MUSIC ... what do you like?

This was played during the film "The American President" last night. I've seen the film before but I do like this tune. They don't write 'em like that any more.

I've finally got round to watching "Beyond the Sea" the film starring Kevin Spacey of the life of the singer Bobby Darin.

This song is included in the film, not by him. This is a live recording of his which someone has posted on YouTube with a collection of photos of Darin and his wife Sanda Dee.

I've always liked the tune, written by Lee Adams & Charles Strouse, from the musical "All-American."

Here's an orchestral arrangement if you don't like Bobby Darin.

Nice bit of pickin' and only four strings......:gnthb:
Nice pic. too.

 

Hi Shiney,

Thanks for that.
The film I thought was quite good, not too sensational. It dealt with the less glamorous side of his life reasonably well.

Although he and Sandra Dee divorced, I looked her up on Wiki, she never married again and was troubled with alcoholism for the rest of her life, dying in 2005. According to their son Dodd, in his book "Dream Lovers" she was born in 1944 but her parents lied about her age to get her work in films. That would have made her 16 when she married Darin.
The film is worth seeing if it comes on again.

Among the many different styles of music in my jukeboxes, I have got Darin's "Beyond the Sea" and "Dream Lover."

 

Actually before I got into jukeboxes I'd thrown away all my "singles."

I'm very particular about the quality of those I've since collected, some are "mint" re-issues, mostly from eBay and some from friends, most from my golf club. A lot of the latter had been stuck up in their lofts for decades and frankly had been "played to death."
Although with some of the rarer ones you haven't a great deal of choice.
If I'm disappointed with any I keep a look out for a better quality one.

You can strike lucky though, there are are lot of singles still around that people bought on impulse many years ago and only played a few times.

 

Some more from my varied taste:yho:

my roots lie definintely in rock. As a child of the 70's I grew up listening to Deep purple and Rush coming at full volumn from ny big brothers bedroom!
I'm currently loving Kasabian and Mumford and sons, aswell as a bit of Florence and the machine. Old favorites for me are Green day, Red hot chilli peppers, Manic street preachers,, Offspring, etc etc...you get the picture and my all time favorite....Aerosmith xxx

 

Nice, never heard it before.

 

Thanks for that, it's well over ten years old now.
