"Lovin' You" #32 2/18/1967

The last Top 40 effort for Bobby Darin, written by John Sebastian. Bobby was born Walden Robert Cassotto in the East Harlem section of NYC, and the women he thought were his much older sister and mother were actually his birth mother and grandmother. He only found that out a few years before he died. While working as a scuffling songwriter at the famed Brill Building, he fell hard for a young Connie Francis. Her dad put an end to that budding relationship before it went anywhere, much to their regret. Bobby was such a talented entertainer who passed away far too soon from heart issues at the age of 37.
