Bobby Darin Sings Doctor Dolittle is an album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in 1967. It was arranged and conducted by Roger Kellaway. The album sold poorly, received little label promotion and was subsequently dropped from the label's catalog. This, in part, was to blame for Darin's separation from Atlantic and the beginning of his own label, Direction.[1]
The album was released on compact disc by Edsel Records on August 13, 2007, paired with Darin's 1968 album Bobby Darin Born Walden Robert Cassotto.[2]
Music critic JT Griffith wrote in his Allmusic review "Not an essential Darin album, even to crazed fans. The songs are solid but the material is (obviously) neither his most weighty nor his most fun... One of the few genuine missteps in Darin's career."
Billboard gave the album a postive review, saying "[Darin] has captured the flavor of the [Film] score, while adding his sepcial touch"[3]
New Record Mirror thought the album was "a fine record", and claimed "The brilliant Leslie Bricusse tunes from "Dr, Dolittle" are given an original Bobby Darin treatment on this album"[4]
