Date Posted:01/10/2019 02:57:40Copy HTML Chip, I was listening to Music Choice "All Christmas" via my smartphone in my car last week and they played a Christmas song by Bobby Darin. I really don't remember hearing much from Bobby Darin that was Christmas music, and I googled him and found that he released a Christmas Album "The 25th Day of December" on ATCO Records in 1960 33-125. I was trying to seacrh for him in the message board to see if this album is i your top 500 or not, but can't search. So I started going through each tier, but didn't see it, and was just curious to try and find out if his Christmas album was that popular or not? Christmas Isn't Just A Day In December, It's A Way Of Life.

Re:Bobby Darin Date Posted:01/11/2019 05:31:26Copy HTML Susan, Bobby Darin's Christmas album resides in the "Bubbling Under" section of my Top 500, coming in at #430. The album did pretty well for Bobby; however, it never charted. Lawrence F. "Chip" Arcuri

Re:Bobby Darin Date Posted:01/11/2019 05:00:49Copy HTML Thanks Chip, I had been thinkimng that it never charted and that is why I probably don't remember hearing much from him for Christmas on the radio growing up. I am a bit surprised though because his other songs were pretty popular, even to this day,and some were covered by other artists Splish Splash, Dream Lover, Beyond The Sea, If I were a Carpenter. 18 Yellow Roses, Things. just to name a few. EDITED to clarify something I stated above. I meant to say that the songs I listed were popular by Bobby Darin, not meaning to imply that all those songs were covered by other artists. Christmas Isn't Just A Day In December, It's A Way Of Life.

Re:Bobby Darin Date Posted:01/12/2019 02:05:13Copy HTML Interestingly enough....I don't ever recall hearing about Bobby Darin's Christmas album or even that he recorded any Christmas songs until recently. I was in one of my local Walgreens before the holidays and saw a budget compilation cd called 'Crooner's Christmas'. I bought it. His song, 'Christmas Lang Syne' is the song that ends the album. It is wonderful!!! I may have to investigate the entire album! |

Re:Bobby Darin Date Posted:01/12/2019 08:04:42Copy HTML Gene, That song, "Christmas Auld Lang Syne," was a non-LP Christmas single that Bobby released the same year as his Christmas album, The 25th Day Of December. Side B of that 45-rpm single was one of his great spiritual songs from the album, "Child of God." Both of these songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: #51 for the former, and #95 for the latter. By the way, "Christmas Auld Lang Syne" was included as a bonus track on the 2013 Real Gone Music reissue of Bobby's Christmas album. Lawrence F. "Chip" Arcuri
