Bobby Darin

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Darin

Bobby Darin (May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973), born Walden Robert Cassotto, was an American singer, actor and musician.

Darin performed in a range of music genres, including pop, rock, jazz, folk and country. Although unknown to the public, his health was dangerously fragile and strongly motivated him to succeed within the limited lifetime he feared he would, and ultimately did, have.

In 1960 after romancing singer Connie Francis, and being run out of the house by her strict Italian father, with a shotgun, breaking her heart, Darin married "Gidget" actress Sandra Dee, whom he met while making his first film Come September (1961). They made a few more movies together at Universal Studios that were moderately successful. They had one son, Dodd Mitchell Darin (also known as Morgan Mitchell Darin) before divorcing in 1967.

He was also an actor, singer/songwriter and music business entrepreneur. His wish for a legacy was "to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer."^[1] Among his many other contributions, he became a goodwill ambassador for the American Heart Association... read more

Yes (band)

official website: http://www.yesworld.com

About YES

The quality of being airborne is a motif throughout Fly From Here, a long-awaited collection from one of rock’s most revered groups, YES. The new album begins with the titular suite, which, at 20-minutes-plus, marks YES’ return to a truly epic method of record-making. All the imagery about prop planes and lonely airfields and sudden flight isn’t just loftiness for its own sake. It’s a reflection of—or maybe mission statement for—the band being reborn yet again.
