The Magic of Bobby Darin

My introduction to the great Bobby Darin was back in 1971. I was 7 years old. Thanks to my mom, I had the privilege of growing up listening to Bobby's incredible voice. The countless hours spent listening to Bobby's albums—I couldn't believe how magnificent this man was!!! His voice took me to a place I have yet to find the right words to describe.

I remember the day bobby died like it was yesterday. I was consumed with sadness. All these feelings for bobby I could not explain. I felt alone. I only knew that I had to have his music as a part of my life, and have to this day. I can't even begin to tell you how much Bobby's music, his life, his work has meant to me. My consolation is the fact that bobby is not really gone, as his music lives in our hearts forever!

As long as he's singing,
the world's alright
and everything's swinging!

My life has been enriched because a little boy by the name of Walden Robert Cassotto was born May 14, 1936. Thank you, Bobby, for touching my soul by making the world's most beautiful music!!!!!

With great admiration,
