Review by Michael MacomberRelease Date: 6/28/1994Format: DVD (1 Disc)Label: QuestarGet the DVD at: AmazonOne of the earliest Bobby Darin DVDs ever released and still the best, Mack is Back showcases the many talents of the great Mr. Darin beautifully. The centerpiece of this disc is essentially a concert; an uncut version of the final episode of Darin’s 1972-73 TV variety series. This would also be the last time Darin stepped in front of a camera before his passing late in 1973, and so it has a unique resonance.Darin, as always, is pure dynamite, singing, swinging, dancing, joking, rocking, rolling, and flashing that legendary smile. He is in absolute command of the audience. He charms them, he woos them, he thrills them. Ultimately, he knocks their collective socks off.All 14 songs performed are winners. “For Once In My Life” is a funky delight, with Darin shimmying all over the stage. When he breaks briefly into the career defining tune “Once In A Lifetime,” the moment is as sharp as that knife carried by MacHeath. His swingin’ delivery of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” is just as fabulous as the Frankie Valli original. The tempo change in the bridge is positively astounding. Darin and the band are in perfect synch. This clockwork brilliance continues into “Higher and Higher,” another super funky number, with just a hint of country. Only the bold and brash Darin would have the cojones to take on this Jackie Wilson signature song with such verve. And once again, he equals the original.Displaying his boundless versatility throughout, Darin addresses a wide range of styles, from the blues-laden contemporary rock of “Midnight Special,” to the gentle folk pop of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” His approach to the Hank Williams classic “Lonesome Whistle” is devastating. Swaying gently, strumming his guitar, Darin intones “I heard that loooooo-a-whoaaaaa-nesome whistle blow,” and his voice sails out and over the crowd.The extras on this disc are something beyond fantastic. Darin is at his finger-snappin’ best in a 1961 TV special, Bobby Darin And Friends, with guests Bob Hope and Joanie Sommers. The entire special is included, and so we get to see Darin do a lot more dancing, singing, and charming the audience. The opening number provides Darin an opportunity to demonstrate his brilliant Donald O’Connor/Jimmy Cagney inspired moves. Darin’s knack for comedic acting takes center stage in a skit where he plays a high school nerd. This knack can also be seen in clips from the Andy Williams Show in 1965 and the Flip Wilson Show in 1970.The finest extra on this disc, however, has got to be Up Close And Personal, a collection of footage from an unfinished 1966 Darin documentary. The Cocoanut Grove performance of “Some Of These Days” alone is worth the price of admission. Seeing Darin in private moments, playing with his son Dodd, working in the studio, slamming away on the drums, and candidly discussing his fears and concerns about returning to nightclubs after a 3 year hiatus, can only be described as priceless.Song Selections:1.

Bobby Darin - Bobby Rocks CD
'Splish Splash' wasn't the beginning for Bobby Darin, nor was it just a flirtation with Rock 'N' Roll. Raised in a Manhattan tenement, Walden Robert Cassotto found a way to escape: through his music. Forming a band in high school, he first played Pop hits of the early '50s and standards; then he moved to Calypso and Folk before becoming one of Rock 'N' Roll's pioneers, cutting records reminiscent of Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Little Richard, and writing what became one of Buddy Holly's biggest hits: 'Early In The Morning'. This collection draws from sessions originally released on Decca, Atco, Brunswick and Capitol; and recorded in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. In addition to hits like 'Splish Splash', 'Dream Lover' and 'Early In The Morning', the album includes 'She's Tantastic', originally issued as a tanning cream promotion, and 'Clementine', a swinging Big Band precursor to Sinatra's 'Old MacDonald'. If 'Mack The Knife' is the beginning and end of Bobby Darin to you, you're in for a big surprise. 36 tracks. Bear Family. 2008. Tracks 1. Bullmoose (original 45 version) 2. Splish Splash 3.

Album notes
Producers: Ahmet Ertgun, Nesuhi Ertegun, Jerry Wexler.Compilation producer: Gregg Geller.Includes liner notes by Ken Emerson.All tracks have been digitally remastered.For someone with such straight show business aspirations, Bobby Darin sure covered a lot of musical ground in his short time on this earth. From teen-idol rock & roll to Sinatra-like swing to the singer-songwriter sensitivities of the '60s, Darin touched them all. What's more, unlike both his peers and elders, Darin mastered all these genres as he went along.This second volume of THE BEST OF BOBBY DARIN opens with Darin's 1959 blockbuster "Mack the Knife." It's now forgotten that Darin's cheeky vocal derived directly from Louis Armstrong's lively, idiomatic interpretation of the Kurt Weill tune a few years previous. No matter, since the enormous success of "Mack the Knife" gave Darin the confidence to further explore the world of "adult" pop. He updated Charles Trenet's anthem "La Mer" in a finger-snapping translation called "Beyond the Sea," followed by "Clementine" and "Artificial Flowers," sort of faux "folk" ballads that Darin invested with a tremendous sense of fun and rock-hard swing. One highlight is Darin's appealing take on Neal Hefti's Basie original "Lil' Darlin," newly fitted with lyrics as "Don't Dream of Anybody But Me."

