"IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HEAR YOU DOING MY FATHER'S MUSIC AND THE KIND WORDS. BOBBY DARIN MAY NO LONGER BE WITH US, BUT HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON IN HIS WORK. THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR PART TO HELP KEEP MY FATHER'S MEMORY ALIVE."
- DODD M. DARIN (Bobby Darin's Son)
“It’s not an easy task to select over a dozen tunes associated with a performer as diverse as Bobby Darin. Stan Edwards has lovingly managed to serve up a hearty sampling of Darin-fare sure to delight ardent fans of both singers and casual listeners alike.
Originally, Stan conceived, wrote, directed, and
performed “That’s All: A Loving Tribute To Bobby Darin”, which
played at the legendary Village Gate in New York City. The show was produced by
Bobby Darin’s longtime friend and publicist, Harriet Wasser. It was indeed the
enthusiastic outpouring from his audience and the rave reviews from the press
that influenced Stan to record this CD. From the swinging opening number “Rainbow
‘Round My Shoulder” to the proverbial cherry on the cake, “That
Darin Guy” (also known as ”Oh Bobby Was”) which
spotlights Stan’s lyrics retelling Bobby Darin’s life story, this recording is a wonderful tribute to the
musical legend that was Bobby Darin”.
- Ron Cannatella, WADU New Orleans LA
“Stan Edwards has a great voice reminiscent of the song stylists
of the mid-50s. His tribute to Bobby Darin is heartfelt and authentic.”
- Ron Delsener, Famed Producer
“Edwards has the essential ingredient to evoke Darin. He
really can swing. He also brings taste, fervor, intelligence and deep appreciation
to this wonderful tribute.”
- David Evanier, author of the highly praised Tony Bennett biography “All the Things You Are” and the acclaimed Darin’s bio “Roman Candle” and author of the Jimmy Roselli biography, “Making the Wise Guys Weep: The Jimmy Roselli Story.”
“Few contemporary performers have ever tried to address
the issue of Darin’s key songs. Stan Edwards, a swinging and sensitive vocal
stylist in his own right has made us realize anew what an absolute major figure
Darin actually was.”
- Will Friedwald, noted music critic and co-author of “The Good Life”, an autobiography of Tony Bennett with Tony Bennett.
“May I thank Stan Edwards for keeping the great songs
alive and equally important, a great voice to make it happen.”
- Joe Franklin, Legendary TV and radio Personality, WOR, WBBR
