The Bobby Darin Story
A tribute to Bobby Darin that was sent to me for publication. Written by his close friend on the 30th anniversary of his untimely death in December 1973, it's an intimate portrait of this great vocalist, best known for such diverse hits as "Mack The Knife," "Splish Splash," and "If I Were A Carpenter." I found it extremely moving, so I present it here now in its entirety.
