from 'MACK THE KNIFE' I thought it said 'SMACK THE WIFE' but then again I guess I'm just a youngster in comparison with this time of music but I still love it
@Jerryjennett01 Bobby was born in 1937, sadly became ill as a child which severely weakened his heart, he died in 1973, complications from heart surgery, 37 years young but left us with these great clips! A great movie called Beyond the Sea starring Kevin Spacey is a must see.
Bobby looks an inch tall, and like a mannequin......he was so much better than this......but Im still grateful for any old Bobby footage...... thanks.....
This is from November 1959. Mack the Knife had gone to Number 1 at the beginning of October and was still Number 1 when this was filmed. He was 23. He had been on TV regularly for about a year before this, making appearances on Ed Sullivan and Dick Clark's Beechnut Show among others.
still sounds as good as he ever did , they don't make them like that anymore ,

@bobbyfan64 And, if I'm not mistaken, "Mack the Knife" wound up as the number one record for all of 1959.
