Darin, Bobby - In Memoriam Lyrics

I loved Bobby Daren💖 Such a shame he left this Earth too young 😢 I’m so glad I got to see him at the Latin Casino in NJ, great showman!! We miss you Bobby but you’ll never be forgotten 🙏🏻💖

Does anyone know what year Bobby sang if on his tv show

I remember the day I heard he had passed away...I broke down and cried. I was only in junior high, but i was a huge fan.

What’s more tragic? That Bobby Darin died young or the fact we’ll never see the movie about his life because Kevin Spacey played him

Power voice.

Oh man that was good Mr. Jimmy Scalia thank you very much

Bobby was so talented and soulful ___ his music is forever RIP soulman ___ we still listen

Someone said once, during the Sinatra, Como, Damone etc. era: Wow, those Italians can really sing! It's so true, I don't know what that gene is in their make up, but they sure have it! From the Venetians in their Gondolas, to the fabulous opera singers, to the male and female singers of Italian heritage that we've admired for so long and still do, they are vocally superiorly talented, it seems! And Bobby had a tremendous influence on many singers during his time and long after. People recognized that his talent was special.
Well, the curtain finally fell for Bobby, but I still love him singing "The Curtain Falls" such a frightfully predictive song for him. What a talented, dynamic performer who had a superb voice! We will always miss him. (In the above film clip, his son has his eyes and his mother's smile.) Thankfully, we have a few recordings of Bobby's that help us remember the man who was tragically taken from us 45 year ago at age 37, but who didn't think he'd have that long so certainly made the most of his time here!

INDIMENTICABILE BOBBY!

There was only ONE Bobby Darin. Though we never met, I did know his late conductor, Bob Rozario. Bob and I had many conversations about Bobby Darin's talent. Bobby Darin was my boyhood idol, one of the many performers who inspired me to become an entertainer. I still am a fan and I miss his talent as we lost him much, much too soon.

Bobby WAS special, and the impetus for many male singers of his era to pursue their talents! He was 100 times better than Elvis, who, most people don't realize, couldn't play much more than 4 chords on his guitar and didn't have much of a vocal range either, but that hip-shaking and hair hanging across his forehead, sure got the girls! Personally, I couldn't see much past that sneer, which was detrimental to many of us, but he WAS polite, yes-maam and no-maam, etc. But his talent was NOTHING like Bobby Darin's!

Bobby Darin TheGreatest showman That Ever Live the man could sing any kind of song Rock and Roll - Jazz - Country - Folk -Pop - Standards - and in 1968 recorded a song called Me And Mr Honner which if you take out the guitar could be the very first Rap record I saw Bobby just once at the Copa in 1972 he could do Sinatra better Then Sinatra Bobby Rest In Peace Phil Caggiano

excellent

Goosebumps and tears! Thanks for this tribute video, Jimmy, keep up the great work on BD! - from Ruby AC (new BD convert) :-)

Some of These Days - who could ever sing like that?!! - with such charisma, swag, swing, persona, power, and everything else one could ever want and look for in a singer/performer!!! Truly MAGICAL!!!

Beyond the Sea - OMG!!! Such Charm! FANTASTIC, COOL VOICE!!!

IF - SOULFUL! STIRRING! PRICELESS!!! stirs the depths of one's soul!

Thank you....I've enjoyed Bobby's talent since 1957/1958. I was a very young girl and met him at a record promotion in Boston(Quincy ).
Have enjoyed him ever since. Can't believe all these years have gone by since that day and I'm still totally enjoying his wonderful unbelievable talent.

This work was the greatist,,Bobby we still love you

Pound for pound what a great on stage presence to his great music.He was Best!
.

Mike Mangan TOTALLY AGREE!!

Beautifully done, Jimmy.

this is great!!thank you!!

The best. Miss ya Walden Robert Cassotto.

Great job, Jimmy!  Bobby was incomparable. Had he lived he would have been THE singer. He could sing jazz, pop, R&B, folk, etc. Who else before or since was so versatile? And as a live performer, he left them all in the dust. My Dad, God rest his soul, was the biggest Sinatra fan whoever lived. He owned every Sinatra 78 ever made. Yet, when he watched Bobby performed, he'd lean over and whisper: "Darin was better than Sinatra. I can see why Frank was intimidated by him." Not to take away from Frank, but Bobby could sing swing, rock, blues. He was a GARGANTUAN talent. God bless, paisano.

ChristopherRosato GOOSEBUMPS on your comments! It affirmed my feelings and views all along! ( Ruby AC, new BD convert:-) )

Frank Sinatra was NEVER "Intimidated" by anyone! But he always praised a lot of singers of his era, and he probably mentioned Bobby also, as those Italianos really could sing and they stuck together! Como, Vic Damon, Tony Bennett, and others as well.

Thank you Jimmy for this moving tribute to such a great, great man. I cried a tear at the end.

BD had left us for 41 years now but his music still much alive..THANK YOU for the video clip in his memoriam..Thank you👍

To  Jimmy Scalia- thanks for sharing this great tribute to Bobby Darin's, life-the best.

Físicamente nos dejó hace 41 años, pero sigue y seguirá aquí para siempre. Gracias por su video en este día.

Jimmy, this video collage is just superb. I had tears in my eyes while I watched it. Bobby is so terribly missed to this day!  Thank you for posting this wonderful series of memories.  Oh, and thank you for checking with Steve about the sculpture photos. I was hoping beyond hope that Dodd had it in his possession. Keep the memories coming. Bless you!

It is a labor of love and a blessing to have the chance to do this. I am a very lucky man. I could not be able to do as much as I do without the input of people like yourself.

I always wondered if ther was ever a recording of Bobby singing Donke Schoen

I remember he gave the song 2 Wayne Newton...

Forgive me if I misspelled the name of the song

Thanks, Jimmy.  Well done!

Il mio ringraziamento va a lei, Mr. Scalia per quello che sta facendo perché " la luce non debba mai spegnersi su una leggenda ". E Bobby Darin è una vera leggenda. 
My thanks to you Mr.Scalia for what you're doing because  "the light should never go out on a legend " . And Bobby Darin is a true legend .

Mille grazie, è il mio piacere! Questo non e uno lavoro ma uno passione del mio cuore!

Well done, Jimmy.  Bobby's not gone as long as we remember him..

@Zathras01 Beautifully put Zathras!

Quality work!

As Wayne Newton said, "Bobby Darin was a giant among men."  His star is the brightest one in the sky, we are all better for Bobby having lived. Thanks for posting this.
