Bobby Darin cover

Bobby Darin fit a lot into his 37 years. By the age of 22, Darin topped the charts, but soon reinvented himself as a Sinatra-style crooner, winning a Grammy Award, the adulation of millions, a Hollywood contract, and a starlet wife. Bobby Darin examines the entertainer's entire life, from his boyhood in the Bronx to his rise as a musical sensation, his rocky marriage to Sandra Dee, the evolution of his career, and the shocking secret Darin learned later in life.

A quick and fluid read, Starr's book succeeds at bringing Darin the human being to life. -- James E. Perone * Library Journal *
Starr's solid biography offers colorful quotes from Darin's friends, family and music business associates.
This book will serve as a tribute...excellent. -- books-on-line.com
Starr succinctly tells the story, warts and all, of the meteoric career of this highly talented entertainer. * Tampa Tribune *
