WOW!!! After 57 years of owning the record "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey" and playing the B-side probably dozens of times during the summer of 1960, I'm just now realizing that this is the same song as the Gerry & The Pacemakers remake from nearly 5 years later. That's pretty incredible!!!

His music has no time limits even my younger son listens to all his music. He was taken way too soon. A young man with so much talent, yet someone who wanted to make a difference in the world. You're missed Bobby even now. But so happy you were here even though in our hearts it was no long enough

Have to admit the first time I heard this song, it was Gerry Marsden's version and I loved it. I grew up in a Bobby Darin loving household, and when I found out it was Bobby's song I instantly listened to' it. I find I love both versions, I actually saw Gerry sing it live in Brighton, England in the 70s but most unfortunately was too young to ever see Bobby Darin perform it live. He died way too young.

I still miss Bobby. He was taken from us much too early. A sublime voice who captures every note and word with perfection. RIP Bobby. Here’s to your memory.

Wow! Incomparable ! What superb timing and delivery!

On this day in 1965 {January 12th} Gerry and the Pacemakers performed "I'll Be There" on the NBC-TV program 'Hullabaloo'... One month earlier on December 12th, 1964 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #14 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #15 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... The song was written and originally recorded by Bobby Darin in 1960; his version peaked at #79... R.I.P. Mr. Darin {1936 - 1973}...

Beautiful Song. So Sad.

I came to this later, having always heard the version by Gerry and the Pacemakers. What a wonderful song. Great job, Bobby!

Bobby Darin's self penned and recorded song "I'll Be There" is the best version. His unique versatile multi-talents took Bobby along many varied paths in his life and giving his fans the opportunity to see just what this young man was really all about. If Bobby had made it through his recovery this world would have been a bigger oyster for him than it already was at the time. Bobby's songs are timeless and I always experience great joy listening to them, even my young nine year old grand child loves listening to him, singing along. Says something for music of the 50's, 60's and early 70's doesn't it. Fantastic era in time. Best ever in the business. Love Bobby's entire enormous body of work, man is a genius. RIP Bobby !!!!!!

A beautiful performance by the man who composed the song and wrote the lyric.

Never to be forgotten Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin another of the greats. ❤❤

Love this song! Love Bobby Darin!

The most beautiful song i've ever heard, make me wanna cry at every i listen to it.

Darin splendid singer of any musical genre, musician, songwriter, composer, dancer, actor and entertainer. What an immense talent.

Such a beautiful song by a beautiful singer. Bobby Darin was a talent that was taken from us much too soon.

wonderful song great lyrics wasnt as big as his others but every bit as good

He might be the most complete pop performer of all time. Great singer (almost all genres), song writer (like this one), musician (multi instruments), fine actor (Oscar nom), VG comedic impressionist and the ultimate showman.

My favorite of all Darin songs. Opened my teenage-heart to all that might come upon me in the future. And it worked well.

I'd forgotten about this song. It's good to here it again.

Miss him, what an entertainer!

I love Bobby, I love this beautiful song.. Thank for you posting Carlos Ivan.. From Australia.

Pure Sweetness

Perfect looks! perfect voice! perfect entertainer!!!!.... shear perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!#

fantastic song. by. bobby darin. he. was. great. love it.

Great Bobby

OMG! I never knew Bobby wrote this song.... always assumed Gerry Marsden did. 💖

The last song played every night at The Cavern by the DJ to remind everyone it was 'going home time'

@DoctorScrumpy You hit the nail on the head.Bobby Darin could really sing from a beautiful ballard like this through Mack the Knife.You were so right when the girly voiced gits we are subjected to now fill the airwaves

bobby darin...único !

Great song by a very talented singer who did not always pick the right songs to record,he did on this occasion

First introduced to this great song by hearing Gerry and the Pacemakers version...Love them both.

A great voice... miss you, Bobby!

Bobby Darin cantaba muy lindo.Gracias.

great singer

Great song, ejoyed hearing it again very much!

Whenever you want tô listen a marvelous song don t worry this marvelous músic will bê there !Thank you for everything whatever you werw Bobby Darin !!?

Super singer on a brilliant song. Sadly missed by true music lovers everywhere

Salve, : Darin in questa canzone, quasi ripete il successo avuto da “ Dream Lover “, ed è per questo che il Cantautore, passerà imperituro nella Storia Musicale, per il suo grande talento.- ( aldo ).-

We grew up together in the Bronx. I miss him every day of my life.

love this song, im discovering Bobby Darins true talent and its amazing me.

This guy had so many brilliant talents, he was more than human. Robert Walden also had the humility to recognize when someone else could do a song better than him, like this one for Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers. And passing on Danke Schoen and giving it to We Know Who!

This is a favorite of mine that Bobby Darin wrote and sings and also Elvis sang it too.

wonderful music

This the forever best version ! RIP Bobby Darin !

Gone too soon. RIP.

