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 […]

(via Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)
Bobby Darin died in 1973 and never lived to see his own induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 (which I happen to think was long past due, if you ask me) but here are a few details listed about this inductee.

Okay, so Bing Crosby week went okay, but I know there’s got to be a lot more out there on Bobby Darin, given his tormented life, his courting and later marriage to Sandra Dee, and all that jazz.

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.