HERE'S BOBBY DARIN LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD HIM BEFORE. LIVE STUDIO CHATTER BETWEEN BOBBY, THE MUSICIANS, THE PRODUCER AND MORE. OUT TAKES OF ALL HIS EARLY HITS PLUS THE "MASTER" TAKES WE ALL LOVE. 30 CUTS OF PURE GOLD FROM LATE 50'S & EARLY 60'S. A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO CALLS THEMSELVES A BOBBY DARIN FAN.

Personnel: Bobby Darin (vocals).Recording information: The Flamingo, Las Vegas, Nevada (1963).Ensemble: Russ Morgan & His Orchestra.Gifted singer and songwriter Bobby Darin was nothing if not the ultimate showman. How else to describe a man who could deliver a high-energy performance encompassing swing, country, jazz, gospel, R&B, and rock & roll without a single misstep or letup of intensity? Heard here performing at the Flamingo in Las Vegas in 1963, Darin is a man at the pinnacle of his career. He hadn't yet been wounded by public indifference to his highly underrated late-'60s folk-rock phase; he was still the unshakably confident crooner with the world at his feet and the audience in the palm of his hand. The eclectic nature of his artistry is encapsulated in a medley here that moves through Darin's early rock & roll hit "Splish Splash," the Sinatra-swing-style "Beyond the Sea," and the country chestnut "Clementine" with seamless grace. Darin even sounds authoritative tackling the spirituals "Mary Don't You Weep" and "I'm on My Way Great God." LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS is the sound of a man on top of the world.

Biografía

Bobby Darin nació el 14 de mayo de 1936 y fue bautizado con el nombre de Walden Robert Cassotto. Durante su infancia, que transcurrió en el barrio neoyorquino del Bronx, Bobby sufrió varios ataques de fiebres reumáticas que le afectaron al corazón y causaron daños crónicos en su salud.
Desde niño se aficionó a actuar, y creó un grupo de música cuando aún iba al instituto. En gran medida fue un músico autodidacta, y era capaz de tocar la percusión, el piano y la guitarra. Abandonó sus estudios superiores para dedicarse plenamente a la música y adoptó el nombre artístico de Bobby Darin. En 1956 firmó un contrato discográfico con Decca Records, pero ninguno de los discos que grabó con la compañía tuvo éxito. Darin contó entonces con el apoyo de Don Kirshner, que escribió alguna canción con él, y en 1957 firmó un contrato con Atco Records, una filial de la discográfica Atlantic Records. Al año siguiente, Darin se convirtió en un éxito nacional con su canción 'Splish Splash', que aseguraba haber escrito en 20 minutos. Producida por el fundador de Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, 'Splish Splash' vendió 100.000 copias en tan sólo tres semanas. Los siguientes éxitos de Darin, como 'Queen of the Hop' y 'Dream Lover', le consolidaron como ídolo de adolescentes, y participó en programas de televisión como "The Ed Sullivan Show" y "American Bandstand".
Darin empezó a chocar con las expectativas del público, su discográfica y la crítica prácticamente en el principio de su carrera, cuando decidió cambiar el rock & roll por un estilo más clásico en su segundo elepé, 'That's All', editado en 1959. Pero su arriesgada apuesta resultó valer la pena: la versión que hizo del clásico 'Mack the Knife' (de La ópera de perra gorda, de Bertolt Brecht y Kurt Weill) se mantuvo nueve semanas en el número uno de las listas de ventas. Para rematar su éxito, Darin recibió dos premios Grammy, al Mejor artista revelación de 1959 y al Mejor disco del año por 'Mack the Knife'. A sus veintitres años, Darin era el número más esperado de la noche en los clubes de Las Vegas y era la estrella del legendario club Copacabana de Nueva York.
Darin, que había estudiado teatro durante su corta estancia en la universidad, se trasladó a Hollywood en 1960 para comenzar su carrera como actor. Su primer papel importante lo interpretó en la comedia romántica 'Cuando llegue Septiembre', durante cuyo rodaje conoció a la que acabaría convirtiéndose en su mujer, Sandra Dee; la pareja contrajo nupcias en diciembre de 1960. Otras películas en las que participó Darin son 'Too late Blues', del director John Cassavetes, 'Comando', de Don Siegel, y 'La clave de la cuestión, las fronterasde la piel', de Hubert Cornfeld, película en la que compartió cartel con Sidney Poitier. En 1964, Darin fue candidato a un premio Oscar y a un Globo de Oro por su interpretación junto a Gregory Peck y Tony Curtis en 'El capitán Newman'.
Durante la década de 1960, Darin cultivó varios géneros musicales. Entre sus grabaciones más destacadas se encuentran 'Bobby Darin Sings Ray Charles', que le valió una candidatura al Grammy por su versión de 'What'd I Say', y 'Two of a Kind', una exitosa colaboración entre Darin y el gran cantautor Johnny Mercer. En 1966, su versión de la canción folk 'If I Were a Carpenter', de Tim Hardin, llegó a la lista de los diez discos más vendidos.
Darin participó en muchos programas de televisión durante su carrera, y en el verano de 1972 presentó un programa de variedades en la cadena NBC. Cuando Darin cayó gravemente enfermo, había ya programada toda una temporada del show. Darin murió el 20 de diciembre de 1973 mientras era sometido a una intervención. de corazón
