I liked this collection for the unusual way the songs are combined from various sources. I have everything Bobby Darin so I guess I am a little biased, but this collection is very good value.

Gone at only 37 years of age, Bobby Darin was a real talent and a master of anything he attempted. This collection of 3 CD`s or 75 tracks gives you the different sides of his musical ability. First we had the `pop` which put him on the map, this was followed by the more serious side, akin to the Sinatras and Bennetts with ballads, jazz, swing and even rock `n` roll. His career, which later embodied acting, for which he won several awards was always on the rise, until 1973 when he died.He has left us a lasting legacy and this collection gives you an idea of what might have been, had he survived. I guess all we can say is `THANKS!

hi the cd arrived and i played it and the quality was great, i think if Bobby Darin was alive today he would have been very proud of the way his songs have been put on three discs, i have played it every day and ca'nt to put it on my i pgone and ipod.

I love this great collection of Bobby's music

Great collection. Well worth the money.

excellent
