- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Bobby Darin, the charismatic and multi-talented American singer, songwriter, and actor, left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry during his tragically short life. Born as Walden Robert Cassotto on May 14, 1936, Darin faced adversity from an early age due to childhood rheumatic fever, which left him with a weakened heart and a sense of urgency to achieve his dreams. Despite the odds, he soared to stardom in the late 1950s with hits like "Splish Splash" and "Dream Lover," showcasing his dynamic vocal range and captivating stage presence.

While many are familiar with his chart-topping songs, there are numerous aspects of Bobby Darin's life and career that remain hidden gems. His name change, inspired by a roadside restaurant sign and the boxer Bobby Orr, marked the beginning of his transformation into the charismatic performer fans adored. Darin's versatility extended beyond his vocal talents; he was a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, proficient in guitar, piano, and drums. He was also a gifted songwriter, penning many of his own hits, including the Grammy-winning "Mack the Knife."
Darin's life was characterized by both personal triumphs and tribulations. His high-profile marriage to actress Sandra Dee, which led to the birth of their son, Dodd, was widely publicized, but few may know that their divorce in 1967 marked a challenging period in his personal life. Despite their separation, Darin remained dedicated to his son.
In addition to his music and acting careers, Bobby Darin was an activist who used his platform to support civil rights causes. His participation in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom underscored his commitment to social justice. He also ventured into business, establishing his own record label and music publishing company.
Tragically, Bobby Darin's life was cut short when he passed away at the age of 37 in 1973 due to complications from heart surgery. His untimely death was a poignant reminder of the fragility of life, but his enduring legacy lives on through his timeless music and the many facets of his life that fans may not know. Bobby Darin's story is a testament to resilience, creativity, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence, making him an unforgettable figure in the annals of entertainment history.

Close family friend. I broke my collarbone body surfing at his Malibu house when I was 13. He took me to the hospital. I attended the Renaissance Pleasure Faire with he and Sandra (and a bunch of very famous Hollywood folks) in '66 He used to drop by and tune my moms guitar. What a beautiful soul.
I was a 14 yr old when I saw Bobby Darin in England in 1956. He was absolutely fantastic. I have never forgotten that concert and knew he would be a superstar. He died way too young. I think my favorite song was splish splash as that was the first one I ever heard from him. Now I love If I was carpenter. RIP never forgotten.
Bobby D. was far too young and talented to have died so young, like a flame that burns bright, but only for a short while. I'll always love his music.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Bobby. Made us miss him more. Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
Thank you for the compliment. I like all Bobby Darin's music. "If I Were a Carpenter" is my favorite.@@FactsVerse
There's no such thing as "too young and talented" to die. He was a great entertainer though.
In 1961, I took my then girlfriend to the Copa Cabana for her 17th birthday. He was Spectacular!! He sang, danced, pranced played multiple instruments and when it was all done I said to myself, that's what I want to do. Subsequently I played in Rock N Roll bands from 61- 70!
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I was only 9 years old when Bobby Darin died. He was my first celebrity crush. He made me fall in love with swing music that I still love today. I miss Bobby Darin, too young to leave us but left an impact that will live forever.
I was 16 when he died and loved his music. I also saw the movie that show his biography and thought it was done well.
@@pjjj8117 If you're speaking of "Beyond The Sea", I had to buy it! I love that movie and I agree totally it was done quite well.

I saw him in Las Vegas. By the time I made it back from vacation, they had announced his death! I was stunned and shattered as his performance was so flawless you would never have known he was that sick. So sad.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your life story. Made us miss Bobby and his songs.
I worked for years with a doctor who was part of a care team at Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA. He said that Daren lived a very fast paced life. This life style along with his heart problems contributed to his early demise. He also thought that the quality of his life and the things he wanted to accomplish were important to him. He wanted the best life he could have and chose not to live like a cardiac cripple. It was his choice and lived the way he wanted to live and contributed so much in his short but extremely incredible life and brought so much though his entertainment. He was one who touched so many in such a positive way. We still miss him
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this info about the life of Bobby. may he find peace 🙏
Well said
I'm a very big fan of Bobby and I wanna thank you for this video, through which I hope more people will learn about him and his work. One of my favourite songs is "Simple song of freedom" which he wrote and sang himself and also his live cover of "bridge over troubled water" which always makes me cry. A thing I'd like to point out is that he didn't stop singing in 1972! In 1973 he had his own tv show and dozen and dozen of concerts until summer of that year. He loved singing so much he had to stop between songs to take oxigen since he was getting sicker and sicker. He was so ahead of his time, I often wonder what he could have done if only he hadn't died so young. He'll never be forgotten
Mine too. Good song!
Bobby Darin was a great actor. His music was equally great. My favorite song, "Dream Lover."
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Dream Lover, 1959 I believe was also song of the year and for good reason. It has stood the test of time. What a great talent Bobby was, what a great song!
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Bobby was only four years older than me and I was stunned to learn of his death at such an early age. I was a fan of his music and watched his television show religiously. I guess if I had to pick one, Mac the Knife was my favorite. However, I enjoyed just about everything he put on vinyl.
No one could swing like Bobby Darin. Great vocal style!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Bobby. Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
Beyond The Sea and Black Coffee are two favs ;-) @@FactsVerse

Bobby Darin was a class act! I was never a fan of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” until I saw Bobby sing in it on
on film during one of his shows. No one performed that song with so much raw emotion as Mr. Bobby Darin.
The film “Pressure Point” is my favourite of his films. What an incredible actor he was, a multi talented entertainer. unique!

