For Bobby Darin, performing was his life. It kept his heart beating. He came alive onstage, even when he was near collapse offstage. From the age of seven, Walden Robert Cassotto--Little Bobby knows the odds are stacked against him. Rheumatic fever has permanently damaged his heart, and heâs not expected to make it to age fifteen. Bobbyâs family pour all their energies into caring for him. Bobbyâs frail heart may be one truth, but his mother Polly, a former singer, introduces her boy to another wonderful truth: music. Music becomes Bobbyâs bargaining chip against time; heâs not only singing, but also playing piano, drums and guitar before he even hits his teens. Music takes him into a world beyond the Bronx, and beyond sickness. Itâs a world of effortlessly swinging songs, and couples dancing to the lilt of Bobbyâs voice. Bobby has a plan, and no heart ailment will stop him.
