2006 Bobby Darin - The Very Best of Bobby Darin

There's been considerable discussion (Stupid by any means) about whether Bobby Darin should be classified as a rock & roll singer, a Vegas hipster cat, an interpreter of popular standards, or even a folk-rocker. He was all of these and none of these. Periodically he was recording pop/rock and folk-rock singles whose principal appeal lay outside of the adult pop market. At one point he started calling himself Bob Darin and recorded songs with vague anti-establishment overtones that could be said to be biting the largely bourgeois hands that fed his highest-paying gigs. It may be most accurate to say that Darin was, above all, a SINGER who wanted to do a lot of things, rather than make his mark as a particular stylist. That's what I call a real Genius. Don't miss it.

Go Go Go!!!!
