Bobby Darin - as I see it: In his last years he'd found himself and his real voice - Rhythm and blues, country, american folk dominated in the songs. Socially, politically, humanly sensitive and active was he. And who knows why, but this amazing performance had not been awarded by the audience. His art is current today (again) and not anachronistic - at least for me. That is why I miss so much, and because more and more trouble in the world, and a sensitive IDOL like him is missing!

Thank You for your answer. I've downloaded Brubaker. It's a great film, Redford was great also. And it was a surprise to me, that one of my favourite (Cassavetes) actor, Val Avery's starred in, I like his figure so much! It's important to me, that know more about the background of Darin's songs and lyrics. That's why I've read Michael Starr's book of Bobby Darin's life.
All the Best for You - from Hungary:-)

@balkanigerle there was a prison in arkansas where the jailers were more corrupt than the criminals. prisoners were murdered, starved, worked as slave labor. a man went undercover there as a prisoner, turns out he was the new warden. he had been sent to reform the prison. rent the movie 'brubaker' with robert redford, it will tell the story better than i did.

Please, write me more "the story behind it" of the song for me. I live far away from America... every point of view, unfortunately. But I'm impressed by your culture so...

thats not expression on his face, hes off his face!
I love it when people cant at least admit that it was impressive that he could write perform and arrange a wide variety of music genres even if you didn't like all of them. If you can't at least say that then go back to watching Glenn beck. Nothing makes me angry like someone saying that music is left-wing or right-wing. Music is the vehicle for ideas, the ideas conveyed doesn't change the quality of the music in anyway.

Great video. Glad Jerry didn't try to make BD water it down. Look at Bobby's face. His expression, those eyes, convey genuine emotion and conviction. We could use Bobby's courage and social comments today! Thanks for the post.
