Absolutely the Best!
This is an exceptional documentary of the single greatest entertainer to ever perform. I have several Darin DVD's, but this is my personal favorite. A great tribute to the extraordinary talents of a man who did it all. Tragically, Bobby wasn't with us for long, but the amazing and remarkable accomplishments of his short life will remain with us forever. He was absolutely the best.

Darin alive again
This was wonderful it was as though he was still with us vibrant and what a voice.

I just loved it!
I am buying this because I saw it on NetFlix and really enjoyed it. It's got to be the best summary of Bobby Darin's life and music out there.
