Bobby Darin was an original and very talented in every way possible! He could sing and he could act. His variety show was popular and this set is well worth watching to see who comes on next. In an era where talented people appeared in our homes to entertain us nightly the Bobby Darin Show stood out as fun and always enjoyable!
