Celebrating the memory of the great Bobby Darin on the anniversary of his birth.
I loved and adored Bobby. He was one of my dearest friends, and I have so many warm memories of him. His life was brief, but brilliant, burning hot like the brightest star, and then he was gone. He left and indelible mark and created an enduring legacy through his voice, versatility, and artistry.
One of my favorites has always been his album Bobby Darin Sings Doctor Dolittle. It’s a truly beautiful recording, and, in my opinion, one of his very best.
Happy birthday in heaven, old friend. It’s hard to believe you have been gone so long. I miss you very much, and I think of you often.
