Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor of film and television. He performed in a range of music genres, including jazz, pop, rock'n'roll, folk, swing and country.
He started as a songwriter for Connie Francis, and recorded his own first million-seller "Splish Splash" in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover," "Mack the Knife," and "Beyond the Sea," which brought him world fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film Come September, co-starring his first wife, Sandra Dee.
Throughout the 1960s, he became more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic presidential campaign. He was present on the night of June 4/5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Kennedy's assassination. The same year, he discovered that he had been brought up by his grandmother, not his mother, and that the girl he had thought to be his sister was actually his mother. These events deeply affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.
Bobby Darin is the debut album by American singer Bobby Darin released in 1958. It includes Darin's US number one hit "Splish Splash".
Music critic Andrew Hamilton wrote in his Allmusic review on the 1994 CD reissue "Somebody tried to remake Darin into a young Dean Martin and failed. Only the most ardent Bobby Darin fans should consider purchasing this CD."
Standing on the Corner may refer to:
"Standing on the Corner" is a popular song written by Frank Loesser and published in 1956. It was introduced by Shorty Long, Alan Gilbert, John Henson, and Roy Lazarus in the Broadway musical, The Most Happy Fella.
A recording of the song by the Four Lads (made March 1, 1956) was popular in 1956. The recording was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 40674. It first reached the Billboard charts on April 28, 1956. It peaked at #3 on each of the various charts at the time: the Disk Jockey chart, the Best Seller chart, the Juke Box chart, as well as the composite chart of the top 100 songs. The flip side was "My Little Angel". Jimmy Arnold, lead tenor for The Four Lads in 1956, is sometimes erroneously listed as the song's co-author.
On February 9, 2010 the Irish group Celtic Thunder released their 4th album entitled "It's Entertainment". This album, meant to pay homage to past musical styles, features their youngest member Damian McGinty singing "Standing on the Corner". Celtic Thunder's DVD of the same name features McGinty dressed in a sweater and cabbie performing the number.
"Blue Yodel #9" (also called "Standing on the Corner" from the opening line) is a blues/country song by Jimmie Rodgers and is the ninth of his "Blue Yodels". Rodgers recorded the song on July 16, 1930 with an unbilled Louis Armstrong on trumpet and his wife Lil Hardin Armstrong on piano.
The song is set in Memphis at the corner of Beale Street and Main Street, a block from the current location of B.B. King's Blues Club. It tells a tale warning all the "rounders" in Memphis of the arrival a "Tennessee hustler". As he tells a policeman who demands his name:
The song was selected as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. In 1970 Armstrong recreated his performance in an appearance with Johnny Cash on The Johnny Cash Show.
The song has been covered by the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band on Almost Acoustic, Jerry Garcia and David Grisman on Been All Around This World and Steve Earle on Shut Up And Die Like An Aviator.

You'd be so nice by the fire
Where the breeze that's it sneak in on high sing a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire.
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love.
You'd be ever so nice to park shoes by the fire
While the breeze on high chants a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire.
And under stars chilled by the wintertime
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be a lot more than paradise
To come home to and love.
And love
And love
Let's make love.
