Bobby Darin Essentials

Multi-talented superstar Bobby Darin left an indelible mark on pop music during his tragically short career. He got his start writing songs for others before recording a few singles of his own—early rock ‘n' roll classics that instantly made him a huge star. Darin is remembered as a crooner, but he explored several styles throughout the years, including jazz, country and folk. He suffered from a weak heart following a childhood blighted by rheumatic fever, and though he died at the young age of 37, he's been celebrated as one of the most talented artists of his generation.
