Reviews:

A great swing album

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!!

Bobby Darin: A Great Collection From A True Legend

What more can be said of the late, great Bobby Darin? If you like classic pop ballad singers, listen to Bobby sing "Try To Remember" or "After You've Gone." If you like swing, well, any uptempo tune from this collection is sufficient proof that had Darin lived he would have blown by Tony Bennett and saddled right up next to Sinatra. He possessed enormous and genuine talent, charisma, and a magical touch with every genre of music. This collection is one of the all-time great compilations of popular song. What a shame the man died so young.

Not really "the standards"

Darin is a fabulous singer. This album suffers largely because of the material - overripe 1960s pop and show tunes that few aficionadoes 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. Even Darin, who sings with as much punch and energy as anyone including Frank, can't rescue a song like "The Shadow of Your Smile", and I'm not sure why he chose "Try To Remember." Additionally, some of the arrangements are schlocky. There are a few good cuts here, notably "Don't Rain On My Parade", which is exceptional, "Lover Come Back To Me", and "Liza", a fine ballad.
