- From Bobby's one hour show "The Bobby Darin Amusement Company" which premiered on NBC on July 27, 1972 and ran until his death in December of 1973.
"Alone Again (Naturally)" is a song by Irish singer--songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan. It was released in 1972, and in total spent six weeks, non-consecutively, at #1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In Casey Kasem's American 'Top 40 of the 1970s', "Alone Again (Naturally)" ranked as the fifth most-popular song of the decade (Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" was #1). "Alone Again (Naturally)" also spent six weeks at number one on the Easy Listening chart.[1] The track reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
It is an introspective ballad, starting with the singer telling of his plans to commit suicide after being left at the altar, and then telling about the death of his parents. O'Sullivan has said that the song is not autobiographical, as he did not know his father (who died when O'Sullivan was 11) very well, and that his father had mistreated his mother.[3] "Alone Again (Naturally)" is included on O'Sullivan's The Berry Vest of Gilbert O'Sullivan album (2004) on the EMI record label. Big Jim Sullivan plays the guitar break in the original recorded version of the song.
The landmark 1991 copyright case Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc. centered on the unauthorized use of a sample from "Alone Again (Naturally)" by rapper Biz Markie.
He sings with such sorrowful emotion that I feel like crying. He seemed to feel each song in his soul. This song seems to reflect the last days of his life. Divorced, lonely and so very sick. No one should have to die this way. Dodd Darin says in his book about his dad that Bobby was angry his health had failed him and afraid to die.. Before surgery, he went into a coma and after the 6 hour procedure, he never woke up. Bobby said “I want to be remembered as a great entertainer and as a human being”. YOU DID THAT AND THEN SOME! In 2021 I’m grieving for the loss that no entertainer can fill and the loss of a wonderful human being who wanted equal rights for each and everyone. Love you always, Bobby. I’ll never forget you and I’m grateful I can see your videos and hear your sweet voice.
I agree , he felt that , and we can feel him. .💔
He always knew his fate, and lived every day as if it was his last. Wish I had that courage.
@@MrRonk55The same here as Bobby Darin 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢!
The same here as Bobby Darin 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢!
This version never fails to make me weep. Thank you Bobby.
Thanks Billy for checking in with us.
Hes probably doing it that way so he could make it thru it. Gilbert he’s not.
@@rickberry4477 I vastly prefer this arrangement to the original.

Same here. So much more feeling of the emotional depth here. Bobby was a master.
Darin looks haggard and clearly troubled, but his voice is magnificent and his sober, elegant interpretation, so minimal and gesture-free is extraordinary!! Rest in peace, Beautiful man!!!
You do know that he was on the verge of dying here, right? Literally... He was dead within 6 months of this performance. His heart was failing.
@@timetowakeup6302 Magnificently sad...Thank you for your note!
You can tell he is not well here. God bless him. Miss him.
Yes he was a show biz legend truly talented
I listen to him daily!!
Man, that rhythm section is outstanding. The drummer and bassist change up to something so interesting in every phrase. Frightening to be so tight. I’d be nervous, yet honored to play with a stage band of that quality.
THIS IS A TYPICAL BOBBY DARIN RENDITION HE WAS A FABULOUS ACTOR SINGER BOBBY WAS THE BEST ENTERTAINER OF THE 20th CENTURY PERIOD RIP ANGEL 😇 🙏💯🏴🇺🇸☝️🌹
This is untouchable - so emotional - I don’t remember ever hearing such a truely wrenching performance by anyone. The poignancy of the bridge lyrics about hearts that can’t be mended- and Bobby had a heart defect that I believe he knew could not be mended. Wow! Unbelievably tragic.
Totally agree with all the comments praising Bobby's sensitive treatment of Gilbert o Sullivants moving lament.
Most people will suffer some tragic loss in their lifetime and only recently my beloved wife of 55 years passed away so I can certainly relate to the lyrics as expressed in this balled.

