Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife (Live 1970)

[GreatDane4Ever]

I know that Kevin Spacey played Bobby Darin, but looking at Bobby's face and the build of his body, Ed Norton could also have been cast as Darin.

[NonGermanPiefke]

Why is it that two people don't like this? What can you possibly not like about his performance and the song?

[hypnosis121]

A true entertainer... Wonderful...

[Whats4dinnerSandi]

LOVE Bobby Darin! They just don't make them like this anymore.

[EloiseDecember]

O but wouldn't he have eclipsed Sinatra as an icon had he lived! You are a legend Bobby.

[Tyler380]

The Best....

[EloiseDecember]

Beautiful man 

[Thanatocoenosis]

Mack a;''[ give you 10 ton 5

[zzyyxxo]

this is a serious sigh....

[lizk203]

He was an up and coming Sinatra....

[bassbone52]

This cat was something else - one of a kind. Social activist, Mensa society, country singer, actor, drummer, chess player. What a talent he was.

[lightfoot828]

Wow...that is what happens when the right song and the right singer come together...what a classic performance...that was his song...no one could do it better than Bobby...what a catchy,Quirky,Delightful song...sung to perfection by one of the best...Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[iLUVmyADIDAS]

THIS IS WHEN MUSIC WAS WORTH IT!!!! one of my all time favorite songs <3

[isukaman]

He had talent.

[SwampLord9]

I love this. It shows that he absolutely loved what he did.

[bossyboots55]

so many crooners have sung this song. but it takes the original to put life into it . and thats Bobby Darin. love this !

[baergal]

I can't stop smiling watching this!

[skipper8257]

Total class.

[po2313]

This is tops if not the best from Bobby I agree. Thanks so much for posting it! Generations to come will come to know and appreciate this music! Thanks to those that post here.

[serpico56]

This is what we are missing in Las Vegas. This town now sucks, all the greats are gone.

[131pavel]

@serpico56 I rate Bobby better than Frank. He was so versatile, and would attempt anything. R.I.P.

[tynieone]

The best singer ever

[crankycarole]

Oh my goodness....really love this man....Wish he was still with us...

[Dckhouse]

You should really watch the movie - "Beyond the Sea" with Kevin Spacey. Spacey does all the singing himself. A really nice movie for Darin fans. Watch it! Because of that movie, I now love Bobby Darin.

[jojojojo746]

no autotune here great voice wish i could sing like that

[dv490]

I bet money that eminem has studied the past greats such as this one in order to glean what he could about live performances and appearing spontaneous when in fact is was all very crafted. eminem is not some crazy raw wildcard, his performances are just as crafted and disciplined. Darin and eminem probably have much in common, and I bet if you asked eminem about Bobby Darin he'd have a lot of positive things to say.

[jrcopjake]

eminem is god this is gay

[Destructerator]

@jrcopjake eminem is god of rap, but this is another style of music entirely. you have a lot to learn, kid.

[Coolestmovies]

@jrcopjake --- Didn't Eminem die a few years ago? I figured that's why we haven't heard from that clown in so many years and no one listens to his music anymore.

[Drblooter99]

@Coolestmovies

No pal, YOU haven't heard from Eminem in several years, because you grew up and started listening to proper music. Welcome to the club!!

[ccrider2448]

OMG Why did someone take you from us? You were and are wonderful! I love your music. You are cute too!!! It's a shame that we have to just watch your videos and will never see you again. Love

[maltavmalta]

Born Entertainer.

[welshcherry]

So sad to think he died only 3 years after this was filmed, and at such a young age (37). Wonderful singer and performer.

[shroudbass]

Incredible. Thanks for posting this one.

[ksb12420]

the best!!

[FioProHr]

Shame we don't have performances like this anymore...

[HERUNDINO]

@FioProHr ..... very true

[15bluethings]

Such a major talent.

[po2313]

God what an awesome talent! Flogogrande is right..he is so relaxed like this is second nature to him..smooth as glass. A pure delight to watch. This is medicine for the soul...thank you Bobby...we love you!

[SoNoFTheMoSt]

im addicted to this song, check out ele fitzgeralds life hd version fucking amazing:}

[flojogrande]

He is so relaxed doing this number. He's enjoying every minute of it. Look at the look in his eyes and he looks around the room. Like a tiger preying on some Impala or gazelle as pans and works the room. Gone too soon! Class and cool rolled into one.

[mmvinny9]

[Veggieman87]

Simply great. Fantastic performer.

[adiamtar]

Love love love him!!!

[gainunits]

bobby d lives on..........................

[bobstarr62]

my favorite Bobby Darin song; my favorite singer. i THINK i have downloaded every version of this song on YouTube; found this one last nite....IT IS THE BEST ONE!!!

thank you for sharing it.

[POTZ123]

@bobstarr62 im sorry mate but if bobby darin is your favourite singer you would buy his songs not ilegaly download them from youtube.

[the1musiclad]

@POTZ123 - you generally can't purchase specific live performances on Itunes.

[POTZ123]

@the1musiclad yeah i know that i have a collectection of about 12 cds of bobby's. the ones i cant buy i watch on youtube. in my opinion it just seems cheap to download them for free of youtube.

[the1musiclad]

@POTZ123 - if you want to listen to them on your ipod though you have no other option do you?

[POTZ123]

@the1musiclad i bet bobby darins estate sells them somewhere

[themredweirdoshow]

@POTZ123 "Illegal YouTube download"? Every audio and video file on the planet was once just sitting as a file on someone's computer first, before being uploaded. That unuploaded file is not illegal. Nor is that same file illegal if my next door neighbor downloads it from YT after I upload it. It's still the same file, now likewise sitting on HIS computer. Reminds me of the IRS trying to tax a man after his wife gives him a buck to pick up a loaf of bread: "All money you receive is INCOME, bud!"

[notredamehesamighty]

Elvis was cool. Dean Martin was cool. And Bobby was every bit as cool as they were... fantastic clip!

[TheChivalricAge]

Are sure this isn't from the Andy Williams show? I don't think Mr. Darin performed "Mack the Knife" on the Flip Wilson show.

[montanablueful]

I love Bobby 50 years ago when I was 13 and we lost him way to soon. He was so multi talented. I will always miss you Bobby.

[Rolis440Rolis]

@montanablueful You are liar !! Mfk :D you are 63 years old?... :D:D fukin liar... :D

[AdelaidePoms]

@Rolis440Rolis why is montanablueful a liar? A fan of Bobby Darin when 13 yrs old is not unusual or mathematically incorrect, so what is your point? ..... 50 years ago... Bobby Darin was at a huge peak in his career, in fact Darin had a number 1 hit in 1959 with this very song I believe. Go away with your uneducated foul language. This is a forum for fans of talent not for people like you to spout your diatribe. I wish I had been around back then to enjoy great entertainers such as BD.

[177coc]

J'aime !

[singingkid]

Pure magic. Thanks so much for sharing this clip! :)

[jimmybrown11111]

Bobby is the greatest ever period.
