Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor of film and television. He performed in a range of music genres, including jazz, pop, rock'n'roll, folk, swing and country.

He started as a songwriter for Connie Francis, and recorded his own first million-seller "Splish Splash" in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover," "Mack the Knife," and "Beyond the Sea," which brought him world fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film Come September, co-starring his first wife, Sandra Dee.

Throughout the 1960s, he became more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic presidential campaign. He was present on the night of June 4/5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Kennedy's assassination. The same year, he discovered that he had been brought up by his grandmother, not his mother, and that the girl he had thought to be his sister was actually his mother. These events deeply affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.

    Darin At the Copa

    by: Bobby Darin

    You'd be so nice by the fire
    Where the breeze that's it sneak in on high sing a lullaby
    You'd be all that I could desire.
    Under stars chilled by the winter
    Under an August moon burnin' above
    You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
    To come home to and love.
    You'd be ever so nice to park shoes by the fire
    While the breeze on high chants a lullaby
    You'd be all that I could desire.
    And under stars chilled by the wintertime
    Under an August moon burnin' above
    You'd be so nice, you'd be a lot more than paradise
    To come home to and love.
    And love
    And love
    Let's make love.
