Audio File

Jack Wagner: Well, as they used to say in the OLD radio days, guess who just walked in?

Bobby Darin: (As James Cagney) Ahhh..I'll tell you who just walked in here, Jimmy Cagney, that's who!

JW: No, no, no, no.. not Jimmy Cagney.

BD: (As James Stewart): Well, maybe it was a..maybe it was James Stewart...

JW: No not James Stewart...try Bobby Darin!

BD: Bobby who?

JW: (Laughing) How are you, Bob?

BD: Very well, Jack and you?

JW: Fine, I'm thrilled over this new album of yours, Bob.

BD: Thank you.

JW: You should make an album of impressions, you know that? You're very good...

BD: (As Walter Brennan): Well, I say boys I'd do it, but they keep on suein' me!....(As Bobby) No, I did at one time, well,let's see,I've done it many times in night clubs of course. I've done a whole routine of about 12 or 13 impressions, but I don't think it would really hold up on a LP... ALONE, you know, I might insert it... maybe some live performance,sometime I might do it..

JW: Bob, your involved in so many facets of show business, singing, acting, publishing, composing...do you have a favorite among these?

BD: I would rather act then do anything else in the entire world, Jack...that doesn't mean I don't like to sing, I love to sing, but if somebody said to me, "What would you rather do?" I would say act...

JW: Now you're in the publishing business, too..

BD: Well, that's because there's money in it,and I love money. I don't get paid for acting you see...I pay them, so I have to get the money from somewhere, so I run a publishing firm.

JW: Now, your situated in Hollywood here with some offices and you some offices in New York too...

BD: Yes, I have a staff of 20 people between here and New York and I also have worldwide representation offices in London and Australia and all over...

JW: Well, you've certainly worked hard for it , Bobby and I hope things just keep growing and growing for you.

BD: I hope so.

JW: Bob, thank you so much for coming by again.

BD: My pleasure as always, Jack.

JW: Good to see you.

BD: Thank you.
