Here he is, in all his singing, dancing glory, the one, the only, the multi-talented Mr. Bobby Darin. This clip is taken from his 1961 TV special, “Bobby Darin and Friends,” and it serves once again to demonstrate the limitless nature of this man’s talent. Just watch him move. He has the music surging through […]

I love hearing Bobby Darin referring to this tune as “the brand new single record” in this clip. And of course, Bobby can’t resist doing a little schtick during the intro. It just gets better and better!

Holey moley, what a performance! Young Bobby Darin drives the crowd into a frenzy with a medley that begins with “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and builds to an incredible rave-up version of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Just watch those hands and those snappin’ fingers as they guide the audience and drive the melody […]
