Bobby Darin

His Songs By Other Artists

"As for me, I'd rather write a song..."

Songwriter Hall of Fame member Bobby Darin wrote many great songs, which were recorded by a eclectic group of artists. Below is a list of some of his songs and some of artists who recorded them. (NOTE: The medleys, while we found them fun to make, are bigger downloads so please be patient.)

The list was derived from Jeff Bleiel's book THAT'S ALL Bobby Darin on Record, Stage & Screen and other research done by Donna Carter. This page is always under construction and contributions and information are appreciated and welcomed. Special thanks to Donna, Marilyn & MaryAnn Brown, Jimmy Scalia, Frank Lipstik, Shane Brown and Harriet Wasser for some of the contributions here.
