Bobby Darin
Bobby Darin died on this date in 1973 at the age of 37 after a lifetime of failing health from heart problems due to rheumatic fever in childhood. It's sad to think of a life cut short, but he left us with many happy memories.

...a life cut short!
ReplyDeleteYes, so sad :(
DeleteHe sure was a dream boat.
ReplyDeleteWasn't he, though!
DeleteGreat feature today-thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. He had presence. I was glad to see such lovely Christmas selections from him.
DeleteHe had a wonderful voice and was a great performer. Valerie
ReplyDeleteYes, smooth :)
DeleteWow, I've actually heard of him. Too bad he died SO young. I totally enjoyed the Christmas songs, but I liked the Dream Lover even more. Maybe because I am SO burned out on Christmas.
ReplyDeleteDream Lover is a treasure. I'm still enjoying the Christmas music and movies, but you do have to pace yourself and not binge ;) We "do" Christmas through January 6, so there's still plenty ahead for us.
DeleteI haven't heard that name in a long time and I didn't know the story about rheumatic fever. These are great oldies and perfect for this season. Happy start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI like hearing the older versions as well as the new-this-year current artists.
DeleteI wasn't really aware he did Christmas songs, but then almost all singers seem to have put out Christmas albums so I shouldn't be surprised. The first song I remember by Darin was Splish Splash--a silly song. But the Dream Lover turned him into one of the crooner types girls swooned over. He looks so very young on the year he died!
ReplyDeleteI try to listen to some of the new Christmas music every year. It's easier now that we have the internet and Youtube. Splish Splash! was Darin's first hit. Such a cute song lol
DeleteWhat a lovely reminder, so pleased you posted these.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
fond memories :)
