Editing Bobby Darin (section)

=== 1960s ===
Darin's 1960 recording of "Artificial Flowers", a song by [[Sheldon Harnick]] and [[Jerry Bock]] from the Broadway musical ''[[Tenderloin (musical)|Tenderloin]]'' about the death of a child laborer, featured a jazzy, [[big band]] arrangement by Richard Behrke, that was in sharp contrast to its tragic lyrics.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdFon6m_I0g Artificial Flowers], from YouTube.</ref>

In 1962, Darin began to write and sing [[country music]], with hit songs including "[[Things (Bobby Darin song)|Things]]" (US number three/UK number two) (1962), "[[You're the Reason I'm Living]]" (US number three), and "18 Yellow Roses" (US number 10). The latter two were recorded by [[Capitol Records]], which he joined in 1962, before returning to Atlantic three years later.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2CgEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22bobby+darin%22+%2B+atlantic+%2B+1965+%2B+billboard&pg=PA4|title=Billboard|date=July 17, 1965}}</ref> Darin left Capitol in 1964.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BCIEAAAAMBAJ&q=Darin%20Exits%20Cap%20Label&pg=PA4 |title=Billboard - Google Books | date=March 21, 1964 | access-date=August 17, 2015}}</ref> Two years later, he had his final UK hit single, with a version of [[Tim Hardin]]'s "[[If I Were a Carpenter (song)|If I Were A Carpenter]]", which peaked at number 9 (number eight in the US). Darin performed the opening and closing songs on the soundtrack of the 1965 [[Walt Disney]] film ''[[That Darn Cat!]]''. "Things" was sung by [[Dean Martin]] in the 1967 TV special ''[[Movin' With Nancy]]'', starring [[Nancy Sinatra]].<ref name=prime>{{Cite AV media|people=Nancy Sinatra|title=Movin' with Nancy|medium=Song listing|publisher=Image Intertainment|location=Chatsworth, CA|date=2000}}</ref>
