DVD Reviews of Bobby Darin - Beyond the Song

DVD Review: Bobby Darin and Sammy Davis and I
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved Bobby. He was lotsa fun - hung out on a nightly basis 7 days a week lkong with Steve Blauner who is a great guy and must say A GREAT MANAGER - totally responsible for Bobby's success - it was a blast - by that tme I had done 5 albums for Sammy and did Bobby's live show - he and Sammy and I and Steve were a Great Group - more laughs than Jonathan Winters and Milton Berle could give us - had more laughs than one can count - I did lots of Bobby's music - + re-doing some of his NY charts as they did not really swing - did them with no credit - but on the Copa album Bobby saluted me.

I did his Mocambo debut in Hollywood as well as 5 Sammy albums as well - Bobby was one of a kind and lotsa fun with our nightly 7 nights per week at Sammys - it was a fantabulous time until I became a producer and director - and my ambition in life to be a producer-director broke us up and I became a pducer-directpr in TV and Films.

Our finale was broken up after an evening at Milton Berle's home in Beverly Hills.. and it was sooo funny that Sammy was on the end and Bobby in the middle and it was soooo funny that we LITERALLY fell off the chairs - as Buddy Hackett and Jan Murray also added to the frivolity.

DVD Review: BOBBY is amazing & incredible
Summary: 5 Stars

I'd heard the name Bobby Darin along with the others of that era, but i wasn't really tuned in completely. That generation was my mom's and her friends music. I heard the songs, liked them too. But i didn't really appreciate Bobby's Songs until i saw the movie where Kevin Spacey immortalized an already immortal soul. This man Bobby was an absolute genius. And the documentary Beyond the Song is worth every cent. You see the man in action, you feel the man, you hear the man ... and you grow to become very fond of this man. He truly sparkles. He shines in a light all his own. Indefinable, so many facets, so many depths. What an incredible journey. Wow.

DVD Review: What Else Can ANYONE say!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Bobby Darin ran "circles" around any entertainer, actor, etc. Especially Sammy Davis Jr. You should have seen some of his "live" performances. Then, everyone would understand. The first experience that I had was in Chicago, in 1959, where he appeared at the Chez Paree. I was in the "restricted" private club with the owner. All of a sudden, at 4:00 AM, we heard classical piano music. The owner could not understand as to what we were hearing, as the Supper Club, had been closed two hours earlier. It was BD playing. Absolutely, knew at that moment that BD had MORE going than just singing. December 20, 1973 will be forever imbedded in my mind. RIP Bobby. Many of us miss you!!!!!

DVD Review: "A must for Bobby Darin fans everywhere"
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been a Bobby Darin fan for a number of years-He was certainly a versatile performer-The man could sing rock & roll,standards,country,& folk music-What I liked about this documentary was that you heard from folks who spoke highly of Darin,such as Ahmet Ertegun.the president of Darin's first label,Atlantic Records,Dick Clark,Connie Francis,Tony Orlando,& Dodd Darin,Bobby's son-I liked the fact that you got to see vintage clips of Bobby on TV & in concert-If you liked the "Beyond The Sea" biopic,you have to buy this DVD-It's worth every penny.

DVD Review: Absolutely the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Description of Bobby Darin - Beyond the Song

Beyond the Song is the quintessential tribute to an innovative performer whose tragically brief life was often stranger than fiction. With songs like Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea and the classic Mack The Knife under his belt by age 23, Bobby Darin soon found himself confronted by simply everything he had ever wanted; but it wasn't nearly enough. He died on December 20, 1973 from heart trouble. Featured in the show are live performance clips including: Mack the Knife, Splish Splash, Dream Lover, Beyond The Sea, As Long as I'm Singing, If I Were a Carpenter, That Funny Feeling, Higher and Higher, Simple Song of Freedom and For Once in My Life. This engaging program traces Darin's career from his first television appearance in 1956 to his last in 1973. Along the way, interviews with family and friends help to illustrate the deep impact that Bobby had on those fortunate enough to know him. Bobby Darin left a rich legacy of music and memories. He was an entertainer of unparalleled ability whose real impact lives on, long Beyond the Song.