A super gifted musician, singer and performer, an untimely end. RIP Mr. Darin.
Thank you so much for your beautiful message for Bobby. In your opinion, what is his finest song?
@@FactsVerse I really dig "If I Were A Carpenter"
whenever I am a little melancholily, I mix a drink and before heading to bed I watch the live shot video of "don't rain on my parade". brings a smile to my face every time and puts my spirit in a better place.
Bobby Darin died at 37 having open heart surgery. A terrific talent who died much too young. The person who thought was his sister, but actually his mother new of his health issues & should have kept her mouth shut! RIP 💥
Jack Nicholson had a similar family arrangement. He found out later in his life.
Also, Tom Dreesen was not raised by his biological father.
This was more common than people want to believe
Ted bundy too……
Sad but true. We love Bobby. Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
One of the most versatile and great singers ever. A real singer. Frank Sinatra even spoke highly about Darin and his singing. There will never be another one like him.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!
Thanks. My favorite memory of Bobby Darin is the way things, some things, were then, elegant, genuine, enduring.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
“Beyond the Sea”, this song is hard to beat, IMO. I was just barely a teenager when he died. For years I wondered what had happened to him because I never saw him again. Then the movie starring Kevin Spacey pretty much cleared up what did happen to him. I’m sure the movie took some details & blew them up, Bigger than life, but also left some details out. Who knows.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! Which song comes in at second place?
Bobby wasn't in Gidget. The wedding was not a high profile ceremony. My fave songs of Bobby's were Dream Lover and Beyond the Sea.
concur both sides
As a young teenager, I loved Bobby Darin and Tony Curtis. Bobby Darin was the epitome of suave.
Us too! thanks for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Bobby Darin and Tony Curtis were my favorites also.
Me too
I always felt a connection to Bobby because of his rhumatic fever and bad heart because that is my story too.
I loved his music…still listen to him! I didn’t know he was an actor too.
Not only did he act in movies, but he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Captain Newman, M.D. (1963). It can be found on RUclips.
@@roccocontrino2502 wow didn’t know that
Glad to know that you discovered something new about Bobby. Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
I saw him on a rerun of What’s My Line. He was a classy, kind and respectful person.
Dream lover was such an awesome song and it will always be an awesome rock and roll memory for me ❤

Along with Sammy Davis the greatest all-around entertainer of the 20th Century. He and Sammy could do it all! Man, if they would have done some shows together, what spectacular shows they would have been!

Love his timeless songs. Easy to see that he knew he had a limited time. ❤
Us too but wait, which of Bobby's songs appealed to you the most?
My favorite is Artificial Flowers, because, first of all, I love children and the Orphan Anny story this song tells tugs at my heart strings.
I developed a crush on him around the age if six & still have it today. Loved all his songs & yes he could change with the times. Also loved his movies. He was so cute & so talented. I still miss hi..
I loved The Curtain Falls the best. Live at the Flamingo !!

My father loved Mac the Knife. So sad he died so young. So did Sandra Dee. I do not think she ever got over him and loved him until the day she died.
My favorite song when I was 5 was Mac the Knife. I knew every word. Still do. Wish I could have seen him in person. What an extraordinary talent. Love you, Bobby. See you on the other side.❤
Us too! Thanks ofr sharing your thougths. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

Just loved his music, he was a great entertainer a very talented person.
Bobby was very handsome. He could dance & sing at the same time.He was smart, funny, /.He could make you laugh and cry with his songs. He seemed to be a good man. I loved his song "FREEDOM". Never be another Bobby Darin.
I think his best song was "Once apon a Time." Many other performers recorded it, but his version was the best. I find it hard to listen to his version because it reminds me of a lost love.

