Bobby Darin: A Great Collection From A True Legend5
What more can be said of the late, great Bobby Darin? If you like classic pop ballad singers, listen to Bobby sing "Try To Remember" or "After You've Gone." If you like swing, well, any uptempo tune from this collection is sufficient proof that had Darin lived he would have blown by Tony Bennett and saddled right up next to Sinatra. He possessed enormous and genuine talent, charisma, and a magical touch with every genre of music. This collection is one of the all-time great compilations of popular song. What a shame the man died so young.

Darin Channels Jolson5
This album is a very generous sampling of the Bobby Darin treatment of some Tin Pan Alley standards. I think "Liza" by the Gershwins is the very best reason to buy the recording: Bobby sounds as if he's captured an updated spirit of Al Jolson. Admittedly, you have to be a Darin fan to want this album--if you're a Darin novice, start with "That's All," "This is Darin," and "Great Gentlemen of Song" first--then this one. It's terrible that Darin died at 37, or he'd be out-Bennetting Tony Bennett today, and duetting with Ray Charles too.

For Bobby Darin Fans Only5
Bobby Darin sings balads on this CD, and sang it like no other singer in his day. He was unique and an original, and ALL the songs on this album proove this. Get this album and you will enjoy every song as I did. I still can not believe that this great talent died so young. We only have his songs with his incredible singing ability to remember him by, and I am thankful for this.
