god how i love this song, im 22 and have only recently discovered bobby but i have to say there is nobody out there that could top him, singer actor musician impressionist plus hes kinda cute too
he should have definitely have had more recognition
I read that Bobby and Neil Diamond were good friends. I like what he did with this song, slowing the tempo a little.
It's a shame Bobby Darin is not here today, he would be my mom's age, still singing and dancing for us all. RIP Bobby, you made the world a better place during your short time here.
I heard him do many up-beat songs in a slow tempo which most singer pretty well butcher,but BD has made them very easy to listen to.Even the N.Diamond Tribute acts tend to kill this song with a poor immitation. I now see why BD was not a fan of TV from its structure to make singers conform to their alloted time.
Bobby Darin received the GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD TONIGHT! His son Dodd Darin gave a beautiful speech on his behalf. Bobby was a versatile, multitalented genius!
Blowing away performance! That is exactly why I just cant get enough of him! mindblowing stunning performance DYNAMITE realy. I mean he's an incredible singer, performer, stand up comedian, great dancer, quick minded in interviews, funny, plays heavens knows how many instruments, composer and girls...we have to agree on one last point a hell of a looker too!
What else could one possibly ask for? Yeah maby one thing that he might have stayed longer with us.
You would never know that he was so ill at the time...what a tragedy that he passed away so young. He gave his heart and soul to the world. This is my favorite song of his. No one compares to Bobby Darin.
His belt buckle with the peace sign had great meaning for Bobby. He was fiercely dedicated to peace and he wore this buckle on stage until his last performances in Aug 1973.
Great version!! Wow! The way he started belting it out a minute before the end it's hard to believe he would need oxygen inbetween and after performing.
Oh my god thank you so much for posting this!!! I've been looking for it everywhere! It was on YouTube before, but then it got taken off. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
thanks for posting this, he was so dang beautiful I'm like Amanda now WHOA MOMMA!! he sings this so great I like Neil Diamond but Bobby sang it so much better...
Bobby Darin is one of my favourites. Beautiful man. Very sad that he died so early and knew that he probably would as well.

@CallumJStewart Exactly. Darin could do anything Sinatra could do; a much better artist in every aspect.
RIP
