Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

Your loving eyes
Your kissable lips
Make my heart realize

And I know, it's true
'Cause who wouldn't fall
Well, I don't know

But it's got me
And, baby, I'm hooked

You make angels call from above
You could make the

And who wouldn't fall
For irresistible you
Oh, come on

What a gigantic talent this guy was! He could do it all, play a few instruments, compose music, act, do impressions, dance a bit, sing like crazy and was a just all-around nice guy. We miss him and hate that he was taken away so young at age 37, the world lost a great guy.

Que voz mejor que Sinatra tenemos que recordar tu legado
Carlos De Leon
Bobby Darin was a wonderful singer, performer. He was able to do different genres of music. He did comedy, he had that 'attitude dancing'. He was very talented. I have and enjoy listening to many of his recordings on vinyl. On this particular song: "Irresistible You" , I think Trini López does a tremendous job with the arrangement of Don Costa.
EDITH SYMMANS
Wonderful song sung by a sexy charismatic young man……. this is REAL MUSIC by the best ever talent in the business. Bobby swings beautifully and no one comes close, he achieved so much in his short life doing it all and some, others who live longer aren't this talented. An awesome multi-talented guy who came from very humble beginnings….. he never forgot where he came from but kept fighting the odds every day of his life. An absolutely awesome entertainer, showman, actor, you name it, he did it all, who's star shone brightly, gone far too soon……. REMEMBERED FOREVER MORE
Kathleen Cerone
EDITH SYMMANS : must always love & appreciate his talent/style❣️

Agree, I used to automatically think and say that Sammy Davis Jr. was the best entertainer all time. But that was until youTube, I had no clue Darin had all those skills on just about everything. I'll give Sammy on tap dancing but that's truly because I don't think Bobby had the endurance/stamina to do that due to his heart condition which was known from birth. And they're pretty even in a lot of things but Bobby's got him on acting and songwriting, unless Sammy's done some songwriting I don't know about. But versatility on instruments, impersonations etc. all being almost equal Sammy can out tap dance Darin, but btw I believe Sammy himself stated, Darin is the guy he does not want to follow on stage.

Great pics and song! I don't understand why so many people described him as not being good-looking... Just looking at these photos shows how GREAT-looking he was, and combined with his moves he's absolutely yummy! Thanks so much for putting this up.
