Yes, I simply can't wait until tomorrow to tell you about the famous singer from the fifties through the early 70s...
Bobby Darin was born May 14, 1936 as Walden Robert Cassotto. When he was just a little boy, he had recurring bouts of rheumatic fever, which left his heart frail. He was told he wouldn't live past the age of 15 or 16 so Bobby was determined to make it big before he died. He was going to be even better than Frank Sinatra!
At first it was very hard, but then he sang a song that splashed its way into the hearts of all teenagers. The rock n' roll song was called Splish Splash. He also had other hits, such as Beyond the Sea, and Mack the Knife.
In 1960, Bobby married actress Sandra Dee, who had acted with him in the movie, Come September. Rock Hudson was also in the movie with the two. Their son, Dodd Mitchell Darin was born in 1961.
Unfortunately, the two divorced in 1969.
At the age of 37, in 1973, Bobby Darin died, after surgery trying to repair his heart.
God Bless 'til I get back from Beeton-ton!!!
