REVIEW: Beyond The Song is the quintessential tribute to an innovative performer whose tragically brief life was often stranger than fiction. With songs like Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea and the classic Mack The Knife under his belt by age 23, Bobby Darin soon found himself confronted by simply everything he had ever wanted: but it wasn’t nearly enough. He died on December 20, 1973 at the age of 37.
This engaging program traces Darin’s career from his first television appearance in 1956 to his last in 1973. Along the way, interviews with family and friends help to illustrate the deep impact that Bobby had on those fortunate enough to know him.
Featured in the show are live performance clips including: Splish Splash / Mack The Knife / Beyond The Sea / As Long As I’m Singing / If I Were A Carpenter / That Funny Feeling / Higher And Higher / Simple Song Of Freedom / For Once In My Life.
