A multilayered portrait of this brash, gifted artist, whose restless voice and spirit seem as alive today as ever. A performer who rivaled Sinatra, Bobby Darin rose from dire poverty to become one of the biggest stars of his generation. Dogged by chronic illness, he knew that time was not on his side, and so, in a career full of dizzying twists and turns, he did it all, moving from teen idol to Vegas song-and-dance man, from hipster to folkie and back. In this biography, David Evanier offers a multilayered portrait of this brash, gifted artist, including the dark side of his celebrated marriage to America's sweetheart, Sandra Dee, and the incredible family secret that tore him apart at the end.

Industry Reviews

""Informed by scores of interviews with Darin's friends and associates ... Evanier's book paints a picture of a ruthlessly ambitious musician ... Sinatra may have had the bragging rights to 'My Way,' but Darin lived out the lyrics."" - Publishers Weekly
