This new, updated edition of That's All: Bobby Darin On Record, Stage & Screen (called "the ultimate Darin reference book" by Billboard magazine) chronicles the life and professional accomplishments of the classic pop singer ("Mack The Knife," "Beyond The Sea"), Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and show business icon Bobby Darin (1936-1973).
Singer, songwriter, actor, television personality, musician, teen idol, and consummate Las Vegas entertainer, Bobby Darin had "the most interesting career of any performer of the second half of the 20th century," according to author Jeff Bleiel.
Based on extensive archival research and interviews with over 25 professional associates (including producers, arrangers, musicians and actors) who worked with Darin, this book provides coverage and analysis of:
- Classic Darin hits including "Splish Splash," "Mack The Knife," "Beyond The Sea" and "If I Were A Carpenter"
- Darin's appearances in 13 movies (including three in which he co-starred with his wife Sandra Dee) and numerous television shows, including his own 1972-73 series
- Darin's legendary live performances in Las Vegas, at The Copacabana in New York, and elsewhere
- His success as a songwriter, his acclaimed work in different musical genres (rock'n'roll, pop standards, folk, jazz, country), and his activities in the political and social movements of the 1960s
