"We can revel in Darin's extraordinary musical gifts. The man may have been physically frail, but on stage he exudes vitality, juicing up audiences with his powerful pipes, slick moves, and boundless enthusiasm. From his very first television appearance in 1956 (singing Rock Island Line) to his last in 1973 (taped only a few months before his death), Darin never gave less than his best, and his performances remain potent and exciting today." - Digitally Obsessed
