Bobby Darin was one of those rare people who was good at anything he did. Business. stocks, piano, guitar , singer, sports ect... in other words , once he committed to something, he made an effort to perfect it.... 37 years old when he passed...
I saw Linda at the Dallas Convention Center years ago, she was wearing cowboy boots and a skirt much like the one in this video. She wasn't very tall but her singing voice more than made up for it. Not too many people can stand on the same stage with Bobby Darin, he was a true Icon right up there with Louis Armstrong.
Calaxus.........You might be 13 years old....But in you lives a much more mature spirit. Its much too damaging to relate to (non peers your age.) I suggest you expand where the stimulation is best., and where your real peers are. It must be very difficult for you. I would suggest further to analyze Bobby`s attraction to Up-tempo songs, like Mack The Knife, Artificial Flowers, If I were a Carpenter, and Lady Came from Baltimore.
My favorite song by Linda Ronstadt and her first big solo hit (not counting Different Drum when she was part of the Stone Poney's). Thanks for sharing.
Bobby Darin was my hero at 6 years of age (thanks mom). I am now 57 and I love Booby Darin just as much today as I did then. He was the foundation of my love for music.
After more than three years without my soul mate, this song still KILLS me. To this day. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely enamored. As my tears fall.
He just left the stage - not the tune. You can still hear his guitar playing right to the end of the tune. He probably had to get ready tor another number and needed to get back stage the second Linda stopped singing. Just a guess.
@freddiemesquit1 Yes, about 2:17 the lady starts reacting to Bobby's leaving but there are two guitars playing. Bobby is playing a lead rift and in the background another guitar plays the tune and continues to the end after he leaves the stage. Watch his fingers and listen closely to the guitars playing. Bobby doesn't strum the first three notes being played at the beginning of the measure to the end of the song. The tune is played on a gut string guitar and Bobby's lead a steel stringed guitar.
@Roelandvanreem - probably to get ready for the next "bit". After all, it was his special so he was probably running around backstage like a madman from one spot to the next. Sure do miss him and his music . . .
What's really incredible: the original cut was the work of Linda and four, FOUR! Nashville session musicians. They cut it live in a three hour Saturday morning session, Buddy Spicher on fiddle/violin (he played both styles), Weldon Myrick on steel, Norbert Putnam on harpsichord and bass, Pete Wade on rhythm guitar.
Those are all the musicians on LLT! Incredible, four players could create a classic!
People, specially men, don't know how to hold their tears when linda sings this song....many play like they are not there, some others, like Bobby...decide to "Just leave"........many men actually weep in fron of their wives and children, something not very acceptable in this society. The song is a plain simple masterpiece sang by the right person: "lovely Linda".....
Why is this wonderful voice not in the R & R Hall of Fame??? She has sung virtually every genre - and beautifully every time. Some of her songs are themselves classics, including this one.
Cleveland / Hollywood : GET IT RIGHT and put her in the Hall.
@puboffender54 Because the RRHOF is owned and operated by Phil Spector. There's been impossible bias towards many very talented people who had far greater impact on "us" than half of the duds that are enshrined there now. It's really silly playground bullshit! Linda should be there, so should The Moody Blues.
Wow...awesome...simply awesome. What a haunting love lost song. She knocks it out of the park with that wonderful voice and the passion in which she puts into it. Almost made me tear up...and that was when I first heard it in the 70's. I still get that same feeling today. Double thumbs up.
Calaxus good for you darlin'. my grand daughter, when she was a teen ager found me a long lost cd of Darin's that she loved too. You have a good ear. This is a prime example of two artists making music for all time.
@imstillstanding2043 You say the audience appears 'emotionally-void and removed (schizoid?),, and a bit-heartless' (psychopath?) ,, lemme ask this; Are there still lingering questions as to the explicit origins of the American Zombie? I think not.
@tomk773 One of the cleanest and clearest voices of her generation able to sing anything from the softest ballads to stuff that kicks you in the nuts!
Without a doubt one of the greatest voice of all time. What a performance with so much of emotion put into it which brings me to another singer from Taiwan called Tracy Huang. Listen to her redention to this track and comment on what you think?
Good for you, Calaxus! Bobby was multi-talented! I had the privilege of seeing him when I was 14 and now I'm a grandma and I still love him! It was never Elvis for me... it was always and forever Bobby!
I'm a 13 year old kid who loves bobby Darin. Peeps make fun of me for that but Bobby Darin will always be my hero. His songs make sense and as soon as you hear his melodic voice you become absoloutely desynchronized with the world. You get lost in a world of peace and prosperity. Bobby Darin is the very divine spirit of music.
Don't listen to them! You're right, Bobby was fantastic. He had great talent and was a superb human away from the spotlight. Don't worry. The coolest people are the ones who don't care what others think (but don't be rude about it!) :) Bobby defied the norm: while all the others started out Greenwich Village and turned Vegas, he did the opposite. Remember, back in the day, Bobby WAS cool and respected. Leave others to their Gaga dudu. I'll take Bobby anyday. Miss him so much.
