    I think he was too smart to let any manager steal his money. !

  • @anthonythirteen

    He told sinatra Í'll be greater than you one day.' and he did become....From then on he and sinatra werent on good terms.,..thats what i read anyway...dont know how far its true.

  • @olivialoveable

    and soul !

  • This man has more soul in his pinky than most have in their whole body. Bobby Darin was the whole package, performer, entertainer and man, that voice. What a guy.

  • Check out  youtube/lulu.mov

  • Bobby Darin has a great smile and voice (: he's amazing in more ways than one.

  • wow, he does GREAT country blues rock, i am amazed! this is like my new favorite!!!

  • Darin ultimately had a liberal political stance that wasn't popular with influential people & a genetic condition that held him back. He dropped out for years because of illness & cynicsm about the music industry/society in general. If he'd been fitter & sold his soul to the devil, he'd be a name alongside Presley & Sinatra

  • @NeilThompson30 Presley & Sinatra developed excellent stage performances, they were dsitinctive singers & made their mark as heart throbs as well. Darin, was an excellent songwriter & musician as well as being a great singer & also 'pop idol'. Darin became his own man: he didn't have the help from the mob, nor a greedy manager determined to grind every last cent out of his 'product'.

  • @JadeTomZ - it's not stupid to suggest that Darin was better than Sinatra and Presley. I've yet to hear a bad Darin record - I've heard some great Sinatra and Presley ones - but I've heard some bad ones also. Darin could move on stage like nobody else - Sinatra and Presley didn't have the charisma of Darin onstage - especially in their later years. Ella and Louis was a different era so I'll not comment on that - Cash was great - but Bobby Darin was the greatest singer and performer ever lived.
