Bobby Darin

I've always been a Bobby Darin fan. Not that I can claim to have screamed it from a mountaintop or anything, but when it comes to crooners from the '50s and '60s, he's tops on my list. Mainly because of one song, Beyond the Sea. Love that song. Damn I love that song.

Not that his others were not great, but when you have that one in your pocket, you're doing just fine. It was even better a couple years ago when Kevin Spacey starred, directed, produced and maybe even catered the crew when he made Beyond the Sea, a biographical film about Darin's life. Spacey is a surprisingly good dancer and singer, at least when it comes to covering Darin's songs, so there's an extra talent he can fall back on if he keeps doing shitty movies like KPax and not doing fantastic films like Usual Suspects.

Here's Spacey doing his take on Mack the Knife. Good stuff.
