13 жыл бұрынBobby Darin - Simple Song Of Freedom (Live and with a Tux) A mega star in his own right, taken way to soon from this world. He was crossing over from the nightclub circuit into the arena of folk music, where his pacifist views were clearly developing.

Imagine this guy, dressed in a tuxedo, looking for-all-the-world like Mr. Establishment, singing a song like this. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. He was a great entertainer and was becoming the voice of the people when he met his untimely death. There should be more like him!

I am.62 yrs. old now,(2013), and have sung Bobby Darin's song of freedom for most of my life, almost as a comforting mantra. The song is so incredibly beautiful and with such meaning and always gave warmth to my heart. To honour Bobby , I love singing and playing it on my acoustic guitar for people. God bless Mr. Darrin, and I thank him so much for this touching song. Wish so much that he could have lived longer. His song here sure did give me life.

Which is what the people of especially today's United States need to hear. It's not that we want to be separated from each other, but the government sure wants us to be.

Bobby sang a lot of different styles of music, which means there's something for everyone. I remember some of his early songs which I didn't know @ the time were his! others I've never heard til recently on UTUBE. Some that he sang are songs I didn't like by those I heard originally sing them. But I DO like his recording of them. So, like I say, something for everyone. And I'm a bigger Bobby Darin fan than ever. IF HE ONLY KNEW! LOVE YOU BOBBY DARIN! SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!

I worked in a record shop in '59 when his Mack the Knife was number 1 the whole year. I mostly like the old music. I learned to like jazz and opera after working at the shop. I don't care for any of today's music. I saw on utube that he did a rap song so I had to listen to it. It was way before all the current rap artists. "Me and Mr. Horner Standing on the Corner". Guess what I have listened to this one more than a couple of times.

Its not obvious, but what Bobby Darin did starting in about 1966, was ballsy. Total transformation in his style. He probably pissed off his older mainstream fans with this kind of material. But he really clearly did not care and I admire the hell out of that.

A local DJ friend took me out to the Flamingo Hotel to Bobby's dressing room and introduced us.Bobby went to LA and recorded 18 Yellow Roses. When he came back he came to where my band played, Twin Lakes Lodge. He sang this song that night, the first time it was played publicly. He was the nicest person you would ever hope to meet. He was like an old friend. He is missed as a performer and a great person.

Lyrics Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war. Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me? I don't want your diamonds or your game I just want to be someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the same. Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war. Seven hundred million are ya list'nin'? Most of what you read is made of lies But, speakin' one to one ain't it everybody's sun To wake to in the mornin' when we rise? Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war. Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy? If not, won't you drop this friend a line Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land Has got the war machine upon his mind? Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war. Now, no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle Like presidents, prime ministers and kings So, let's all build them shelves Where they can fight among themselves Leave the people be who love to sing. Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war. I say … let it fill the air … Tellin' people everywhere … We, the people here, don't want a war. play.google.com/music/preview/Tqxf63x6n5kfzl4xpmtk3vgoc7e?lyrics=1&pcampaignid=kp-lyrics&u=0#

Bobby Darin is truly one of our musical icons and his really caring deep side I don't think showed much on the performance circuit. I don't think I heard this song until I saw the movie beyond the Sea. And the dramatization of this song will never stop moving my emotions. And as others have said it is still very relevant today. Tragic that he had to have and go through the rheumatic fever -a deadly disease. My mother had it and a good friend of mine her mother had it. pm destroys the heart valves, and my mother literally died of a broken ❤️ figuratively and literally when they aorta broke as well and my friend's mother died also from the plastic replacement valves she obtained through surgery and they finally wore through. Bobby's music will be remembered forever and I hope his soul is soaring to greater heights and maybe he'll come back and reincarnate and bring help and energy to get us through this mess we r in right now!

This was Our song voice message from the late 60's thru the early 70's. Sadly thou our country can't ever seem to learn. I can still remember waiting to hear what my draft # would be in 1970. Not only didn't we learn from Korea, then Nam but it was 20 years of destruction in Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan to keep our war machine running to keep the billionaires making more. Now it's quite a different game with N Korea and China watching our Every Move.

I heard this song for the first time several years ago on a PBS documentary. what a great song with great lyrics. Too bad it isn't played more something like Satellite radio. Over covered by current bands.

God bless Bobby Darin, This song still holds some relevance today (in 2013) Sure Bush has left office, but some wars still drag on. Still we still want to sing a "Simple Song Of Freedom!"
