Dion or Bobby Darin?

It's actually a good time to get that 3-CD box set King Of The New York Streets. Originally released in 2000, it fell out-of-print and became a pricey collector's item, but with the deflation of the CD market, it's not hard to find bargain used copies that go for far less than the original retail price. There are some Columbia-era gems that I wish had been included, but it collects pretty much all of the hits and best-known tracks. The bulk of disc three isn't quite as good, but even in the '90s, his voice was still in excellent form. (The doo wop re-arrangement of Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind" is marvelous.)

Used to have that, and yeah, your review is accurate.

Also seek his doo-wop version of “Book of Dreams”!
