Giselle Dubson, The Bobby Darin Foundation
Tufano was the standout to the Bobby Darin fans in attendance. His mastery of the songs was complete, his timing impeccable, his energy without limits. I remember saying to my companion at the show, “He’s got the moves!” We could hardly believe it. We felt very lucky to have this entertainer who was equal to doing justice to the work of Bobby Darin. Understand, we are not in the market for Bobby Darin imitators. Bobby Darin had a style of singing uniquely his own, and no one can duplicate it. But when a seasoned performer like Dennis Tufano takes this music into his heart and makes it his own, there are going to be happy Bobby Darin fans in the h!ouse, indeed.
