Bobby Darin

[irishgrl]

Just because I have been collecting his DVD's like crazy as well as his documentaries and music info, (and PBS just got done using him for their pledge drive) I wanted to say that I think Bobby Darin is one of the most underappreciated performers/songwriters/actors etc, in recent memory. The man had such natural rhythm and range that I think its a crying shame he didnt get more appreciation when he was alive. And he was cute. in a 50's kind of way. There just arent any renaissance people around any more.....

btw: Mack the Knife is one of the most recognizable songs in the music lexicon.
also, Splish Splash isnt far behind. not bad for a man that only had about 20 years to make his mark.........
