There is no doubt that even among the legion of larger-than-life characters who emerged in the rock 'n' roll era and following years, Bobby Darin was one of the most remarkable and multi-talented artists of his time. Readily turning his hand, with total credibility, to rock 'n' roll, big band jazz, country and folk as well as pure pop, he was also a hugely talented songwriter, award-winning movie actor and astute music publisher. Darin grew up with a weak heart and, from a very early age, know he wouldn't have a long life to make a name for himself. Learning multiple instruments as a teenager he set out to achieve his goals with a tireless determination. His relentless pursuit of stardom led him down many different avenues of styles, achieving numerous hits across multiple charts. This collection delves into the most successful years of his career starting with his first hit record. It includes ten Top 10's and two landmark No. 1's. From Splish Splash, through Queen of The Hop, Dream Lover, Mack The Knife, Beyond The Sea and Lazy River to Multiplication and Things. It's a varied collection of brilliantly crafted top class pop records, many produced by the ace Atlantic team of Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler. A fantastic overview of Darin's early career and showcases just how driven he was to succeed in the music industry, no matter what.