Merry Christmas everyone. 2o2o
Non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare la grandezza e l assoluta perfezione nel cantare di bobby
Oh gosh you can really see in his face that he wasn’t feeling well. His voice was still strong with the emotion only he could put into a song. I wish I could hug him and tell him how wonderful he was 😢
Talent at the highest level. I love it.
Spot on
Beautiful version of this song. The arrangement is perfect and Bobby sings it perfectly
An amazing melancholic dreadfully beautiful version
I agree beautiful
A great song from Gilbert O' Sullivan, That's a great version from the legend, thank you!
Have & Love everything Bobby Darin, he was starting to get really sick here. No one entertains better even over 40 years later. Keep up the good work Jan Hammer, there is still so much more to share with the world, of Bobby Darin.
Bobby Darin what a great voice lovely guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
THIS SONG CAME OUT IN THE SUMMER OF 1972 AND IT WAS MADE POPULAR BY GILBERT O' SULLIVAN. BOBBY DARIN HAD 1.5 YEARS TO LIVE. HOW SAD!
ROBERT STACK Made popular by Gilbert O Sullivan? You got to give him more credit than that. O Sullivan wrote and composed this song and had a massive hit with it.
I never like this song when I first heard it until what I heard Bobby Darin and I love it now
Thanks Alan for tuning in.
What a heartbreaker of a tune.I wish BD had sung more Jazz treatments. He could swing. Great singing here. Nearing the end of his short life , but voice was at it's most expressive and beautiful here IMO. Miss you Bobby D
PS I dig the drummer's playing
A great, great man, a great singer/artist rendering with perfectly sensitive accompaniment a perfect song so full of pathos that it takes you in to the end. God blessed Bobby Darin, R.I.P..
Thanks Peter for tuning in.
Wow, this arrangement is amazing.
I sat enthralled listening to this great singer singing a great song. You'd be hard pushed to find a better version than this.
The original is pretty great too :)
Ive listened to many versions from great singers, but this is the very best
Beautiful interpretation . Takes this tune to a whole new level ! Miss you Bobby D

For my money Bobby was the best all around entertainer of the bunch. Guy could do it ALL, and do it well.

The best version of this song except Gilbert's that I've heard!
Absolutely Brilliant
Bobby the best. Rest in peace.
Oh, thank you Bobby ... thank you so much.
The saddest song ever.
So good, a great version of a great song , and that's enough for endless argument; but, It is so very moving, sharp, relevant, worth the mention of Robert Cassotto as a pop great.
EXCELLENT⚘ FABOULOUS⚘ AWESOME ⚘
Bobby Darin the voice 50 and 60.
We miss you Bobby !
Very very nice interpretation
Now that is just super cool. Thanks Hammer!
Thanks for checking out my site.
@@janhammer39 Great site... Thank you... The first time I heard "Splish-Splash in 1958 on Atco, I could swear it was Fats Domino...
@@blossom1gardner Thanks Mikey for tuning in.
Thank you!
Beautiful
I wish his version was more readily available. It beautifully captures its melancholy while delivers the signature Bobby swing!
East Coast people enjoy this interpretation.
Magnificent! Thank you Jan.
Thanks for tuning in.
Magic
Yep, this was super good. I adored Mama Cass, this song had the rarity of good
music and lyrics..........I loved his work, nice that people like Buble come around, but
it's not as good.........we're blessed to have this
Thanks for your comment.
muito bom, viva Bobby!
never knew he recorded this!
Thank you for visiting my site and for your comment.
S.U.P.E.R.B R.I.P LEGEND !!
Thanks Al for checking out my site and for your comment.
"ONCE UPON A TIME"...WALDEN ROBERT CASSOTTO
My life song must be heard be heard by everyone quality
Hé seems so tired and sick...
Bobby was in the strange niche between Sinatra and the Beatles
Is that Neil Sedaka on piano? I know he played in the studio on several tracks. Looks like him!
No
❤🌈☘️
Donny osmond did a great job too
The drummer is in the wrong band
Emmmmmmmmmm. No
His toupee is a little phony looking on this particular episode of his show!
🍳👎👎👎👎👎👎
I have never liked this song. It is full of self pity and just not for me.
Sure, Bobby sings it a hundred times better than the original but somehow it doesn't seem right Bobby should sing such a depressing song. Nobody matches near to him when he is singing one of his bouncy foot-tapping and finger -snapping numbers like 'Things' or 'Dream Lover'. This is no condemnation of the brilliant Bobby, just my opinion of a miserable song.
Alone Again is a lament as the lyrics clearly imply. Gilbert O'Sullivan was simply expressing the emotions of people who have lost a loved one.

Merry Christmas everyone.
@@richardtynan2805 No, Gilbert was expressing his OWN emotions. I love the guy but I dislike this record. I COULD LISTEN TO ALL HIS OTHER SONGS ALL DAY. HE IS TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC.
@@richardtynan2805Merry Christmas Dick. A great New Year Too. Greetings from Middlesbrough.
