Sandra Dee was an 1950’s ICON. Boys wanted to date her. Girls wanted to BE her. She had a classic “girl next door” appearance and attitude, and this is what won the heart of Bobby Darin. He was so smitten with her, that even her mother’s discontent didn’t sway him.
Here are five facts about one […]
Bobby Darin Crooner Week is over, gang. I’m leaving you with an mp3 and lyrics to one of my all time favorite Bobby Darin song and the lyrics. I even snagged a YouTube vid of him singing this one. Can you guess what it is before you click to get through the jump?
I’ll give you […]

Alright, if you haven’t seen this movie yet, get thee to Netflix or your local video store and rent it. Kevin Spacey is an absolutely amazing actor, and proves himself as such in “Beyond The Sea: The Bobby Darin Story”.
You know, I’m always wary when a movie comes out with a modern-day actor playing the […]

In 1959, Bobby Darin recorded “Dream Lover” which was built on a Latin dance rhythm, a shuffle beat called cha-lypso. The song was a subtle move from simplistic rock and roll structure to songs designed to appeal to an older audience. “Dream Lover” was his third million album seller.

This video is Bobby Darin at his ultimate best. This was the last performance, 9 months before his death on December 20, 1973. Again, given his torturous life, this is simply amazing to me. This clip’s from “Mack Is Back” - Unedited Concert - Bobby Darin and it’s highly recommended as a “must own” DVD.

I love this song - I can’t even tell you why, other than that his voice is cool and I can envision the band. One of the things that makes me love Bobby Darin so much is that he was a performer in every sense of the word. He had a pretty tragic life, and […]
Okay, so it’s finally here. I’ve heard different people with different opinions on this sort of thing, but I’m sorry, I’m so mad for Dino that I just had to pre-order this from DeanMartin.Com! Of course, the one I bought has a bonus DVD in it, with home videos and interviews with the others on […]
