Spotlight On Bobby Darin is a fine single CD compilation of his very best songs; and this makes an excellent starter CD for many people who are just discovering the talents of Bobby Darin. Bobby accomplished so much during his all-too-brief life; and this CD proves it. The quality of the sound is very good and the artwork is good although standard for this CD series.
The album starts with a rousing, jazzy rendition of "Alabamy Bound;" this song goes back to the days of Al Jolson and Al would certainly enjoy Bobby's interpretation of this classic tune! "Blue Skies" slows down the pace a bit and it's charming to hear Bobby Darin deliver this song with all his energy. Bobby's excellent sense of timing and diction bolster his performance very nicely; and the music that accompanies him goes perfectly with his singing. "Standing On The Corner" was a very popular song in the late 1950s and early 1960s; I first heard this tune sung by Dean Martin. Bobby again gives this a more jazzy treatment to put his own mark on the number. Great! There's another gem when Bobby performs "I'm Beginning To See The Light;" and I really like "The Good Life." "The Good Life" is extremely elegant and Bobby's version is my absolute favorite! I predict that if you like this type of music you're bound to be charmed by Bobby Darin singing "The Good Life."
"Just In Time" is a very romantic tune that swings here just right; and "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It)" makes me think of Judy Garland who sang this timeless love song in Broadway Melody of 1938. Judy would love Bobby's version of "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It);" I am sure of it.
"Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)" is a true classic if there ever was one; and I am charmed by Bobby's tender style as he sings this to perfection--and beyond! "All By Myself" also has a lot of class; this elegant number shines like silver and gold when Bobby massages the lyrics to make this all his own! "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" boasts a lush musical arrangement to go with Bobby's singing; he does this flawlessly and "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" is another major highlight of this album. Listen also for "Call Me Irresponsible;" "Call Me Irresponsible" has that `60s Vegas nightclub flavor to it and you can tell just how well Bobby must have done this one onstage.
The album closes with Bobby Darin doing yet another terrific number entitled "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World." "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World" has pep and Bobby's natural enthusiasm enhances the song even further.
We are so fortunate that Bobby Darin chose to share his talents with us when he was living; and this CD proves he was a champ. If you like this CD I suggest you try other CDs by the unrivaled Bobby Darin.
