Oh, man. I just finished "Dream Lovers" yesterday. Everything that happened to him the last year of his life makes this performance flat out heart-wrenching.
Unbeliveable that an irish singer/songwriter can have such an effect on a legendary vocalist like BD. I love you Gilbert O'Sullivan.. lol. i adore Bobby Darin.
Bobby.......just the absolute BEST! Having lost the love of my life, Bobby's emotional investment in this song makes me feel he's singing straight to my heart!! What a master performer...sadly missed and very thankful for the time he took to leave us with so much phenomenal music that cannot be duplicated with the love and heart that comes through every performance! Thanks to you for posting!
Duh! Do I have to spell it out ? Well, then here it is: Far from deserting him, it was the greatest blessing possible! At the very least, he's spared from a life with someone so shallow, rude, insensitive--uncivilized at best, selfish rotten cruel egomaniac sociopath psycho maybe, when he's so sincere and intending the best kind of love
Heartbreaking. Such a superb performance, and brilliant arrangement. Deceivingly upbeat, laid back, and breezy at times, but there's an underlying sadness to it all that works so well with Darin's devastating interpretation. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing clip. 5 stars (of course), and favourited. :)
Another masterpiece from BD. He disintegrated and then remasterized the song without this empty feeling the original produce, bringing his soul and power to the listener. Thanks BD, thanks Gilbert OS
When Bobby Darin sang,its like for the duration of the song,every part of the song takes over his whole being,the voice,the movements,the facial expression.I am yet to find another performer who has carried a song the way that Bobby Darin did,in no matter what genre!
It seems to me that Bobby had the ability to find the heart and soul of a song, and then he poured his own heart and soul into it and revealed the song uncompromisingly to his audience. He was an adult living in a world of adolescents. He was always superb, as you can see here.
..Kevin Spacey is a good singer..! :-)

Wow, amazing as he didn't look at all well either, you can see the discomfort slightly at 1:09. He clearly loved what he was doing though.
