and Tim was living in Woodstock. Tim stopped by Robbie's house, with his young son. Somehow a big stack of records, the old LP'S, feel from a table to the floor. Robbie saw the incident and the boy did nothing, yet Tim started to yell at him. Robbie got upset and called him out, then offered to drive him home, didn't think he was in a condition to drove. TIm refused. Robbie's wrote he had great succes with "If I were a carpenter", but obviously had some personality issues.

    Interestlngly, Tim Hardin reckoned that Bobby didn't have a voice of his own. For example, Bobby's version of "Carpenter" draws very heavily on Tim's vocal. All the swing numbers Bobby did were a Sinatra rip-off. " Splish Splash " is a Jerry Lee Lewis homage.