@Calaxus That was ridiculously deep for a 13 year old observation however you are exactly right. People like Darin and Rondstadt had the ability to perform alone on a stage and capture and mesmerize an audience with no light shows or a hundred dancers behind them. Your generation rarely sees this level of real talent. Glad YouTube has given you a window to the musical world I grew up in.
@Calaxus He was so talented in many areas...he played guitar, drums, piano, harmonica, sang, danced and was a great actor. Let the peeps suffer. Yer on the money.
@Calaxus are you a 13 years old ?!? and you talking like that ?!? COMPLIMENTS from italy ....for the talking and the thoughts , you are very mature for your age ....
@Calaxus Don't listen to morons who make fun of you. You have taste and you know what music is all about. I'm 30 and I was into the Beatles and Zeppelin when my friends were in to New Kids On The Block. Those kids can't help that they're lame. Forgive them. ;)
I'll never forget the first time I heard this, I was probably 13 or 14, I was babysitting and came across her Retrospective album. I only had her Heart Like a Wheel LP and was not familiar with her older stuff. I could not stop listening to this, I played it over & over & over again. I was just blown away, I could not believe that anyone could sing so beautiful yet mesmerisingly sad, you could just feel her pain. I have never been moved like that. So sad her talent is lost on today's generation.
@bananastewss Don't you love youtube, for giving us an opportunity to see performances of songs we've loved for years - and which we never thought we'd see performed.
@edmundus1581 You said it my friend,so much of my past I've found through youtube and had a chance to reminisce thanks to this technology. Thank God there were people there years ago that had the insight to document performances like this so all who had not yet arrived can now witness the treasures that have come and gone in the world of entertainment. Enjoy!
@44patroy Thanks Patroy! I haven't watched this for quite a while, and I'm so grateful for getting a reminder to watch it again. This performance is almost heartbreaking.
@edmundus1581 Yep! I'm an old guy who remembers all of the old tunes. This is definitely one of those great tunes by one of the best voices we've ever known.
Heavens to Murgatroid! What a joy to watch today for the first time! My fave song of Linda's. Not only an exqusite voice but one extremely attractive lady! And how amazing to see Bobby Darrin accompany her on guitar! Though I'm not surprised...I've read he could play many instruments quite well. THANKS for posting this fascinating footage! You've MADE my day & my week! :-)
Ann, try as I might I can't get you out of my mind. I am defiantly "Living in the memory of a love that never was" please forgive me I'm really trying to move on without you.
I could listen to Linda R. sing these songs forever. She was my favorite singer back in the day -- although we girls were all kind of jealous of her, we admired her so much -- I even had this haircut :) Such a little thing that could really belt it out. And the songs she chose to sing back then were awesome.
ME FACINA LAS CANCIONES RANCHERAS.... Y ESCUCHE POR PRIMERA VEZ EL NOMBRE DE LINDA CON CANCIONES MEXICANAS, MUY ADMIRABLE LO QUE HACE... MI PASION MAS GRANDE ES CANTAR.. Y UNA DE MIS METAS, Y MI GRANDES SUEÑOS ES PODER HACERLO EN INGLES... SEGUIRE LOS PASOS DE LINDA RONSTANDT... Y,,,,,santadude GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO.. ME ENCANTO..
@sandritabonita22 Siguele echando ganas hija, algun dia llegaras. Yo conoci a Linda por sus canciones en ingles, en los anos 70. No teniamos idea de que pudiera cantar en espanol tambien, nos quedamos muy sorprendidos, pues, admirados. Saludos y buena suerte.
In my lifetime (almost 64), there's never been a female singer with the beauty and range of Linda Ronstadt. Her physical beauty when she was in her twenties is almost distracting- how is that much beauty in one place possible?
@sudburylawyer Yes, Pat was smokin', no doubt. When I spoke of Linda's range, i was thinking more of range of styles than octaves of vocal range. Props to both!
@slownoman Check out some of Annie Haslam's videos on YouTube, as well as Renaissance, (she was lead singer). I love Linda's voice- but Annie is my favorite.
Linda is amazing, but that was one odd clip. Where did Bobby go? What was up with the audience? They couldn't focus on her, squirmed in their seats and sometimes looked like they were in real pain. She deserved nothing less than rapt attention,
@tmh2939 To continue with the costume change theory, that would explain why Linda was blocked to move down the "runway", leaving Bobby out of the shot.
The exit added to the humility Darrin displayed by just sitting their quietly playing the guitar part, rather than insisting that Linda let him sing the second verse or something.
I still can't believe that she hates her own voice, but she does. This is because every human who has ever listened to a recording of their own voice, hears something different than when talking or singing to themselves.
I don't get the Bobby Darin connection. He died in 1966. Very popular singer, great talent, born with a hole in the heart. 60's medicine was nowhere as good as today.
I think he left quietly during the song in response to the words of the song and it was planned to be that way. It's a song about the end of a relationship. It makes sense to me that Linda would be alone at the end of the song. However, I guess it could have been that Bobby needed a hit of oxygen or was moved by the song, etc.
R&R Hall of Fame is a mess ... desperately needs new management!!