What a great song this is. It should have been a multi million seller . His best song with Dream Lover. A great voice and went from this planet too early like Elvis, Roy the boy, Jim Reeves, Brooke Benton, and on it goes. These were the best years of music when it changed to stereo. People nowadays don't realise that this is where surround sound came from.

wow....just wow

I'll be there when all your dreams are broken To answer your unspoken prayer, oh.... When the little things you're doin', ooh, don't turn out right Don't you worry darlin' I'll be thereThere whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah! So if your new love isn't your true love Don't you worry darlin', I'll be thereThere whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah! So if your new love isn't your true love Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there .......

Just take my breath away Bobby

Lovely song.Sung with such feeling.Taken from us far too soon

Me inunda la dulce y sufrida nostalgia , arremolinado mi corazón maduro lleno de impetuosos recuerdos

Those were the days.

Bella canción ,logré entender la letra es maravillozo ,amor puro y limpio

This has to be Bobby Darins best,Such feeling and what a terrific backing orchestra

Una gran leyenda del Rock´n and roll, Gran cantante y gran showman; se decia en aquel entonces que seria el sucesor de Frank Sinatra, pero lamentablemente nos abandono siendo muy joven+++Dios te bendiga Bobby+++

Great song by a great artist.peace GARYV.

Yes, it was the flip side of "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey", on Atco Records 6167. My friend who graduated from high school in 1959 has the original single on Atco. I also checked a few of the Bobby Darin discography's on the internet, and they all say that this song was on the flip side in '59-'60. Bill Bailey was the A side and got up to number 19 on the U.S. music charts, while Darin's own composition of I'll Be There" peaked at number 79 on the charts.

Great singer i would say one of the all time greats.

To everyone who went to the Cavern, i wish id been there, thanks for giving us The Beatles.

Just watched BEYOND THE SEA AND AM IN A DARIN MOOD. RIP.

co za piękny głos i świetna muzyka ,dziękuję pozdrawiam

This is one of my favorites. I was all of 12 when I first heard it and then a little older when Gerry and Pacemakers covered it later.

never heard it till now, thanks

so heart touching moves me to tears

Tells you how good he was when brian epstein, the beatles and Gerry and the pacemakers ,heard Gerry sing this bobby darin song, and signed them right away, because Gerry did the song a lot of justice! brian became the manager of both great bands!

"The Master of Smooth"

I love this beautiful song of Bobby's. Thank you for posting Carlos Iván.

Gee, the gold old times...

This song was on the "B" side of Bobby's 1960 single "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?"...Don't know why it didn't catch on then. I was only 5 at the time. LOL But, fast forward a few years, and Gerry and the Pacemakers discover the song, and it is a hit, and makes money for Darin, as the songwriter. Nice. He also wrote his hit songs "Splish Splash" and "Dream Lover", if I'm not mistaken.

One song I wish I could have written.

A gem of a song. My heart feels good listening to this tune. Jan. 2021

Mama Cass cantou essa musicaxom muito mais emoção, procurem ouvir... Mama Cass Maravilhosa.

Sí quisiera que siempre estés allí, obvio para mí.

I just Love , Love this song.. ❤❤i think I was Born in a wrong time slot!

LOVE THIS !! THANKS FOR POSTING.

No se porque me gustan las canciones de esa época las encuentro que realmente son cantadas con el corazón. Y además me recuerdo cuando mi mamá las cantaba

Bobby Darin was a genius, when it came to writing a song or interpreting a classic, Bobby could do it all. It’s was so sad when way, back in 1960, this was just the flip side of Bobby’s hit “Bill Bailey”. it took Gerry and the Pacemakers to get the song the play it so richly deserved. So what’s old is new again, Here’s Bobby....P.S. if you want this song and many other great Bobby Darin tracks, this is on his album “Things & Other Things”. MK 2020

Qué románticas canciones bailábamos en mi generación.....hermosos recuerdos...Amores nuevos...nuevas sensaciones...

Bobby Darin is so cute sigh

Great song... I remember Elvis Version...

On this day in 1960 {May 23rd} "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #19 and spent 11 weeks in the Top 100... The B-side also charted, "I'll Be There", reached #79... "I'll Be There" was covered by Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1965; their version reached #14 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 and #1 on the Canadian Singles chart... It was also covered by Elvis Presley, Cissy Houston, and Cass Elliot...

i new bobby could sing but also write them WHAT TALANT"

wow just heard this tune on boom radio,always thought gerry and the p,s did it first

Me trae mucha nostalgia de mi juventud y me da pena.

SIEMPRE ESTARE ALLI BOBBY D.

I always loved the Gerry and the Pacemakers cover of this tune, and still do, but the moment I heard the original... that was IT!

Smashing listen

Melodia sufletului meu!

His voice is really sweet he is good looking loll

the original.......Bobby Darin

This was the B side of Bobby's Top 20 record, "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey", a record I bought for the B side! (Although "Bill Bailey" was also a damn good record..) But "I'll Be There" I always found profoundly haunting. Gerry and The Pacemakers made a hit out of it in 1965, but I didn't think it came near Bobby's version. (It was written by Darin.)

I enjoyed the music! ---------Ellen