I don't remember most of his songs I was only a teenager and now I'm 70 but I do remember his very charismatic performances in the movies and his high profile divorce from Sandra I truly loved Bobby Darren and I will always
Shortly before his death, he went to the dentist without taking the usual antibiotics, which he knew he was supposed to do given his damaged heart, to avoid a dangerous infection. A mystery to tempt fate this way, especially for someone who enjoyed life and was planning another tour.
Yes, whenever you have even a heart murmur, antibiotics are required...
@@georgeelder8415I never knew that
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this info about Bobby. May he find peace 😢😢
His Dodd said his dad was just tired of the routine of constant medical care and not living a normal life. You can say Bobby went out on his own terms.
He was the best.
He had congestive heart disease. Such a performer to the end. After he stepped off stage, they handed him the oxygen. Lived on BC! Nevada in my teens and remember him being a headliner in VEGA. My parents loved him. my dad of heart disease in 72. movie, please?
Sad but true! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your life story. May your father and Bobby find peace.
Great Performer, my favorite song is Somewhere beyond the sea. It has a special place in my ❤️ from my Trip to Italy with Mom and my cousins.. 😢
No mention of his early success with the band called The Rinky - Dinks. He was the lead singer and co- wrote the song "Early In The Morning". That is one of my favorite songs by him.

Thanks for the video.
I knew very little about Bobby Darin because I was not into his type of music. In fact, I could not stand the song, "Mac the Knife" because I heard it too often and I did not understand the lyrics.
However, thanks to this video, I have a great appreciation for Bobby Darin as a person.

Bobby Darin is the MAN!
Bobby Darin was a wonderful singer beautiful voice miss you🙏❤️

Many people die young, and have success at early ages.His life and death weren't tragic . He had a heart condition, that caused early death. This was fate, not tragedy
Bobby Darin personified cool.

Bobby Darin was NOT in Gidget! That was James Darin. I would think you would check your facts. Loved both of them. Did you learn about his romance with Connie Francis? They wanted to marry, but her father wouldn't allow it. That was before Sandra Dee.
As a young teenager I and my friends always followed the top forty song rankings that was published every week. I remember that for many , many weeks “MackThe Knife” was at the top at number one. It almost became predictable.
Bobby Darin was the one performer I always wanted to see live, in person. But it never came to be. A big disappointment.
I remember my Mother bought the single Mack the knife and played it on the record player all the time ,
I really like Dream Lover from him 🙂
Wow, what a tragedy, there should have been many more decades of hit records for Bobbt Darin. 😮
The Party's Over and Two Of A Kind with Johnny Mercer are my favourites.

How is Bobby's son doing, what did he do with his life?
A few years ago, Dodd Darin wrote a book about his parents and his relationship with them, called "Dream Lovers". It's a well-written book, respectful to everyone while still being honest. I recommend it. Dodd Darin got married and has children, but more than that I do not know.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!
one heck of a big band singer--my favs beyond the sea, mack the knife and clementine--i like em all!!

You do tell those lies. First time I've listened to one in a long time.
He was brilliant in so many ways, musical, acting, and comic (even excellent impersonations). He truly could do it all and he could entertain in multiple genres, rock, folk, country, just an amazing talent. And brilliant as in all of the above plus I read somewhere his IQ was Mensa/140s I believe. So sad he died so young. We can only wonder what other things he would have achieved in the entertainment and in political headlines.

His wife, Sandra Dee, played Gidget in the first Gidget movie, but I don't recall him being in any other Gidget-based shows. He was in at least 3 movies with her, though.
I named my youngest son after Bobby Darin, He was born June 16 1977 and I named him Darin.
Thank you so much for sharing! You're a true fan. What is your most memorable song of Bobby?
Ah, Mac the Knife. Who from the 60’s can forget it!

Well...he lived longer than my uncle who was the same age and had the same damaged heart. He lived only to age 22 and never got to be married or be a father.

Bobby had dental work, and because his heart was compromised by childhood rheumatic fever, he was required to take coagulation. For whatever reason, he stopped taking them. So when the time came to do a routine (sort of) valve change operation, he developed septacimia. Thus, his heart rejected the effects of the operation and died during surgery. Make good choices, people.
This fact thing never gets anything right

Years ago I read, can't remember where, that Darin was crushed when he found out that the woman he grew up thinking was his sister was really his biological mother. He had recently gotten divorced from Sandra Dee and people close to him said he stopped taking his heart medication knowing he would die without it.
A commenter here said he didn't take an antibiotic before dental surgery, knowing it could kill him. That ties into the theory above.
But he didn't die during heart surgery.
Somewhere beyond the sea Somewhere. 🌊

His death could not be more tragic than we were told. Nothing can be more tragic than death. He had heart problems all of his life. I think that was a fairly well-known fact.

Bobby Darin never drank or took drugs but was one of the greatest entertainers of all time I said this before but I met tony Orlando at the bottom line in Manhattan about 25 years ago he told me he and Sammy went to see Bobby’s show in Vegas and Sammy turned to him and said you know tony that’s one guy I’d hate to follow the Sammy I’m talking about was Sammy Davis jr now that’s pretty heavy bobby came on like a rocket he said he’d like to be a legend by 25 because he figured he die by 25 the man could do anything Phil caggiano
