#BobbyDarin is another of my all time favorites. A wonderful performer who left us way to soon, like so many. Here's one of the best of his many (yes...he will show up here again) great tunes. Watch the little stuff, the timing, etc. -- you'll like this.   2

This is the old song we all learned just a little bit as kids. In researching for a cast, I was surprised to discover at least three very good and very different renditions of Clementine: one by Bing Crosby & the Music Maids from 1941, one by Neil Young & Crazy Horse from 2012 (which was my jam last week), and this one by Bobby Darin from 1960. Unlike the Neil Young version, here Darin seems awfully cheery about Clementine and her untimely end. Hope you like it!
