February 15, 2022 Records of the Day

Bobby Darin was truly a man of many talents. He was a 1950’s teen idol, a swinging Big Band crooner in the style of Frank Sinatra, a Blues singer rivaling Ray Charles, and a successful actor. Darin was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in “Capt. Newman M.D.” He was also somewhat of a psychic, predicting that he would die at an early age. He was only 37 when his heart gave out. His 1960 album, “Bobby Darin for Teenagers Only,” released on ATCO Records, is worth up to $150.00 today. His biggest hit from the album “Somebody to Love” can fetch $40.00 with its picture sleeve.
