Bobby Darin's legendary status was assured when his 1959 megahit Mack the Knife earned him two Grammy Awards. In addition to a standout recording career, Darin also excelled in motion pictures (with an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1963), on television (with his own NBC prime time variety series), and with personal appearances (headlining in Las Vegas at age 23). Bobby Darin died in 1973, at the age of 37. Bobby Darin's remarkable talent as a singer, musician, composer and actor is showcased in this highly rated 1970 television special, taped at the peak of his popularity. He is joined by a young and just-emerging Linda Ronstadt and the ever-young and charming George Burns in two delightful numbers. Bobby leaves us with an uplifting Simple Song of Freedom, his call of hope and peace for the future. V.I.E.W. Video is proud to bring back the good-time fun of "The Sounds of he 70's", with 'Bobby Darin: The Darin Invasion', which will lift your spirits with the sounds and stars of that colorful decade...and "The Beat Goes On!"
