rating: 5 QuoteGreat TalentQuote
These definately are the standards. Just recently I heard his rendition of "Don't Rain on my Parade" as the background to a story on a TV Chanel in Australia. Yes don't miss this one. September 16, 2007

Bobby Darin sings balads on this CD, and sang it like no other singer in his day. He was unique and an original, and ALL the songs on this album proove this. Get this album and you will enjoy every song as I did. I still can not believe that this great talent died so young. We only have his songs with his incredible singing ability to remember him by, and I am thankful for this. October 9, 2005

I loved this album; it's the essence of Bobby Darin! Even today, he would be one of the greatest! Like Patsy Cline, he will live on forever!! March 5, 2005

Darin is a fabulous singer and gives this album his all. As one of my friends says, "Bobby Darin never phoned it in." This particular album suffers some from the material - overripe 1960s pop and show tunes that few would actually call "standards". "Talk to the Animals"? Ask yourself: WWFD - What Would Frank Do? If Sinatra wouldn't sing it, it wasn't a standard.

Bobby sings with as much punch and energy as anyone including Frank. He shows his softer side on songs like "The Shadow of Your Smile" and "Try To Remember." "I Will Wait for You" is one of the better efforts in this genre.

There are a few very good cuts here, notably "Don't Rain On My Parade", which is exceptional, "Lover Come Back To Me", and "Liza", a fine ballad. There are also some low-key, fun swinging tunes like "It's Today" and "It's Only a Paper Moon".

Those starting out their Darin collections can find better values and more classic tunes elsewhere. Those who have already done that and are filling out their Darin catalogues may find some tunes they enjoy here. February 18, 2005
