He wrote this one too.
BTW, how would anybody react on finding out at 32 that those 2 folks who raised you were really your grandparents and that woman you thought was your sister was really your mother? Profound depression, I'm thinking.
i didnt know that about his grandparents/parents....thanks jazzy!
also, here's Little River Band's lead vocalist Glen Shorrock's solo version of "dream lover" from around 1979...
despite their huge success as a band around that period, this one wasnt as big a hit as it probably could have been...

This rendition presented is excellent and why I bring stuff forward. One niggling thing: Mr. Darin's is still the defining version for the degree of angst expressed through slightly-behind-the-melody singing...as if he was making it up as he went along and wasn't quite sure what words to use. A subtle thing but what frequently divides even the better covers/tributes from a dead-on original. With Mr. Shorrock, it was another song to sing; with Mr. Darin it was THE song to sing--he couldn't not do it It seems that modern bands try to remove this subtlety, this originality of total approach so they can collect the pitiable royalties from wide-spread covers. Over-thinking, crusty old bugger, ain't I?
I hope this post doesn't discourage anyone from posting anything; certainly not meant as a negative criticism.

Yes, SteveO! That entire clip was magnificent!! (sorry, I should have quoted it in my reply). I'm grateful that jazzbo keeps up on the musical events happening in *my* neighborhood and then alerts me to them!! *laughs*

[video=youtube;IATz8ZVTALo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IATz8ZVTALo[/video] This song used to be on the Geico commercials and my favorite cat I ever had (my baby) who died about seven years ago would stop and sit in front of the TV and watch the little Geico swinging in a swing while this song would be playing. I still miss my Scooter so much!! For some reason he loved this song. After it was over he would get up and leave.
