Bobby Darin worked TO his audience

Obedient children stayed in their seats

Bobby called Dick, "Richard"

I was there in those days and I miss them ... dearly ! !

Very cool. So funny to watch the kids in the audience. Almost all of them were chewing gum.

I liked the Dick Clark lip sync, but searched and found an on-stage live version, much longer and a lot later. The guy still had it. Great performer.

fairly talented singer. Read in real life he was a jerk.
Never could understand what Sandra Dee saw in him.

I think he was a sincere romantic born in an era where crooning could be jazzified .. a flavor he really liked

Bobby and a young Donald Trump have some similar facial features/expressions.

A picture of a Jack*ss would have been more appropriate.
Stay classy, dude.

“Beyond the Sea” is still a GREAT, jazzy sounding song!

Thanks...what year was that? I think a bit before my time, but still I loved it. Did y’all see Nixon in the back row? And how they all dressed?

I watched that. I’ll have to assume he was singing into a dead mike.

Great entertainer! Mack the knife, come on!

I might remind those who don’t know about the 2004 Kevin Spacey movie ‘Beyond the Sea’ - fantastic movie about Bobby Darin where Spacey did all the vocals and was tremendous at it - you forget it isn’t actually Bobby Darin.

Bobby Darin was a troubled man for various reasons, suffered ill health all his life (heart) and it seemed to give him a different take on life ...

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin had one son and that son wrote a book about them a few years ago .. can’t remember the name of it but it was fascinating.

Here's the original version:

La Mer (the sea)--Charles Trenet (1946)

Another early version, sung in Dutch:

De Zee--Bob Scholte (1948)

I like good movies with opening or closing scene scores like this. I think it does wonders for the movie. Worst thing that turns me off a movie is Hip-Hop or RAP.

Love the little bit of jitterbug he throws in, with a couple of the girls in the audience.

He even had a couple of Elvis-like moves going, during the refrain (?).
