Amazing that i haven't discovered this amazing talent earlier, does he still perform or is he retired??? i can only seem to find clips of him in the late sixties/early 70's--

@junkyman2 Unfortunately Bobby Darin died following open heart surgery in 1973. He truly was an amazing talent.

[badideass]

so he died because he failed to take medication from his dentist, which caused a blood infection to heart problems?

wasnt he 37 or 38?

[bobbyfan64]

The infection didn't help, but the primary cause was a failing artificial heart valve. He died following open heart surgery to repair it. He was 37 when he died. Way too young.

This man has had so much charisma. Sigh...he died way way too soon.

What a guy! Not just a singer, a great musician and dancer too. And his timing as a performer is impeccable. Slick comes to mind seeing the way he moves and operates. If he had survived the op he could have moved on to widen his repertoire of musical genres. A real loss.

@junkyman2 I have an entire collection of his OLD songs from the 40s, 50s and you wouldnt believe his voice! Its amazing.

@ajay999999

ha ha. thats true. usually old people hate to go to the hsp for anything. they fear they wont leave ...

@FirthsbutFourth Damn nice tribute. The others had good reason to be envious of this man's amazing talent. Today, heart valve surgery is a piece of cake. Well, his greatness is on dislpay here on You Tube.

Pure talent. I followed his entire life. He was awesome

@junkyman2

He died 19 73, I think. He was one of the greats. No one wanted to follow his act in Vegas.  Frank Sinatra was a bit jealous of him. No wonder. He took musical risks that rocked the staus quo, e.g. mack the Knife.

@FirthsbutFourth Well said, great thoughts. 

[tomkes100douchebag]

He was so damned talented and full of life. As you can see from the other parts of the appearance, intellegent and insightful too. Damn we were cheated. One of tnhe truly greats. And I also think Kevin Spacey's film was a labor of love toward Bobby, please see it and love it too.

Love the sideburns :-)

He had just hit his 2nd stride with a hit TV series and all that goes with it. Little did we know that he knew he was going to die and was trying to earn enough to take care of his son after he was gone. He was very sick here and trouped it out for his kid. He was gone less than a year later (December 1973.) I was just a kid but I was heartbroken when I got the news. For some it was the death of Buddy Holly, Janice, Jimi, Morrison, or Lennon. For me it was and always will be Bobby Darin.
