He left us too soon. He wasn’t in the best of health for much of his life, but man, could he belt out a tune!

Forget **Mack The Knife** , his greatest hit. Bobby had way of making **any** song his own, even that dumb **Clementine** song.

Some of our younger dopers might recognize his rock’n roll hit, **Splish, Splash** , but Bobby was more than that.

My **personal** favorite (other than Mack) is **If I Were A Carpenter**.

Bobby Darin.