I could listen to Linda R. sing these songs forever. She was my favorite singer back in the day -- although we girls were all kind of jealous of her, we admired her so much -- I even had this haircut :) Such a little thing that could really belt it out. And the songs she chose to sing back then were awesome.

@sandritabonita22 Siguele echando ganas hija, algun dia llegaras. Yo conoci a Linda por sus canciones en ingles, en los anos 70. No teniamos idea de que pudiera cantar en espanol tambien, nos quedamos muy sorprendidos, pues, admirados. Saludos y buena suerte.

I had no idea they'd ever performed together. One of Linda's earliest solo appearances on television, and one of Darin's last.
Nice guitar work on Darin's part, as well.

In my lifetime (almost 64), there's never been a female singer with the beauty and range of Linda Ronstadt. Her physical beauty when she was in her twenties is almost distracting- how is that much beauty in one place possible?

@slownoman I would put Pat Benatar in that category as well
sudburylawyer 1 year ago
@sudburylawyer Yes, Pat was smokin', no doubt. When I spoke of Linda's range, i was thinking more of range of styles than octaves of vocal range. Props to both!

@slownoman Check out some of Annie Haslam's videos on YouTube, as well as Renaissance, (she was lead singer). I love Linda's voice- but Annie is my favorite.

Linda is amazing, but that was one odd clip. Where did Bobby go? What was up with the audience? They couldn't focus on her, squirmed in their seats and sometimes looked like they were in real pain. She deserved nothing less than rapt attention,
dudleycunningham 1 year ago
@dudleycunningham , I don't get what was up with the audience either. It is strange, and can someone please explain to me why he left the stage??
tmh2939 1 year ago
@tmh2939 To give Linda the spotlight.
JoshMich1985 1 year ago
@tmh2939 Maybe he had a costume change, and there was a second guitarist set up to take over at that point.
KennBurch 1 year ago
@tmh2939 To continue with the costume change theory, that would explain why Linda was blocked to move down the "runway", leaving Bobby out of the shot.
The exit added to the humility Darrin displayed by just sitting their quietly playing the guitar part, rather than insisting that Linda let him sing the second verse or something.

Why did he leave the stage?
tmh2939 1 year ago
I still can't believe that she hates her own voice, but she does. This is because every human who has ever listened to a recording of their own voice, hears something different than when talking or singing to themselves.

Bobby Darin was a legend, he stood up for his freedom and was a peaceful man.

I don't get the Bobby Darin connection. He died in 1966. Very popular singer, great talent, born with a hole in the heart. 60's medicine was nowhere as good as today.

@royallaspice1 I think you'll find that Bobby Darin died in late 1973

@royallaspice1 Bobby died in early '70's, on operating table for heart surgery, he had rheumatic fever as a child.

vjfajardo0728 1 year ago
I think he left quietly during the song in response to the words of the song and it was planned to be that way. It's a song about the end of a relationship. It makes sense to me that Linda would be alone at the end of the song. However, I guess it could have been that Bobby needed a hit of oxygen or was moved by the song, etc.
